Our coolers can hold ice up to 10 days. Of course that doesn’t mean you can leave your cooler out in the Mojave Dessert in 120 degree temperatures and open it every 30 minutes.



Doesnt seem sketchy at all

Must be Yetis that they are getting wholesale and just up-charging a little more. They look identical.

How or why would someone think they could build that and have no repercussions from Yeti?

Sure, but can you STAND on it? Or will it stop an escaped carnival bear from breaking into your boat and eating your fish? No? That's what I thought.

has nothing to do with being poor, has to do with spending money wisely.

If one even entertains the notion that making or not making a 300 dollar purchase has a reflection on wealth, well, we know what end of the spectrum they fall.


Number one car brand by folks with a million dollar net worth...Ford, number one vehicle of the Ford owners, F150. Not that they CANT afford another vehicle, it is about utility.

RTIC has an easy lift handle... TOTALLY NOT THE SAME COOLER


none of the dimensions are the same either

quote:

I've heard Yeti filled a trademark infringement against them


I would imagine it is as simple as RTIC doesn't put the ® or ™ behind the word Yeti when speaking of them on their website

I foresee Yeti, Pelican and others will have to change their price structure in the future to remain competitive...

They won't last long if they keep screwing customers.

Curious...Does Yeti or any of the others support the following causes?

"Millionaire Next Door"


If two guys have $1,000,000 apiece;
One buys a Ford F150 for 30,000;
The other buys a Range Rover for 60,000 and then does all that high school shite to his truck (light bar, speakers, gold trim, HA!, Yeti sticker etc) and keeps that behavior up, he will end up like Warren Sapp.

Tigerfoot is not saying a Yeti Cooler will break you, but that there is a cost effective option that keeps you a millionaire.

It is from the book "The Millionaire Next Door" while Ford was listed as the number one brand, the F150 was listed as owned by 3 out of 10 millionaires.

Man, I picked up one of those Mammoths that were on woot awhile back, everybody I know with a Yeti wants one. Hold ice just as long and half the weight. I've been hoping woot would have them again but no luck yet.
