Chili Ron Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Howdy, A friend showed me his Yeti drink glass or cup whatever. He said it would keep a cold drink and ice cold overnight. It is a 30 ounce cup. I dont need to be walking around with a quart of drink in my hand...but it would leave room for ice I guess.... I went to their website and they have all sorts of cup mug and glass sizes and shapes. Ive used travel mugs for coffee for years and a cold mug sounds good. Any ideas on what one to pick?? They have all sorts of attachments and can run up a price quickly. I would like to hear from pards who actually use these. Thanks aheadotime.

Sedalia Dave Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Every accessory that fits a Yeti cup will fit the Ozark trail cup and vice versa. Only difference is the logo and the price. They are both made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Heavy marketing. A very good product. Way overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have tried numerous types of mugs over the years, but never a Yeti. For hot drinks my favorite is Tervis Tumblers. For cold drinks my favorite is one I found when in the hospital 4 years ago after my bike crash. It’s made by a company called “Whirley”. Two years ago I finally broke the one I had been using and I was bummed. Then I found this one on Amazon. I bought 2. I haven’t opened the second one yet. 32 oz W.E. Insulated Cold Drink Hospital Mug with Red Lid - Water Essential Travel Mug https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01CN5D4TI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QWRWYS01X09PK4TBRMHT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 These keep cod drinks with ice cold for hours. A most excellent product at a reasonable price. They aren’t as tough as a stainless steel Yeti mug, but I don’t buy mugs to do battle. I just buy them to drink from.

DeaconKC Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 @Chili Ron go to Rural King, get their generic cup. I have one that has been dropped out of trucks, etc and it works great! It will keep coffee hot for hours and cold stuff cold til tomorrow! Costs like $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 We have a number of those type mugs, no Yetis. Most of them don't even know the maker. My usual one is a SIC. Really can't tell any of them work better than the rest. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I buy the Ozark Trail cups because I can go pick out what I want and they cost a third of the Yeti!! After Yeti made a big production of going anti-gun owner, I quit buying their products. Yeah! Wally World has caved to some of the anti-gun crap, but they STILL sell guns and ammunition at the stores in my area and the Ozark Trail stuff is in close proximity the gun stuff!!

Texas Joker Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 And harbor freight sells a vacuum mug. I stock the ozark trail 20 Oz for the kids and 32 Oz for the grownups. If you have little kids let em pick put a color and tell em itz theirs.. cuts down on the bickering.. Spend a couple extra dollars and get the handle ring very convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the story told in an “unbiased” fashion. https://www.thecoolerzone.com/yeti-coolers-nra-everything-need-know/ Yeti says they didn’t slight the NRA, but what’s that old line…you say tomato, I say tomahto? Sounds like they cut ties with the NRA to me… Regardless, I won’t buy their products because their prices are stupid high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yeti is a great gift to recieve. Yeti coolers cost more than a good, new tent. Not sure they work any better than a cooler at half the price. Same with Yeti tumblers... effective marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have a Thermos SS hot/cold mug that I have had for years. Keeps the liquid inside (hot or cold) at temp for many hours. Sure don't need a Yeti....way over priced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
