Two modern-day icons have teamed up for the drinkware collab of back-to-school season: Barbie and Stanley. Stanley is dropping new limited edition Barbie Quenchers in 40-ounce sizes every day this week. Barbie’s most iconic looks inspire these designs, which celebrate the brand’s 65th anniversary. There’s even a nod to Ken on the last day of the launch.
There are two drops scheduled for today: the 1959 Original Quencher and the ’60s Twist ‘N Turn Quencher (seen above). Each Stanley drop happens at noon ET (9 a.m. PT). Snag one before it sells out. (They make great Christmas gifts!)

Tuesday: 1959 Original and ’60s Twist ‘N Turn Quenchers (40 ounce)
Stanley
There are two big Barbie x Stanley cup drops happening on Tuesday, both at noon ET. The 1959 Original Quencher (seen here) is inspired by the first Barbie doll, released that year. The cup features the iconic black and white stripe from the first-edition Barbie’s swimsuit and a graphic of cat-eye sunglasses, with pool blue and hot pink accents. The limited-edition, 40-ounce recycled stainless steel Quencher retails for $60.
The second Tuesday drop, the ’60s Twist ‘N Turn Quencher, honors the poseable Barbies of the decade with silhouettes of the dolls right on the mug. It features a sorbet gradient with a tangerine lid and straw combo. This 40-ounce Stanley tumbler also retails for $60.
There’s no telling how long these new Barbie Stanley Quenchers will stay in stock, so grab yours while you can by tapping the buttons below.
Monday: Barbie Icon Quencher (30- and 40-ounce)
Stanley
Monday’s Barbie Stanley cup drop celebrates Barbie holding more than 250 careers and inspiring generations as a result.
The 40-ounce Stanley cup retails for $60, while the the 30-ounce retails for $50.
We love Stanley cups because these double-wall insulated stainless steel mugs keep drinks iced for 2 days and cold for 11 hours. Iced drinks stay cold for two days. They’re pretty stylish and collectible too, especially in the new Barbie designs.
Stanley cups fit in car cup holders despite their large size and have a straw that makes staying hydrated just a little more fun. The viral version of the Stanley cup is the 40-ounce model, likely because drinking two of them almost equals the suggested daily water intake for women, taking the guesswork out of drinking enough water each day.
At least 11 employees were taken to hospitals and residents were urged to shelter in place on Tuesday after an explosion at a Louisville, Kentucky, business.
The Louisville Metro Emergency Services reported on social media a “hazardous materials incident” at 1901 Payne St., in Louisville. The address belongs to a facility operated by Givaudan Sense Colour, a manufacturer of food colorings for soft drinks and other products, according to officials and online records.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said emergency teams responded to the blast around 3 p.m. News outlets reported that neighbors heard what sounded like an explosion coming from the business. Overhead news video footage showed an industrial building with a large hole in its roof.

“The cause at this point of the explosion is unknown,” Greenberg said in a news conference. No one died in the explosion, he added.
Greenberg said officials spoke to employees inside the plant. “They have initially conveyed that everything was normal activity when the explosion occurred,” he said.
The Louisville Fire Department said in a post on the social platform X that multiple agencies were responding to a “large-scale incident.”
The Louisville Metro Emergency Services first urged people within a mile of the business to shelter in place, but that order was lifted in the afternoon. An evacuation order for the two surrounding blocks around the site of the explosion was still in place Tuesday afternoon.

A rare square 37-carat emerald owned by the Aga Khan fetched nearly $9 million at auction in Geneva on Tuesday, making it the world’s most expensive green stone.
Sold by Christie’s, the Cartier diamond and emerald brooch, which can also be worn as a pendant, dethrones a piece of jewelry made by the fashion house Bulgari, which Richard Burton gave as a wedding gift to fellow actor Elizabeth Taylor, as the most precious emerald.
In 1960, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan commissioned Cartier to set the emerald in a brooch with 20 marquise-cut diamonds for British socialite Nina Dyer, to whom he was briefly married.
Dyer then auctioned off the emerald to raise money for animals in 1969.

By chance that was Christie’s very first such sale in Switzerland on the shores of Lake Geneva, with the emerald finding its way back to the 110th edition this year.
It was bought by jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels before passing a few years later into the hands of Harry Winston, nicknamed the “King of Diamonds.”
“Emeralds are hot right now, and this one ticks all the boxes,” said Christie’s EMEA Head of Jewellery Max Fawcett. “…We might see an emerald of this quality come up for sale once every five or six years.”
Also set with diamonds, the previous record-holder fetched $6.5 million at an auction of part of Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor’s renowned jewelry collection in New York.
