A great Yeti product

If it's a rather permanent product that works well... $35 is nothing. You'd piss that kind of bucks away on temporary crap that you'll never see again anyways.

I spend $10 on them with no issue. I think I paid $15 for Dunkin' Donuts insulated mug that gives me a discount on coffee. I just can't ever remember to bring it with me. :)

I'd love to have a Yeti cooler, but am not willing to spend that much on something which won't get used very often. That being said, I came across a Yeti 30 oz insulated drink cup, and it's an excellent product. I usually stop and buy a soda in the morning and keep it in my car all day to sip on, as I'm driving around to see my home patients. Yesterday afternoon, I had to go see a patient at around 3pm. On the way, I stopped to get a soda, and when I arrived home, I brought my drink in. It sat on the kitchen counter overnight, and this afternoon, it was still half full of ice. That's the most impressive I've ever seen for keeping a cold drink cold. I highly recommend it.

Does it keep drinks hot, too?

BTW, it would be more impressive to know the outside temperature, when the cup keeps your ice still in ice formation. It's very impressive, if you leave it in the car, where it gets 120 degrees. Not so impressive if the air around it is 65 degrees.

I see no reason why it shouldn't keep things hot. Insulation works both ways.

No, insulated cups don't work both ways. Sometimes the heat interferes with the insulation effect. It depends.

I have a big cup with top for cold drinks. It doesn't work that well for keeping things cold, but it's all right. It doesn't keep things hot at all. It's made of some sort of plastic, so maybe that's why.

As a frugal person (not to be confused with cheap), I'd never spend $35 on a cup. The reason is....although it might last for many years before it gets broken or lost, it's not a "need." It's a "want." I have no particular need for a better insulated cup for cold drinks. I could use one, I suppose. But I haven't been scouring the stores looking for one, because it's not a big deal if my ice melts.

But if I carry around cold drinks daily, and I'm finicky about temperatures of drinks, I might buy it.

That's been outlawed, I believe. Lead in food/drink containers. And asbestos.
