I own two Yeti cups. One was an incentive gift when I bout a truck bed cover. The other I bought, the burnt Orange Longhorn logo 20oz rambler.

I have a couple of Rtics. Those are also overpriced. I’ll say this though, and I imagine it’s even worse at the Yeti store, when you go into Rtic, all the different products and colors make you want to buy stuff. Shit you don’t need for prices you shouldn’t pay (no matter what your posted pay stub says).

This dude tested the Walmart Ozark Trail vs the Yeti rambler using a data logger, and there is really no difference in the ability to keep hot drinks hot/cold drinks cold. The Yeti costs 4X the price, but it does have a slider on the drink lid. Yeti products are well made, but not really any better made than the competition. Like most premium brands, its just effective product marketing.

Yeah, I have seen a bunch of those comparison videos. It’s marketing and status signaling. Which is weird, because it’s a fucking cup. I think the newer Magellan cups have sliding lids. Or at least ones that close.

My wife wanted me to get some reusable Yeti blue ice blocks for her Yeti cooler she takes on her rodeo road trips.  She wanted me to make sure I got the Yeti brand because, according to her, it’s designed to be used with Yeti coolers and keeps the cooler contents well….cooler.  
 

She got the Igloo variety of reusable blue ice block and I got a nice round of “why can’t you listen to me, aaaaarguuuuhhhhh?????!!!!????!!!!??” and gnashing of teeth from her.

Saved a bunch of money though.

Came to say the same. I’ve got an Ozark Trail that is as good or better than all of the rest of those. My favorite may be Orca due to the lids though.

[ScottS 1071]

Do you need a new cast iron skillet?  Do you have $400 to spend on a cast iron skillet?  If the answer to both questions is "yes", then Yeti has got you covered.

The $400 Yeti cast iron skillet

Unfortunately they are out of stock right now but you can be notified when they are available so hold on to your cash.

Anyone want to cut some for us? I'd buy in a heartbeat

It's a 350 butter pat with a yeti logo and some accessories. It's still stupid expensive.

Has anyone done a better job on building a brand than Yeti? My first thought is to say Apple, but they make products that are unique from the competition. 

Other companies literally make was Yeti does, sell it for 25% of the price, and yet Yeti still seems to sell enormous amounts.

I'd have to clear space in order to add another insulated cup to my collection anyway.  I think the shark has been jumped now in my need for more insulated cups.

This.  Now that every company's sales/promo team seems to be sending out branded Yeti cups as swag lately, I never need to buy another insulated cup or mug ever again.

I said this upthread, but I hadn't seen it validated by anyone here-- but what I'm seeing in the exburbs is that Yeti is old-hat now and out and it's all about the Stanley cups for the younger families and tiktok generation.

They're famous for hand planes also.  What about these short shorts though?

Different definition, but Tito's (allegedly) pulls in about the same amount of revenue as Yeti and makes . . . vodka?  I understand it's pretty good vodka, but it seems Yeti was an early leader in their field.  Tito's, not so much.

thats what makes it not a corvette.

aesthetically a corvette is a big long hood to hold that big motor.  cab-forward design with side scoops feeding the rear engine is too "european".  they changed the fundamental concept.

It would be cool if they had developed a new model name consistent with Corvette/Stingray, I'll grant you that.  Not sure what that might be, but it's water under the dam at this point, anyway.

I got a Yeti chair for Christmas last year.  It's like sitting on a cloud. I have no regrets, it wasn't my money.

[CooterBrown 18022]

28 cooler brands compared.

TLDW: Orion, Cabella's, Orca, and Otterbox all lasted 9 days. Yeti and RTIC lasted 7 days.

They were expensive, but I just got two of the best camp chairs I've ever sat in.  They are amazing.  Got them 30% off at REI, so $200 each instead of $300.  But they are worth $300.

Those might be OK, but they look like cheap knockoffs.  And they don't recline.  The Nemo chairs' base is heavy duty aluminum (chairs are rated to 300#) and they recline just by leaning back.

I have used both my man. Other than cheaper materials and being heavier, they sit the same. And yes they recline just fine. Buddy swears by his Nemo's  but bought these to add more to his RV setup for guests, and they are almost interchangeable.

You do you.  They don't say anything about reclining, though.  Not on the Costco website, anyway.  I try to avoid buying anything from Walmart if I can.

That's fair, and I swear by my Nemo backpacking pillow. Was just pointing out that there are cheaper alternatives for folks that didn't want to spend yeti money on a chair.

how do you not feel squished in those camping chairs?  i tried the stargaze they had at REI and it was so uncomfortable.  the ones they had at costco were better imo.
