I don't own a yetti, but sometimes I feel like getting one and putting 30A sticks all over it just to piss people off.

No way I would need such an expensive chest.



I feel sorry for those folks whom don't wander far away from civilization enough to need one.

2 more years and my nice cooler will pay itself off with less ice consumption than my others.

My favorite thing about Yeti products is that you only have to fill them up with ice once and then you’re good.

This is why I think Bucc-ees is an RTIC dealer. Ice melts in those products so they get more ice sales. If they sold yeti the repeat ice customers would never be back.

No, just that they keep ice from melting as fast. They are actually very functional. Imagine that, buying something because it's actually a good product.




I have the Hopper flip 18 soft sided one and use it all the time. Works perfect, does not leak in my car and keeps ice well


I have a couple of the Rambler cups and use them everyday. They are keep my drinks cold and are easy to use.


I laugh when I read the BS here about Yeti's. Yes they are over priced but they work fine and I have never had a issue with any of them...

People get triggered by the dumbest shite.

I easily save 75 bucks a year on ice. The thing I hate most is they just had to stir the pot at an unfortunate time.

I took off the yeti sticker on both mine. frick them. Won't get rid of them but I'm not buying anything else from them.

Rubbermaid makes an ice chest just as good for 30 bucks

Negative. Yeti is horribly overpriced and there isn’t any ice chest that will keep ice indefinitely in the Southern United States but they run circles around the Chinese shite known as Rubbermaid.

Had a family member who worked for them
..got tons of freebies. Only two things I would pay for if I had to are my 2 softsider small ice chests and the highball size cups that are great for keeping coffee hot...everything else is too heavy and too expensive...and muh, NRA.

Have one that was giving to me. Guess which one stays in the shop? Yep, the yeti. Way to dam heavy. Used it twice and will never use it again. Ice is cheap.

It’s good if you don’t open it often but when you consume many cold ones and your friends dig in to the cold brews it’s no. Wetter than any other for that . They do last longer but they heavy as a truck especially when you got no help lifting it into your truck or boat

This. I have a very old SSI 300 qt box that holds ice easy for a week+. Better then a yeti. That box is well over 30 years old. Only use it for deer/pig meat now. Bought it for offshore fishing/deck box. And yes, that box paid for itself over the years in ice.

My senior pictures from 1992 I was rocking some Tommy Hilfiger. I always wondered what happened to it.

As far as Yetis, I do see a lot of giveaways with them. My daughters school had a silent auction type event and four of the gift baskets had yeti coolers instead of baskets.

My father in law bought me a 75. I have no idea how people haul those things around so I built a Redwood container for it and it stays on my deck.

Kind of like this:



Drives my father in law nuts that it never leaves the house.

A few years ago our vendors were giving them away with their logos on them.

I have 4-5 Yeti cups and one of those bag coolers. I wouldn't pay more than about $75 for an ice chest but it does work well.
