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!
