Yeti cups will outlive us all. Our great grandchildren will bash zombies skulls in with them and their drink will still remain the same temperature

A buddy of mine had one with ice water in his beater truck when the truck caught fire. The whole interior burned up and the lid melted a good bit, but he put the cup in a dishwasher and got a new lid. It looked brand new after.

I was really expecting you to say that the drink was still cold.

I know, I have heard those stories too. The ice did melt though, and most of the water evaporated. The lid was basically molten plastic and most of it dropped into the water and was still there when he got it back.

You don’t have to spend a bunch of money on a yeti cup, get the same thing at Walmart for $6

The big thing for me with yeti vs off brand is the seals.

I went with off brand stuff for a few years and the results were always awful. Not the actual metal container themselves but the seals . Most of them you can’t even take off and clean properly , so after a few months they’re disgusting or if you take the seals off you can’t get them back on. Yeti’s make that way easier. I’ll never use another brand , so long as the quality holds up.

Well not from my experience. I’ve tested them side by side with ice over night. I didn’t engrave anything though. Not sure why I would need a cup engraved with anything?

Companies get them engraved often for employees. Engraving of those style of cups are incredibly common and don’t effect the integrity it’s all laser etching.
