What's inside a Yeti Cup?

Is the YETI cup worth the money?!?! We HEAT tested to find out, then we CUT it in HALF to see the inside!!!

This is episode 3rd episode of “MUG WEEK”

Amazon Links to products we tested:

This was a great experiment that convinced us that the YETI is worth the money for keeping drinks the temperature they were meant to be. This was an independent review and we were not sponsored by any companies for this video.

I bought an RTIC cup, and it works very well in my car. Ice cold drinks all day long. The lid hasn't melted yet, maybe it hasn't got to 325 in my car yet. If your car gets to 325 inside, better get the Yeti.

[calumryan]

putting a plastic mug full of water into your oven is probably the dumbest thing ive seen done by accident on youtube.

[andyjones]

Suggestions for others to try: put cups in 100 degree oven instead of 325. The artic cup may be as good (or better) than the Yeti if you tend to use your cup in climates below the melting point of plastic, as 100% of the human population does.
Tbe sound of air when the seal was cut was air rushing IN, not out. There's a vacuum in between the 2 layers to prevent thermal conductivity. Since the bottom is in direct contact with a solid, it conducts the most heat. That's why the gap is larger there. Great job fellas!

This is the most upper middle class thing I've ever seen.

[charliespann]

When it gets around 325 degrees outside I usually go inside to the air condition.

[brianfisher]

Why would you test these cups by putting them in the oven? Probably the most non scientific test I've seen.

[trdtooster]

Maybe 100 deg for 4 hours might be a more realistic experiment?

[pamerard]

You put plastic in the oven????
Where is Mom?

[MrMZaccone]

No, no gas came out of it. Gas (air) went into it. The vacuum normally contained between those layers you found halts two of the three ways in which heat can be transferred, namely conduction and convection. This leaves only radiation, the least efficient of the three to move heat into or out of the cup. This is why it keeps stuff the same temperature.

there was a case were a highway trucker got into an accident and the truck burnt down and in the middle of that the fire fighters were able to salvage a YETI cup still cold with all the ice still there unharmed.



crazy

[mcbnascarlsg]

this person that made the yeti design left the yeti company and the owner didn't follow up on its patents so he made RTIC which is actually supposed to be better and cheaper

[gojaimo]

The oven test is idiotic. "Yeti is better because the lid didn't warp at 325 degrees". Thanks for the real world test. If it's ever 325 outside, I hope I'm not thinking "damn I wish I had s yeti..."

[thastinger]

"Don't do this at home"...conducts test in his kitchen

[CV_CA]

07:02 Suspect there was NO air in it, the hissing noise was air rushing in.

[sumgt]

Plastic melts when you put it in the oven, wow this guy is smart

[Templemain]

Love to see a Dad and son together, rehearsed or not. Nice young man. However, in the real world is the stuff stays so cool because the area between the layers inside the container is a VACUUM. You need molecules of some sort (air) to transfer heat. Perhaps Dad should be teaching his son science instead of destruction. Nice vid though.

Lincoln's face when he got burnt was priceless

[mikieson]

not sure whats up with the hateful comments..man..people have to complain and show their arssses no matter what..get a life. Father and son time..PRICELESS..

[mamag]

He doesn't look like he does much work with his hands 😂

[joelhassig]

The RTIC isn't a knock-off. It's the exact same thing as the Yeti. They're made in the same factory.
