Re: Austin based Yeti quits doing business with NRA
when i see yeti cups and coolers in literally EVERY store that sells ammo, it amkes me wonder how long it'll take for the yetis to slowly disappear form their shelves... i hope yeti goes under. i bought 2 ozark trails mugs from wal mart for $9 each and they work just as good as a yeti... paying $60 for a hot/cold mug has always boggled my mind... if people have that much money send some my way so i can buy ramen and vienna sausages so i can afford to eat this month lolChemist45 wrote:I have to confess that I am mystified.
Just what does Yeti think they are going to gain from this?
Are David Hogg's teenage twitter followers all going to go buy Yeti products now?
Yeti's flagship product is designed to keep a 12 pack of beer cold for a week.
Do they think Biff and Buffy need this on the yacht?
So they won't sell to me anymore? (I am the NRA!)
That's OK. RTIC makes the same products under a different name.
Its just like Dick's sporting goods.
Do they think the bicoastal liberals are going to start shopping there for tennis and golf items as a result?
Nope, they will continue to shop at exclusive high dollar stores.
It is amazing to me when companies like this continually misjudge their customer base.
I don't get it, but I will shop at Academy, Cabellas, Bass Pro and other stores that support me.

no offense taken. when i write letters (professional emails and what not) i use proper grammar. just chattin on a forum or on social media or something im a little less prone to wrote grammatically correct. but i can do it! just lazy.anygunanywhere wrote:Well, okay then.

Mac computers are hands down better than Windows machines. I bought my Mac in 2012 and it still works perfectly. If I still used windows machines I would have had to purchase 2 or 3 in the same time frame and gone through multiple releases of pitiful Microsoft software.

over priced cups. you can go to wal mart and get one for about $9. seen side by side tests on youtube. the $9 cup and the $60 cup keep ice cold about the same. guy placed 10 ice cubes in each cup and left them overnight. the results in each cup were pretty much the same. couldnt really tell a difference. Yeti is the iphone and macbooks of the cup industry... over priced and dont do anything better than other brands but people are mindless sheep and buy it becuase of the brand name lol
