I love scrolling through FB, including the sometimes bogus ads.  Today was a new low; there are numerous ( I stopped counting at 6) glossy ads for Yeti coolers: 4 coolers for $69-$89.  For those who don't know, Yeti coolers go for several hundred dollars each.  Talk about click bait!

I noticed a week or 10 days ago there were at least 4-5 companies of different names selling the exact same huge, over-done door wreaths, all "closing their shop", and all promising delivery in up to 6 weeks.  That shop must be in some remote province in China.  The price was $34.99

 

I'd love to know if anyone ever gets these and what they look like.

I didn't know what they were!  I googled them and there is a direct company there called Yeti and you're right about the price.  I need to get out more!

When my husband got a Yeti cooler as part of a golf outing gift, everyone kept saying how expensive they were and how nice they were. 

 

So when he started coming home with the cups with different vendor's names/logos, I was thrilled.  Till I realized they were made in China. 

 

Name doesn't mean anything to me now.  Big zero.

@goldensrbest : I definitely know and appreciate what Yeti is; we own 2 Yeti tumblers, 3 Yeti ice and several "faux" Yeti coolers ( other brands that do same thing at 1/3-1/2 Yeti price).
