My new son-in-law gave me and his groomsmen a 30oz Tumbler.  I'm thinking I might use the 20oz more. 

What do you have and how do you use it?

    I have the 20 and love it.  But I think I would prefer the 30. Holds more adult beverage....

    I have neither. But if I were to get get one it would definitely be the larger one. When it comes to cooking, eating and drinking, I truly believe bigger is better.

    I have both. I use the larger one more. Since it keeps it cold, I just want more beer in the cup!

    I have the large. Holds more, last longer. Have an occasional issue with fitting in some cup holders. Would definitely recommend the large.

    I have the 20oz and am a big fan.

    I do find myself refilling more often than I'd like though

    Bought the wife the 30.  By the time you load it up with ice, you need the room for the liquid.  It's not like the ice melts very fast, so with the smaller ones you could end up with a big chunk of ice pretty quick.  Of course I guess you could just put less ice in it.

    Damn nice gift either way. I have both, use both about the same, 30 oz is more convenient when in the vicinity of an unmanned tapped Keg!!!

    I use both, actually someone stole my 20 oz at work so I need to replace it. But I love both small for hot and large for cold usually

    Both. I use the 20 oz. for coffee and the 30 oz. for stronger, chilled drinks. I really like them both.

    I got the 30 for Christmas. Used it a few times, but it was just too big and heavy. I have several 20 oz tervis' that are more than adequate. My wife now uses it daily and loves it.

    I have the 30. Took it to work the other day and drank all liquid on the way to work. Left it in the car for 12 hours in 85F outside temp. When I got back in the car I still had slot of ice left in the cup. I couldn't believe it.

    I have about a half-glass of ice in my 20-oz at the end of the work day, and there's still ice the next morning, no freezer necessary (and that's without the lid).  
     
    I have the 20-oz because, like me, it's sleek and sexay.   B)

    I always have water with me so when we are out for hours running errands the 30 will usually last. I bring both with me to work everyday the 20 for coffee and the 30 for water. If I had to choose one its be the 30.

    Used to use a 20 Tervis but picked up that 30 and it stays all day and night. On a 6k trip now and each morning I toss out yesterday's ice and fill fresh. Get the 30.

    I have one of each. I usually use the 30 at home, and take the 20 to and from work. In the car, the 20 also seems to not get in the way as much as the 30 because its shorter, may not be an issue depending on your car.
