RTIC v YETI law suit settlement

Anyone in TX still looking for a 65 - Bucees has them at most locations for 30% off (all coolers - hard and soft side). No sales on the drink ware yet, but those are cheap enough already.Formerly of Houston, TX - Now Located in Bastrop, TX

If RTIC diversified into making injectable epinephrine, for a much lower price, I doubt you or many others would think they were scumbags.
Besides, coolers in the context of outdoorsmen and folks who like to cook are hardly life saving devices. Tone down the angst.
You're a scumbag too then, if you've ever taken any generic medication. And yes, there is usually a considerable price difference between generic and non-generic meds.
A better pharmaceutical analogy would be that you are buying a black market substitute drug in lieu of a brand new drug released last year.
I'm not sure why I care so much about someone being so butt- hurt over a cooler company, so this is my last post. You're welcome to have the last word. -

The choosing sides shjt is funny. Maybe coolers are a surrogate for politics.
I wanted a yeti or pelican for along time. Love the pelicans, except the weight. I won't pay those prices, so no cool cooler for me. I finally bought a couple of RTICs. Maybe they ripped off a bit, but that's for the lawyers and courts. RTIC wasn't exactly sneaking around selling them out of the trunk of a car in a parking lot. I paid less than half of a yeti and I sleep fine with that decision. To me, Yeti is overpriced. They're defending their right to overcharge and that's their prerogative.
I have friends with Yetis, I have no problem putting my beer in their coolers and they don't have a problem using my RTIC. Think of the beer, it's about cold beer. Can't we all just get along for the sake of cold beer?! -

Seems that Yeti is the scumbags of this. They are way over charging people for a product that is being sold for way far less and still having a profit made by RTIC. I took advantage and bought a reasonable priced soft sided cooler.

I am seeing stuff on here about a Yeti 5 billion dollar IPO...
Yeti shares will plummet. IMO there is not a way to grow and create profits every quarter. Yeti coolers are like BGE's, its a click of people that buy these things. Unless they can get medical contracts, but I would believe medical companies have their own way to transport critical items. At the end of the day, how many high dollar coolers does the AVERAGE household want/need to purchase.Have:

Doesn't mean their products aren't great. Just the stock is not as well made as their coolers. Also, did you know that Coolers and Equipment are only 35% of their total sales? That means they are making the bulk of their loot on what they consider Drinkware and Other.
Just my two cents, I look at this kind of crap all day long at my gig so thought I would chime in.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA -
Yeti isn’t all about coolers anymore. They are a brand. They market themselves as a brand just as much as coolers. Just like BGE there are competitors out there doing the same thing, but you’re ultimately choosing a brand name and image. Rtic has proven that the margins in this business are very vast. The only way to keep from commoditizing yourself and getting in to a pricing war is to separate yourself from the others as a brand. A brand/image that people are willing to pay more to be a part of.
The IPO is a brilliant business move as it allows them to profit and cash in on their growth without having to sell the business outright.

Plus creating a brand can be a fickle thing if that brand falls out of favor.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA -
Is there some reason Yeti can't go after another company like Bison? What would make Bison different than RTIC?Indianapolis, IN

Maybe to run the low-baller out of town?

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

Bison Coolers of Ft Worth TX had to go through a name change a while back in February of 2015. They were named "Brute".
Some have said it was an Issue for Rubbermaid and the Brute Line of trash cans.
Or maybe they did not won't to be linked to trash cans.
