I don't understand why they stopped putting drain plugs on ice chests. They only have them in very large ice chests. I guess it's because it costs an extra 30 cents to include them. I'd rather pay a few extra bucks and save my back, and I don't want 120qt ice chests.

In my non-expert opinion, I'd guess leaking (as mentioned above) and it likely takes away from insulation in an age of statistics and making ice last as long as possible

Even the best would leak. the seals would wear out, and there was no way to replace the part.


And paying $500 for a cooler is laughable.

Seems easy enough to come up with a plug that uses a nice standard size o-ring.

Good thing I paid $0 for my two Yetis. They have seals on the plugs.

The art of bragging has gone to shite. Used to be war exploits, athletic achievements, mansions, job achievement - now it is what fricking ice chest you own.
