    So, Yeti only invented boat coolers?
    They didn't invent jack crap.

    My apologies for trolling brother. At your request I will remove all of the above from your thread.

    I don't know who made the very first vertical cabinet. However Backwoods did invent the first reverse flow vertical cabinet. Most say that Spicewine made the first cabinets available to the public. However they were not reverse flow. Backwoods no doubt gets credit for that.

    1. The cooler/portable ice chest is credited to being invented by Richard C. Laramy. Not Yeti nor anyone with even remotely associated with Yeti.

    2. Original patent issued on a cooler/portable ice chest was granted to Richard C. Laramy from Joliet, Illinois on 12-22-1951. Again, not Yeti.

    3. In 1957 The Coleman Company introduced the first all plastic cooler. Again, not Yeti.

    4. The first condensation polymer, polyester was produced by Jons Berzelius in 1847. Again, long before Yeti even existed.

    5. Alexander Parkes created the first made-made plastic in 1861. Again, not Yeti.

    6. John and Wesley Hyatt (brothers) patented the first injection moulding  machine in 1872. Again, not Yeti.

    7. Arthur Eichengrun developed the first injection molding press in 1919. He also patented the molding of plasticized cellulose acetate. Again, not Yeti.

    8. Polyethylene was first synthessized by Hans von Pechmann in 1898. Again, not Yeti.

    9. Vacume flasks/ cups was invented by Sir James Dewar in 1892. My God people, was Yeti actually first at anything? 

    10. Drinking cups were invented before recorded history. They can be traced back to the cavemen days. Yet some fools (Yetitards) believe that Yeti actually invented them. Go figure.

    11. Leon Guillet is credited with first creating the alloy that we call today stainless steel. Again, not Yeti. Anyone seeing a trend here? 

    12. Otto Bayer made the first polyurethane in 1937. Again people, not Yeti. 

    13. Their own name "Yeti". They didn't even invent this name. It is a rip off from the mythical creature said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Aka: The Abominable Snowman. Do I even need to say it?

    14. Here is one that everyone should love as there is something that should really jump out at you: The "Engel Process" was developed in the 1960's. The "Engel Process" allows for large hollow containers (coolers & cases) to be created in low-density polyethylene. Sounds to me that if anyone got "robbed" or copied it was Engel. Yet again, not Yeti. 

     If you missed it above, let me point it out to you. Engel is a brand name of rotomolded coolers as well. The name of the coolers is derived from the very process from which they are made from "The Engel Process", not the Yeti Process. From this alone we can see that Yeti is certainly not the creator of anything or it would be called the Yeti process, which it clearly is not. Yeti is a direct copy of the process, the raw material, the idea, the product, the invention and the patent. Yeti was not the first at anything. At best you could argue that they were around 20th at only one of the above. And that's actually giving them far more credit than they really deserve. So when they say that someone is stealing or copying their idea, a little research into history and the facts clearly prove that they are wrong. All the things I listed above are absolute fact. Anyone can look them up for themselves and I actually encourage you to do so. This is where Yeti gets you though, they figure that if you are stupid enough to pay the outrageous price for their products, then chances are that you are also stupid enough to just take their word when they say that they created all of the above and everyone is stealing from them. I understand brand loyalty, I really do. But brand loyalty and ingnorance of the facts are two different things all together. Read the facts above and decide for yourself if RTIC is really copying Yeti or is RTIC copying what Yeti has already copied themselves from hundreds of other inventors. And did RTIC really copy Yeti? I think not. Copy means to duplicate. RTIC did not duplicate Yeti. From what I see the lids and bottoms are much thicker than Yetis. The walls are even thicker. This is not duplicating or copying. This is improving over a obsolete design. At the end of the day, no matter how big of a fool Yeti has made out of you already, you can't be foolish enough to really believe that Yeti really invented any of the following:
    cups (of any kind)
    coolers (of any kind)
    rotomolded coolers
    rotational and injection molding 
    polyethylene powder
    polypropylene powder 
    polyurethane foam
    stainless steel
    vacume insulation method
    vacume process

    Most of the things on the list above has existed for at least a half century before Yeti, some of them for well over a century longer. So how in the heck can anyone really be copying Yeti? Get real people. So the next time you hear some idiot (Yetitard) touting that Yeti was first at anything, simply direct them to list above. Clearly they were the first at nothing except suckering gullible people out of their money. Their very name is not even original. They took it from a poor ole snowman who can't even defend himself. Kind of sad when you really think about it. 
    For the record I'm bored and just trolling. Just poking at the Yeti fanboys because like liberals, they are such easy targets just waiting to be had. However the list I made above (1-14) is 100% accurate. I posted it to dispel the myth that Yeti created anything even remotely related to coolers because in fact, they created nothing. They copied everything from coolers to cups. Even their name is a copy. I challenge anyone to prove any of it wrong. Hey before I sign off I know that most of you are aware that I have been working on a theme song for RTIC, I have previously posted the first 3 verses. Would y'all care to hear verse 4? I have it complete if anyone would like to hear it just let me know:o

    And we still have around 20+ hours (EST) to keep this thread floating until the Friday night festivities kick-in.  Go forth and do great things til then.  And who knows after that...Be cool, regardless of the attraction of some Pulp Fiction divergence.

    Lmao....who cares if they copied Yeti.  I get it, y'all are butt hurt that y'all paid big money for a Yeti and some obnoxious company is selling a inferior/equivalent/superior product for half the price.  Yeti isn't publicly traded, so you guys aren't affected in the slightest. If anything, Yeti might lower their prices, because it's clear they are grossly marked up.  When did y'all get so fvcking sensitive?
    Not that at all.  In fact, I get it all you YETI wannabes purchasing a knockoff and wanting affirmation it's as good as the original..

    I can afford a YETI, but at the end of the day...it's a damn ice chest and could never see myself dropping that much coin on one. I didn't get the RTIC hoping it would be better than a YETI, I got it hoping it would be better than my Coleman and Igloo.  It is, so anything after that is a bonus.

    Haha...do some research bud...your pit is incredibly inferior...not the same.

    You really have been crying for about 16 pages and in the other RTIC threads.  Very clear that this thread has your vagina nice and moist.

    I've got nothing to add here except to say thank you. I've had a really crappy day and tomorrow will be worse as I have to fire someone I really don't want to fire.

    This thread and this forum is awesome as y'all go whole hearted with these really important topics.

    Promised shipping dates do seem to correspond to order dates.  My shipping date for a tan 45 ordered 8/19 got moved from 12/2 to 1/1
    What I don't really understand is why additional orders after mine was placed would affect my ship date, other than I ordered tan and apparently that means I get to wait longer...
