re: is there a real difference in between YETI and all of the knock offs

This! I can buy about 8-10 igloos of the same size for the price of a yeti. I'm still trying to figure out when I would need to keep ice frozen for 8-10 days anyway. I had an igloo out back by my pool over the Memorial day weekend. Ice down beer on Saturday morn and Sunday evening there was still ice in it....But only a couple bottles of water left.

What I found melts the ice faster is letting the water sit in there overnight. I have an older Igloo Cube, and back when we would take a week long trip to the beach, I'd dump 3-4 bags of ice in it the first day. Throw water/Gatorade in the bottom, dump a couple bags. Add beer, dump the other bags. At night, I'd open the drain, tilt it on the side, and let what melted drain out. I could just add whatever the icemaker in the fridge made to the top the next day, and I never ran out over 4-5 days.
