If you guys remember - we had a pretty lengthy discussion on these Yeti cups knockoffs at Wal Mart with the Ozark Trails label
The day of the discussion I went there to see if my local had any left and I guess word had got out on them, so similar to the 22lr, you couldn't find them or order them online. I never mentioned it to my wife that I stopped off to buy one, but she does have a Yeti tumbler she bought off Amazon.
So last week my wife visits family in Texas and they tell her about them and she wants to go to Wal-Mart today to pick one up.
I didn't realize that is what she wanted until we get there, but to my surprise they had dozens of the 30oz tumblers for $9.97.
She told me Wal-Mart put a new "skin" on them and can now sell them.
I didn't see any of the 20oz tumblers.
She got a kick out of me telling her about the ice melt test documented by someone on here.

I bought 3 of them in Alaska 3 weeks ago as well kept ice for several hours. I got the 20oz ones and paid 8 bucks for them.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I bought two 20 oz Ozark tumblers yesterday as a gift, you just have to be persistent check the shelves and grab them when they are in stock, this was my third time checking for them.

I bought two of the 20 oz ones here in OKC about a month ago, used WM's website to find out where they were in stock, they were at several stores across the metro. As said they were $7.99. I've been using them every day since, pretty happy with them. Mine look just like a Yeti except for the Ozark Trail logo.

Got a couple a few weeks ago. Both sizes. The rubber seal on the lid occationally rolls out of place but otherwise I'm happy. Can't compare it to a Yeti though. Never used one and for the price unlikely I ever will.

You can go to the WM website and set it up for email notifications when they're in stock at your local store. I picked up a bunch to keep around as last minute gifts. Watched a fellow pay $400 for a yeti soft cooler last weekend, Yeti's prices are a joke. I'm quite happy with my little Igloo @ $100. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/20-qt-sportsman/prod15440080.ip

I was in Big Bear last week and they had their own brand of Yeti stacked next to the Yetis.
Much cheaper. Exact same cup.
I think the jig is up for Yeti.

Like KFWA, I had heard of these, but not seen any locally. Heck , I had not seen any at the 20 or so Walmarts in Florida, GA or AL, I stopped at. Two weeks ago, in Wytheville VA, I stopped in to pick up some bug spray. There in the camping good area, were flat after flat of the dang things. I snagged two 30 ounce and two 20 ounce mugs. $9.79 and $7.79. In the few tests I have run, they perform exactly like the Yeti product that I paid $39.95 and $29.95 for. Other than the Ozark Train logo stamped on the mugs and plastic lids, they are identical. I ran into MagMarc at the Starbucks for coffee, in Wytheville, and gave him one of the 20 ounce mugs. I kept the other. Wife got one of the 30 oz mugs, I kept the other.

RTIC is Yeti's economy line.

Bought two of the Wally World 30oz a while back. have no complaints. So far no one has made a snide remark or criticized me on the boat dock, so they must look like the real thing.

Sitting in the cup holder between the front seats inside a hot car with the windows rolled all but about a 1/4" closed my Ozark Trail 30 oz tumbler still has some ice cubes left after 4-5 hours. The water stays good and cold for a long time after the ice has all melted. Started with about 1/3 ice cubes and 2/3 water.
Yesterday I saw a promotional display set up in the middle of the floor at a convenience store stocked with yet another brand name I've never heard of before but are exact physical copies of the Yeti and Ozark Trail 20 and 30 oz tumblers, Only difference I could see was the brand logo.

Got my wife a 20 oz WM a moth or so ago. She said it outlasts the plastic travels mugs by 100%. She bought me a Ozark 30 oz, but I did not use it yet because I forgot about it. I better use it.....
