Hopefully all the coolers were stored in the same condition before the test, one thing people do not realize is that those types of coolers also store heat pretty well. There were some customers that were storing their Yeti's in the garage where it can be well over 100+ in the garage and complained about their ice melting much quicker than what we experience. We'll typically tell people that the best thing to do for the best results is to bring the cooler into the home the day before if it's cooler than the garage and if possible load it up with ice the night before to pre-cool than dump it out before putting the ice that they are using in. That technique should work for similar coolers as well YMMV

My wife has a little side hustle decorating the stainless tumblers with vinyl designs and paint/epoxy. I've gotten funny looks buying 20 ozark trail mugs at a time at Walmart.
Re: performance of the tumblers, they are all
Impressive at how well they work, but the utility of a cup that holds ice for 24hr+ is much less important than its ice chest counterpart. If you need to go 24 hours on one cup of water you're going to want that ice to melt so you can drink it.

I will prolly get an Ozark Trail one sooner or later. I don't get putting a Yeti cooler sticker on your truck. #LebowskiThoughts

I could not justify the YETI so I went with RTIC. So far so good.
I've got one of those tumblers that I use for taking coffee to work. I've found if I rinse it out with a bit of near-boiling water, fill it up with that water, then dump it out when the coffee's ready, that the tumble will keep the coffee hot for a few hours.
(I heat up a pint of water in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave. Works pisser.)
Mox nix zu mir.
We have the "hot water tap" at work (for making tea or stuff, piped straight out of the industrial coffee pot) and i always rinse my cups in it before adding coffee. Yeti-type or regular mug, it helps to have some heat that the cup doesn't have to suck out of the coffee.

Can somebody explain the recent fascination / craze about coolers? Ice is so cheap to buy or make that I don't get what's wrong with the old $15 ones you could buy at Wal-Mart. (Maybe you still can, but my old $15 one keeps doing it's thing, 20 years later, so why change?). Yet now it seems like everybody I know is spending hundreds of bucks on coolers. I truly Do Not Understand What Is Going On. Is it global warming? Or just another First World "problem?"
