re: So what's the difference in Yeti Ice Chests vs Igloo?

My brother in law has a Yeti. He uses it at the lake, and at their house whenever they have a big party. He doesn't go out fishing or camping for days on end, so I'm not sure why he got it. My 10 year old Igloo Ice Cube is still going strong, and that thing has been beat to hell. It is a beast to carry out to the beach when loaded down with ice and beer, and with greasy suntan lotioned hands. But I just man up and hoist it up to my shoulder and walk across the sand like a boss. Letting all the soccer moms admire my jelly like mid-section, pale complexion, and tree trunk thighs. I'm starting to develop that old man strength. I don't care if the thing is 100 lbs or more, I can straight lift it over my head and walk with it. There's things that even a cool sticker or hat can't do for you, and there is no way I could hoist a loaded down Yeti over my head and walk with it on my shoulder.

Your value and mine differ. Imagine that, I love this fricking Country!

If you are going camping for a weekend though and can somehow bring a yeti, its totally worth it. Will keep your stuff ice cold the entire weekend even in the heat.

Fair enough. Let's do a math problem...
Cooler 1 costs $75
Cooler 2 Costs $300
Cooler 1 keeps your stuff cold for 3 days
Cooler 2 keeps your stuff cold for 5+ days
You have 10 events per years where you need to keep items cold in your cooler for more than 3 days. On those trips you have to buy another bag of ice to add to cooler 1.
If a bag of ice costs $1.50, how many trips over over 3 days duration will you have to take before you spend the same amount of money on cooler 1 as you did on cooler 2?

You forgot one main point, with an igloo I'm labeled as poor.
No thank you.

Yeti is to rednecks as Chive is to douchebags. They all just want the sticker to look a part.

tell me exactly how the hell am I going to buy another bag of ice when I'm in the middle of the GOM, marsh or in the middle of the woods 30 miles from the nearest gas station?

We get it, you don't like them or wouldn't pay for it. I'll never understand why people can't get over what other people do with their own money.

Punctuation goes inside of the quotes. FYI.
Didn't call you a troll though

Im totally cool with people using yeti for the appropriate purposes. However, I have tons of friends that have them and will bring them to the pool for an afternoon.
I'd rather bring my rolling igloo to the pool that 1 person and carry while talking on their phone than a cooler that costs 6x as much and takes two people to bring anywhere.
