Yeti that is. Haven't had a chance to test it out yet. Picked it two between Luling and Gonzales. In Corpus now for the weekend. Will test it and report back. Not 100% identical. Rtic is a bit taller, different cut out on the lid to drink from.

    I prefer the RTIC cut out in the lid.  You can fit a straw through it.

    I use Whataburger (orange ones) straws in my Yeti just fine. They fit.

    I have a bunch of thick hard straws from other cups I have since lost.  I might need to stop by a Whataburger.

    I10 and 183.

    There are a few notable differences when you put it right next to a Yeti. The Rtic is a maybe .5 to a 1 cm taller, width seems the same, and where they angle outwards is a bit different. So not exactly the same with a different logo, but damn close. So far we're really happy with them. Haven't done any side by side comparisons with ice, but I still have ice in mine when I wake up in the morning, so I'm happy.

    i'll happily eat food that's fallen on the ground, but reusable drinking straws creep me out.  I guess you could clean them by sucking scotch through them?
