I think I’d vote to acquit. Obviously they were just recovering sacred articles that had been stolen from their tribal band of yetis.

[Gamecock]

And hot things hot.

But how do it know?

I got one as a gift and love it!

[perfect_rovian_storm]

They are absurdly overpriced whether you’re a boater, a snake charmer, or a snowmobiler.

And the cups in particular are no different than the $8 Ozark Trail tumbler from Walmart. Literally from the same Chinese factory.

[mdittmar]

LOL!

[mdittmar]

I love that joke.

[bar sin·is·ter]

Two sasquatches stealing yeti cups.... isn’t that cultural misappropriation?

[acapesket]

No defending them... just complimenting them on a fabulous marketing plan that has made them millions.
Did I say I own any? No.
Did I say that I was going to buy my Grad the cooler? No.

They have a very successful business model which I admire.

[fulltlt]

You can buy the Ozark brand knock off from Wal-Mart for around $8. Does the same thing.

[Atticus]

I agree! I have 30-40 year old Stanley thermoses and Coleman coolers that work amazingly well. I’ll bet hospitals do not even use fancy Yeti coolers for delivering human organs for transplanting.

[luv2ski]

They do indeed keep your beverage hot or cold depending on what the temperature of it was when you poured it in there. My daughter has one she got at a conference and left it at my house. I had a great time using it to take my coffee to church until she realized that was where she had left it! haha

There is a real black market business in the coolers b/c they are quite expensive- like $400-500. People steal them out of the back of pick up trucks and boats.

[rfp1234]

Yeah, how can a Yeti play hockey with his genitalia unprotected?

[righttackle44]

Yeti cup. Oh! Yet CUP. I thought they were football bowl trophies or something.

[OldSmaj]

I just had to look.

Now...I'm blind from the bleach and I don't know if there is enough Pepto in the house to keep me from puking my guts out.

Them two look like Yetis...and I ain't talking about a damned cup.

Moochelle's sisters?

[moovova]

She shunta done it.

[Seaplaner]

Two woman accused of stealing 44 Yeti cups over multiple days from a local hardware store were arrested Tuesday. Shunta Burnham and Jennifer Waffer were booked on charges of felony theft

Whoa.

They must really, really love coffee.

[moovova]

Another vote for the Ozark Trail. They have some nice stemless wine cups.

[Fightin Whitey]

haha...that was a good one!

Worst of it is she probably isn’t done Yeti!

[Not gonna take it anymore]

They needed inventory for their new business

[Rebelbase]

I Yeti-hacked an igloo cooler with some reflecive RV windshield shade material and a piece of foam board. It’ll keep ice for 4 days in the summer.

[tomkat]

I don't doubt it.
My late dad's fifty year old metal Coleman still does as good a job as I'll ever have need for.
But hey, if folks wanna spend $500 for an ice chest, I guess that's their business.

(but just like with my old (paid for) truck - bet theirs gets stolen before mine does ;-)
