In my opinion, the cups work better than the coolers. Using the lid is a must though. Ice last for 24 hours with the lid on. The Tervis cant hold a candle to the Yeti cups. I've had both, got rid of my Tervis cups. They are not insulated. Double walled doesn't mean insulated
Yeti stuff is expensive, but it's good stuff. Right now, the coolers are still a "special needs" item in my opinion ... they are VERY heavy, and pretty expensive too ... but if you are on a boat, or in a location where you don't have access to more ice, you need your ice to stay frozen as long as you possibly can - and that's where the Yeti coolers rule the world.
I may go ahead and get one of the cups they have out now to "supplement" my Tervis cups. If it impresses as much as I think it will, I'll still hold off a while to see if they make any upgrades to the lids so that you can actually seal the cup shut (to stop spillage and/or keep the unit even more insulated). Hopefully they are already working on this ... it's hard for me to imagine that they plan on just keeping that little clear plastic, single-ply lid when the rest of the cup is so "robust" in comparison.

Technically they ARE insulated - but with an air barrier, not some other common form of insulation. However, your point is well made, and supports what I said in an earlier post.

The Yeti cup has a better "cool" factor (no pun intended) ... and may very well be worth getting at least one to play with for now - which I'm pretty sure I'll do.

We are on the same page. The only reason I haven't bought a Yeti cup yet is because I have a whole arsenal of Tervis tumblers/lids/straws ... and for what I need them for, they work fine.

A 2 gallon whiskey and coke? That's not too uncommon here in Wisconsin.
