Yeti cuts ties with NRA

[Gman]

"Abominable Snowman", er, "Abominable Snowperson", er, "Abominable Snowbeing," er, "Differently-behaved Snowbeing", er, ah forget it.

You put food and beverages in a cooler, right?

How about "Abdominal Snowman"?

You paid $800 for a fucking cooler? I hope it keeps food fresh for a century and fellatiates you regularly for that kind of money.

It's all about context. I feel the exact same way as people who have car payments, but every single month. If you keep your cooler for 15 years, and every time you camp, hunt, fish it saves you a trip to town, then I'd say it's worth it. If you don't ever do anything that requires ice for at least ten days though, then of course you wouldn't want to spend that kind of money.

For the record, I have an RTIC.

I just put Yeti stickers over the Coleman or Igloo logo.

My Yeti cooler is now going to be my ammo box.

I'm curious about the claims that Yeti's cups are better than RTIC's given the previous copyright infringement lawsuit. My RTIC bottles and cups work just fine and I liked the price points much better than Yeti's.

I can't speak to the cups, but I can describe the bottle tribulations of the dude.

The 3 bottles on the right side are RTIC. The black one furthest I got on sale and was hoping to use as a growler. I did this once, bought the beer on a Thurs, and drank on Fri / Sat. I think something was wrong with the beer, but worse, the top was almost impossible to open and it poured like absolute $#!*. Never again for that. I may use it for water for camping. The red one in the middle is fine. No issues. The orange one I love(d), but on TWO occasions, leaked ALL over the inside of my bag and all over work papers. Just water, but still. OK, maybe the top wasn't on bubba tight, but it wasn't loose. And I have another one like that in the package.

The Stanley my BIL got me for a growler. It is awesome. I like it as much as my hydroflasks (not pictured) from the local drinking establishment.

The big green yeti on the far left I bought because two doctors suggested I drink a smoothie daily, so, there I go. $40, and the smoothies were $5 each at work, and I spend $10 for the materials / week.
The smaller green I got because that stupid orange one leaked everywhere. Theoretically, I should be drinking several of those / day. Most days are like today however, and I did not even open it. At least I got my smoothie down though.
The yeti bottles have been drama free. I like 'em.

Maybe I'll start up a competitor to Yeti called "Not Yeti".

Be careful with that one...

I'm intrigued by this idea of drinking beer out of a thermos. Can you expand on that? Is it for like a camping trip far away from a liquor store that sells bombers, or more like you're a slow drinker like me and by the time you're half way done it's room temperature?

Growler, Irv... He's buying a 1/2 gal of tap micro at the local brewpub as a take-home purchase.

I can try.
I get the drinking establishment to fill the thermos.
Then I close the thermos.
Then I pack the thermos.
Later on, I attempt to open the thermos, based on said quality.
Once open though, I'm like a chocoholic. But for booze.

Makes sense to me.
