She asked for a Stanley cup, he got her an NHL Stanley Cup replica: A dad joke for our time

A Minnesota father took full advantage of a marketing homophone to surprise his daughter with a Stanley cup.
Karley Olufson, a Coons Rapids middle school student, put the viral tumbler on her Christmas list and her father took an opportunity to connect his gift to Minnesota's state sport.
Olufson's father purchased a replica of the Stanley Cup, the trophy awarded to the champion of the National Hockey League and the oldest professional trophy in sports and when she opened it Olufson was confused.
"I opened it and it was this giant trophy and I was like, 'Did I win something? Like best daughter award?'" Olufson told KARE. "He was like, 'It's a Stanley Cup, you've wanted this forever!' He's like 'You're so excited... isn't it great?' and I was like, 'Yeah I love it… it's amazing."
Olufson would later receive the tumbler she wanted when she celebrated Christmas at her mother's home.
Olufson's older sister Kadence posted the exchange on Tik-Tok and the clip went viral, garnering over 800,000 views according to KARE.
"I thought it was going to maybe get 30 likes and I woke up the next morning and was like I've never seen that many notifications in my life ever," Kadence said.
How many Stanley cups can fill the Stanley Cup
The bowl of the Stanley Cup can hold just over 2 gallons of liquid, according to The Sporting News. It would take almost seven 40-ounce Stanley cups to fill the bowl of the trophy.
How much water a day should you drink from a Stanley cup?
The common advice of drinking eight glasses of water a day is an easy to remember goal, though it is not a one-size-fits-all answer.
"The truth is, there’s no magic formula to quantify adequate hydration," Dr. Michael Daignault wrote for USA Today.
The Mayo Clinic says that the water intake a person needs will fluctuate due to factors including exercise, environmental conditions and other health concerns.
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that a most men should take in about 15.5 cups of fluids a day and most women should take in about 11.5 cups of fluids a day.
Water is not the only fluid that applies to those figures as 20% of daily fluid intake comes from food, according to the Mayo Clinic.
"After accommodating for fluids obtained from food, the adage of aiming to drink about six to eight glasses of water a day (1.2-1.5 liters) is generally agreed upon and seems practical," Daignault wrote.
The doctor's recommendation equates to just over one full Stanley cup of water consumed in a day.
