Just what does Yeti think they are going to gain from this?
Are David Hogg's teenage twitter followers all going to go buy Yeti products now?
Yeti's flagship product is designed to keep a 12 pack of beer cold for a week.
Do they think Biff and Buffy need this on the yacht?
So they won't sell to me anymore? (I am the NRA!)
That's OK. RTIC makes the same products under a different name.

Its just like Dick's sporting goods.
Do they think the bicoastal liberals are going to start shopping there for tennis and golf items as a result?
Nope, they will continue to shop at exclusive high dollar stores.
It is amazing to me when companies like this continually misjudge their customer base.
I don't get it, but I will shop at Academy, Cabellas, Bass Pro and other stores that support me.
when i see yeti cups and coolers in literally EVERY store that sells ammo, it amkes me wonder how long it'll take for the yetis to slowly disappear form their shelves... i hope yeti goes under. i bought 2 ozark trails mugs from wal mart for $9 each and they work just as good as a yeti... paying $60 for a hot/cold mug has always boggled my mind... if people have that much money send some my way so i can buy ramen and vienna sausages so i can afford to eat this month lol

Bad comparison.

Mac computers are hands down better than Windows machines. I bought my Mac in 2012 and it still works perfectly. If I still used windows machines I would have had to purchase 2 or 3 in the same time frame and gone through multiple releases of pitiful Microsoft software.

I am not a mindless sheep and all we own now are Apple products. Mrs anygunanywhere uses an iPad and is very happy. Careful with the labels.
personal preference. I won't get in a debate of which is better. I prefer compatibility over exclusivity. And I build my own computers. apple wont let you do that or replace or upgrade components. macs for me are no good for what i want them for which is why i prefer PC.. now as far as windows vs mac i think both windows and macOS are both garbage personally. i use linux. ubuntu kali and raspian mainly... like with mac vs PC what i need my computers for, mac OS and windows don't allow me to do. That said, in the most recent update Windows now has a BASH shell included so you can compile and test projects without having to switch back and forth between computers. and as for the sheep comment, ive seen countless videos (jimmy kimmel did a few) where they tell people that they have a brand new iphone X (about a week before it comes out) and he asks people what they like about it. and they say "oh man this is a huge improvement etc etc id buy it in a heartbeat etc etc... when in actuality what they;re holding is a 1st gen Iphone... yet they like the fact that the screen is smaller and they say the high definition screen is amazing (even tho the 1st gen iphone didnt have high def screens). I'm sure if they did that with android there'd be a few people who were uneducated enough that would do the same thing but when i worked for ATT when i asked people why they like their iphone their response was "well, its an iphone!" when i asked android users what THEY liked they said everything from free apps/music to open source to customization options. whereas all the iphone users could say was i like it cause its an iphone... I could go on and on in depth about the pros and cons of each company apple has good aspects as does windows as far as operating systems but when it coms to hardware, macs vs PCs PCs will always win for me hands down due to the fact that if somethingbreaks or i need to upgrade parts i dont have to go to an apple store and have a "certified apple tech" mess with it... lol. (that and i dont like spending $1500 for a rig with specs that i could build in a PC for less than $800)
Well, okay then. I didn't read your whole post. No offense intended, but punctuation and sentence structure actually have a purpose in writing.
no offense taken. when i write letters (professional emails and what not) i use proper grammar. just chattin on a forum or on social media or something im a little less prone to wrote grammatically correct. but i can do it! just lazy.

over priced cups. you can go to wal mart and get one for about $9. seen side by side tests on youtube. the $9 cup and the $60 cup keep ice cold about the same. guy placed 10 ice cubes in each cup and left them overnight. the results in each cup were pretty much the same. couldnt really tell a difference.
