The company behind the coveted Stanley devised a new way to launch its latest Quencher after chaos ensued when prior products hit store shelves.
Pacific Market International's namesake brand, Stanley, posted on its website it had teamed up with Australia-based EQL for the launch of its limited edition Chocolate Gold Quencher.
"To enhance fairness and ease the pressure of rushing through the checkout process within seconds, our goal is to provide everyone with an equitable opportunity to acquire the Stanley they desire," the company wrote.
One of the goals in using EQL is to "prevent bots and resellers from depleting stock meant for our genuine fans."
The company has helped heavy hitters such as Nike, Crocs and Foot Looker with launching products in high demand. The Quencher fits that bill.
The company had leaned in on using social media platforms and influencers to garner the interest of millions. It worked, and consumers were flocking to shelves, even trampling one another, just to get their hands on one. Some have dubbed the chaos "Stanleymania."

Within a day, customers will be sent their results.
