I really hope some smart marketer can get these Yeti-buying people to start buying Fisher Scientific traceable one time use thermal loggers along with their packs of red hots and brauts. From there they can sell magnetic cocktail stirrers for their sweet tea. Grits heated up on the stovetop in precision platinum crucibles. Blowing $400 on specific-yet-generic plastic is the heart and soul of the labware industry. There is so much money to be made. Probably will be a thing in 10 years or so once the generation of STEM-OR-DIE kids get money and need to purchase their self esteem. Or maybe things stay on course and it all just remains the province of those awful Buy It For Life pukes that agonize for a year on every knapsack and travel mug decision because they have nothing else worth thinking about.

It's a pretty smart move- steal a bunch of cambros from the red cross, figure out a brand name that is synonymous with cold and has a conspicuous "t" in it. Wish I would've done that.

Never heard of these things so looked them up on Amazon. 300 dollars for what appears to be a tastefully coloured builders bucket. Nice. https://www.amazon.com/Yeti-Tank-85-Cooler-Blue/dp/B00E1FJIJO Edit: Oh plus 50 for a lid lol KM Scorchio fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Sep 10, 2016 |

It must be difficult living when you are so weak that the mere sight of a cooler triggers you. One love.

Ok confession time. When I'm out on the roads and see trouble or a person in need I pull my Ford Focus (hatchback) into the nearest parking garage. Then i summon Yeti/Salt Life/Truck Nutz and my car turns into a massive lifted hemi Dodge Ram with a light rack that shines across two states and power I don't understand. The curse is the truck is now too big to exit the parking garage. So, I have to change it all back and it's my secret shame that no one has ever seen or believes me about my amazing magic truck.

A few months ago I noticed that I had at least three busted Coleman coolers on my back patio so I pitched them and got myself a nice 45 qt Pelican cooler. It's raccoon/bear proof which is a thing where I go camping and it holds ice for 10 days if you are smart about it, longer if you use a layer of dry ice at the bottom. Yes, it cost quite a bit but the build quality is excellent and basically having a working cooler for the rest of my life is handled.

Someone left one of these at my house this summer and the thing is amazing, they left it filled with ice and beer and several days later all the ice was still there and the beers were still cold. I would not pay for a new one but if people want to keep leaving them here i am fine with that.

A coworker has a yeti and while it does keep ice solid for like three days, it achieves this by having walls twice as thick as standard coolers, so like a medium yeti will hold maybe a 12 pack. It they made a cooler with super thin walls, a lid I can stand on, and it kept ice for three days, then it might be worth $400.

The only reason to spend several hundred dollars on a cooler is if you need your ice to not melt for a week. The longer the ice retention, the higher the price. If your taking sodas and beers to a cookout, then a normal cooler is fine. If your going camping for a week and want to keep drinks and certain food items cold that whole time, then you'll want one of those pricey coolers.

Pubic Lair posted:To be fair modern coolers are very lovely. They aren't well insulated, they have lovely hinges that break and can't be replaced, the handles break off. That bear attack is pretty amazing, the bear goes straight to ripping off the latches and trying to pry the lid off. I didn't believe the cooler was mauled for an entire hour until the after pic showed there are locks on the corners opposite the hinges. So the bear could rip off the latches, but not the hinges and locks. Locks seem like cheating.

My boss was trying to sell me on the idea of getting one of the travel coffee mug versions of one of em, had no clue they were that pricey. I'd rather spend my money on pieces of cardboard with foil on them that make me win at a dumb game.

I don't think its the coolers themselves that set people off, its (at least for me) the fact that people want to trumpet the Yeti "lifestyle" like they're the only one "living" it. I know someone who has one of the metal can coozies, and he shows up with it at parties while wearing a Yeti camo baseball cap and a Yeti t-shirt that shows a guy and a grizzly bear drinking beer together. He also carries a special Yeti bottle opener shaped life a tarpon. And yes, his car has a Yeti sticker. Also there are some Yetis under the floorboards. It's like a new generation's version of being a Parrothead. The coolers themselves are awesome (I have received two as gifts) for keeping bears out of your food or bringing dorado back to shore, but lol at someone who can't really afford one buying it as a status symbol. What's funny is the same guy who will bitch about people on welfare buying Air Jordans will turn around and put off getting braces for his kids because he needs that Yeti cooler for tailgating season to edit: My bro just bought one of these a couple months ago for about $100 and I'm jealous.

My $25 ones are better, but scratched when I put them in the same pocket as my phone My $100 Costas can survive such awful treatment and they def are far far clearer and brighter then the other two.

Like you can buy a regular electric charcoal lighter for $12 or you can buy the one that's identical but says BGE on it for $35. They also sell special charcoal that costs 2-3x as much as any other brand and is probably just charcoal they bought from Kingsford and poured into a new bag.
