first they bought a Yeti, no doubt so they can have the sticker on their truck

then they decide to destroy said Yeti because Yeti has dropped the NRA Discount.

These poor little snowflakes

Funnier still is that Yeti just changed their discount program and didn’t actually drop it, but they are so quick to believe everything they read in the garbage blogosphere.

Saw a lot of people on twitter claiming that this was going to kill Yeti's business because apparently only conservatives use coolers.

The only thing more insane than spending $400 on a cooler is over-reacting to fake news and literally destroying that 'redneck Gucci' (as a friend calls Yetis)...

I had this conversation with a friend of mine who was furious over Yetigate. He was so mad, but I reminded him about our conversation about that Hogg kid from Parkland starting a boycott over Laura Inghram poking fun at him. He declined to see the parallel.

When Delta dropped the NRA discount, everyone went nuts and said they'd never fly them again. But Delta said they had something like a dozen people use it in the past year. So clearly the discount wasn't luring a lot of people to begin with.

If Yeti was smart, they’d let something like this happen every six months to a year. Let the angry folk blow up their coolers, then watch them flock back for an upgraded model once they forget what they were so mad about.

Not all yeti owners purchased them (my 2 coolers and travel mug were gifted). Not all yeti owners belong to NRA. Not all NRA members own yetis. Not all yeti owners have their pickups plastered with yeti (or any other) stickers.

Something something broad brush something.

Having said that, my first thought was this is pretty stupid behavior quickly followed by my second thought being yeti should pull something like this occasionally to boost sales.

Never could understand the infatuation some people have with Yeti coolers. Totally overpriced IMHO.

I got a Yeti mug for Christmas 2 years ago (with a Bama logo on it). Several days prior, a patient of mine gave me the identical generic mug from Walmart (ozark trail or something like that) as a gift. The generic cost $10 and the Yeti over $40 (probably more than that with the logo on it). I did a side by side comparison on how long they would keep ice and they performed identical. The generic actually had a better lid than the Yeti. I always said I’d never buy into the Yeti craze because I thought it was crazy to have a cooler that you had to worry more about getting stolen empty, than filled with the finest of craft beer! They prove that you could pick up dog crap in the yard and put a $10 price tag on it and people would buy it because they think that is much better dog crap than what is lying around...

As far as the Yeti stickers go, to me that screams to a thief “ here’s a quick flip at the pawn shop to score a gram of your drug of choice”!

The only corporation or business or whatever you want to call it, that I buy apparel or stickers to advertise for is the Crimson Tide! Everything else I go to great lengths to avoid giving free advertising to.(I even remove the car dealers sticker on any used or new car I buy) There is no way in hell I would pay to buy a shirt with a company logo on it that I didn’t get something in return. This goes back to the first street rod I built in my teens. A mentor of mine that taught me how to rebuild engines and all the little nuances of getting every little bit of power from them set me straight on that years ago. As a kid I was wanting to put all these performance product stickers on my car . He asked me...”did that company give you that carb, intake, pistons, etc..? if they ain’t sponsoring you, why are you giving them free advertising?” After thinking about it, I see where he was coming from.

There are too many cheaper copies of the (IMHO) over priced Yeti coolers, that probably perform just as well as my above mention mug comparison, for me ever to spend my own money on buying one.

And to reel it back to the OP...blowing up a $300-$1000+ cooler because you erroneously think they are colluding against the NRA (which I started calling the NRCBFMA national rifle constantly begging for money association......years ago), begs to hope that you misjudge the amount of tannerite you used to blow it up so maybe the gene pool of future generations can be spared!

Their prices are ridiculous. I needed a cup that kept my tea cold while at school, so I went to academy. The Magellan brand cups were $7.99, so I got 3 for less than what 1 yeti would have cost me.

and No way I’m spending that much money on a cooler. They’re heavy as well. I couldn’t carry one if I had it loaded with drinks and ice anyway.
