Got my First Yeti...

Lit

I still use both of mine every day. I have a cabinet full of neglected tervis cups now.

Legume

I picked up a 32 as a gift and found a local (old school, not chain) jeweler that was willing to engrave it for ~$25.  Even though it makes it an expensive cup, the engraving charge was all setup, no per word or per letter charges and it turned out perfect - I was happy to find someone that was setup to do this on a curved surface after calling a bunch of trophy places.

I'm drinking a 30oz gin n tonic in mine right now. No need to keep it cool for long periods because it doesn't last that long, but on the upside there is no condensation ring.

SWMBO had the smaller version for her morning hot tea during her commute.

I like the pelican chests better.

I use mine daily for iced tea

My daughter bought me a Yeti Rambler for my birthday two weeks ago. Along with a stainless steel steel straw, that fits perfect through the slot.
The Yeti tumbler is way better than aTurvis tumbler.
In fact:
Yeti is to Turvis
Like
BGE is to Weber


The ice you see in the pic will easily last the night and long into tomorrow morning.

Where did you get that straw?

@hapster‌ -- not sure where she bought them. They came in a box of four, William Sonoma maybe?
I'll ask my daughter.

TigerTony

@hapster‌ -- my daughter says she bought the straws at World Market.

Thanks... I'll start searching

Now I gotta have one of those cups and possibly a straw. Man, y'all spend my money nearly as quickly as my wife.

All the cool kids have them )

Well. Ya'll have me looking for a 20 oz'er. Why? I'm not sure. 

My Rush Linbaugh Tervis keeps ice just fine, as I refill it every 20 minutes!

@nolaegghead

I know this is way offtopic for this thread, but WTH. What sort of retailer would stock Pelican chests? I want to pick one up, but I really want to look at them to see what size I really want. The interior dimensions vs exterior make me want to look at them in person. The dealer locator on their website leaves something to be desired.

Have both imo it does not shine with hot drinks. Usable yes but not great.
Also interested in the straw.

@DMW if you're asking who stocks, academy sports around here along with a couple of mom and pops.

DMW

@theyolksonyou Yes, I was asking who stocks. No Academy around here, will check with similar retailers.Thanks!

oddly enough, the mom and pops are pawn shops. Small town, I guess.

@DMW‌ costco carries them. Maybe Cabelas. You can buy them from lots of interwebs places. Next time you're at a BBQ fest or fishing rodeo, look around for them. They make most of the cases for the military and I think the latches, handles and hinges are better than Yeti. My opinion.

Legume

+1 on the Pelican.  Good friend has one, got it from Costco.  Holds ice better than anything I've seen.

DMW

Dang, the Pelican 65 is 3/4" too narrow internal dimension. I really wanted to be able to fit a full size hotel pan in there...

nolaegghead

That sucks!  I read 1/3 steam table pans fit in there perfectly.

Nothing beats a real cambro.

Does it sweat in hot temps? No not yer hand from anxiety that you beverage is running low....lol

Love my 20 oz. keeps ice all night long.

pescadorzih

I have (2) 30 oz. on order. Gasket on the Bubba Mug is leaking. Wife gave the OK to upgrade to the Yeti. Hope it lives up to the hype.

No

These cups are as advertised-they work great. I spoke to the Yeti guy at Roswell Hardware on Saturday and he was sporting a Yeti coozie. Apparently that's their next big thing and it's supposed to be out in the spring.

I use the small one for coffee every day. I made a cup at work one day and forgot about it for an hour and when I remembered it was still hot. Sometimes I go to take a sip after 10-20 minutes and its too hot to drink still. The straws are available on amazon for anyone looking I just ordered a pack for $8.

MrCookingNurse

I'm coming in late but my wife bought me one of those for fathers day I think. The 20 oz tumbler. It's amazing. I usually do coffee in it. I have to put two pieces of Ice in it when I pour my coffee in the morning or I'll never be able to drink it it keeps it so hot!! I've left it at work before and came back next day wth ice cubes still sitting in it too!

I wanted the smaller one just for space but I wouldn't complain if Santa brought me a bigger one.

Hope your doing good Hap!

Try preheating the Yeti with hot water...much better results for me.

With no way to completely seal these things up, how spill-proof are they?
