I don't understand the obsession with the Yeti ice chest.

I have used Igloo ice chests my enire life and have never had a problem with one. I understand that the Yeti has much more insulation and is bear proof but since I live in Louisiana I am not terribly worried about bears breaking into my cooler. I also have not had problems with ice melting away in my igloo even in the dead of summer while fishing all day in open water with no cover. Some ice does melt but not enough to make me want to spend 10 times as much money for an ice chest. I can buy 10 Igloo's for one big Yeti. Can you explain the justification for buying such a thing? Is it some sort of status symbol?

as absurd as it might seem to consider a cooler a status symbol...
yes, it has become a status symbol

I could create a watch. I'll call the Rolex.
I'll make that shite out of gold I tell ya. Probable spend about $500 just in gold.
I'll sell that bitch for $12000

All I know is when we take ours offshore, we're in and out of it all day, fill it up with fish and then have some ice left over for the next day. Part of that is also the ice we use, DI ice ftw. Not to mention we can't tear that damn ice chest up. It just handles the wear and tear of hard use better than any other cooler we've used.

Rolex prices have skyrocketed in the past year as well. stainless should not be approaching 8k

I mean for a beer ice chest, it is just like any other. Keeping ice while fishing all day it works very well.
and FTR, I had yetis before yeti was cool and I do not have a sticker on my truck and or a yeti trucker hat.

I understand it for offshore, but that's about it. If you have the money to go offshore, then a yeti is a good investment. Not everyone that owns one goes offshore though and that I don't get.

ok,somebody already came up with that idea. 
How bout sunglasses? I'll make fishing glasses. Let's call em Costas. Yeah. Those bitches will be made of acrylic.
I can sell these bitches for like $200

I don't get it either. Pelican makes a better box for less money.
Pelicans are not as good as yetis or the k2s, not to mention pelican doesn't make one bigger than like 95qt.

If I ever own one, it'll be for the same reason I get a king ranch f150, 60" TV, or Rolex watch. Because I can.

The best thing to keep ice if you don't have a fancy cooler is get clean, filtered ice. If possible even deionized.
