Yeah... I highly doubt that.

Anyone that buys Yeti is a fricking moron.


Even better than a home Depot bucket for $4. You can get a bucket from Firehouse subs for $2. I grew weed on Colorado one summer, and used both buckets. When it was time to put my plants into a bigger pot, the home Depot buckets were thick and easy to cut. But the firehouse buckets are thick as hell. I had to get a reciprocating saw to cut the bottom off.

Plus the lid has an o ring. So it's perfect to brine or marinate a bunch of food overnight.

Lol. I usually forget proof read. Especially during my after work smoke.

I got a Yeti sticker for the car. Everyone rips on me for putting it on there. But the fact is, car cools off so much faster in the summer now. And it hasn't once been attacked by a bear

Can’t put a kid in your car, though.

I love the examples always used as to what should constitute a REAL use for a Yeti.


Well, they were "examples", it wasn't meant to be an all-inclusive and complete list of what I consider appropriate. Next time I'll be sure to include "Primitive camping for a week in the summer with the nearest store being 45 minutes away". I don't want you to feel left out.

It really doesn't affect me what kind of cooler anyone uses, but my personal opinion is they're heavy, bulky, and a pain in the arse to haul around. Under certain circumstances, totally worth it.

I can’t attest to the Wally World brand, but I put a yeti cup against a knock off that I got as a promo. Exactly 6 pieces of ice, in the car for the same amount of time(12 hours). The yeti may have had a hair more ice, but we’re close enough not to pay the difference. Did it as a life lesson for my 2 teens. A name brand doesn’t make it superior.

For what the camp/boat/motor/trailer plus electronics, fuel, maintenance, etc costs an ice chest that prevents me from having to run back to the landing every day for ice is a drop in the bucket. Have both Yeti and RTIC coolers and they’re both mint.

The 30oz cup travels with me and is used pretty much daily. The Ozarks/RTICs weren’t out yet when I got it. Totally worth it. Also drink my coffee from a Yeti Lowball most mornings. Unless I’m fixing a cup on the run, the Magellan cups fit the cup holder in my lifted double platinum reserve F250.

We have the first gen of those and it sucks because of the opening. That one is much better. My favorite is the little square topped one though.

I’ve got the 1st gen and my buddy has the 2nd gen. Mine is 20,000 times better when the humidity is up and there’s condensation rolling off the bag. On the first gen it just stays where it is with the tall lip around the top.

The 2nd gen just ends up with condensation streaming down the side and pooling around the base which gets everything around it wet, along with you when you pick it up or move it around.

No contest on the design. The over reacted to complaints with the difficult opening on the first gen. The trade off with condensation and running off isn’t worth it IMO.
