Couple shocked to find Stanley cup completely untouched after fire destroys their entire home
A couple was shocked to find their Stanley cup completely untouched after a fire destroyed their entire home.
Alexus Wilkins, from Denton, Georgia, took to TikTok earlier this week to share her devastation after her house had burned down.
Not only did she and her fiancé, Hunter Pittman, lose their entire abode, but pretty much all of their belongings were also destroyed in the blaze… except for one item: their Stanley cup.
The couple were stunned to discover that the tumbler was in pretty much perfect condition despite the destruction.
Alexus posted a short clip to the video streaming platform that showed her walking through what was left of her home.
She made her way through rubble and soot, before she turned the camera to Hunter, who held up the pristine tumbler, which was the Stanley X Lainey Wilson Country Gold.
‘When your house burns down and you go back to find one specific thing…’ she wrote.
The Georgia-native then cut to a close up video of the cup, which was covered in dirt but had no dents, scratches, or burn marks.

‘IN THE LAINEY WILSON STANLEY WE TRUST,’ she captioned the clip.
Immediately, Alexus’ TikTok went viral, gaining more than 12 million views in a matter of days.
Many viewers were impressed by the Stanley cup’s durability, and took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
‘Petition for Stanley to build houses,’ one person wrote.
‘Stanley needs to make safe boxes at this point,’ agreed another user.
‘Note to self, keep valuables inside a Stanley cup,’ someone else joked.
‘This is good marketing for Stanley,’ a fourth comment read, while a fifth said. ‘That’s literally crazy.’
In a GoFundMe for the couple, Alexus’ sister explained that their house had become ‘fully engulfed in flames’ which lead to them ‘losing everything.’

Last February, a woman named Rachel claimed on TikTok that her Stanley had saved her life after a stray bullet tore through the walls of her home and ricocheted off the popular tumbler
Plus, in November 2023, another TikToker named Danielle Marie Lettering revealed that a car fire incinerated her vehicle – but left the insulated container completely intact
She added that Alexus was ‘luckily’ at work when it happened and that Hunter and his grandmother were home but ‘made it out.’
Unfortunately, she said some of their dogs ‘were not able to be rescued.’
‘They have all worked so very hard for the things that they have and continue to do so every day,’ she wrote.
‘We are thankful everyone made it out alive, but they need all of the help that they can get.
‘Donations of any kind are greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please lift them up in your prayers.’
This isn’t the first time a Stanley cup has survived something horrific.
