Regret blasting Yeti cooler? New one could be tax-free on weekend
That was the actual headline on this Statesman article until a few minutes ago, and is still what the Firefox tab shows.
Anyway:
1. I don’t regret blasting my Yeti cooler…since I don’t have one. I do have a nice Yeti tumbler that I have no intention of blasting, since it was a gift from my beloved and indulgent sister.
2. “a new one could be tax-free this weekend”. Well, actually, no. Unless you can find a Yeti for under $75. And if you’re looking at Yeti equivalents, you could get a new RTIC cooler. Or an ORCA (hatttip to Say Uncle). Or a Pelican.
3. As one of Uncle’s commenters points out, if you really want to hurt Yeti, don’t blow up your cooler: sell it, cheap. Every retail sale you take away from them hits them in the pocket.
4. And thanks to the Statesman for pointing out that this is a tax-free (on certain “emergency supplies”) weekend.
