It's a $3.00 bucket with a $37.00 sticker.
In all honesty, they are waaaaay stronger than a normal 5 gallon bucket.

I saw Yeti dog bowls at a shop the other day.

just noticed the $300 20lb yeti chairs that dont fold up for crap in the top bar.. guess they must be selling like hotcakes to all those people whom weigh 500lbs, go out camping, and have a spare $1200 to spend on a set of 4.

Sadly...the same can be said about many, many other items out there. Yeti isn't the only company that panders to those who buy "status". The wife's grandmother use to work in a vegetable cannery. She always thought it was funny that one day they would slap a "name brand" label on the cans and the next day a "low budget" label on them - they were the exact same product. When I was in purchasing for a major retail company I got to tour various factories. It was amazing how a company would make the exact same product for different companies and just slap the names of the companies on them. Some of these items went to low budget stores while their twin went to a top shelf stores.

I can vouch for that. I had a friend in college that work in a canning plant during the summers. He said the only difference was what roll of labels they put in the machine that day.

Has to be the BEST statement/photo of Label priority social identification nonsense which pervades every hobby field.
I am not sure why you act surprised....Perceived Value has been one of the pillars of American capitalism for quite a while...

I think it's more along the lines of keeping up with the Joneses, or for the younger ones, the Kardashians. Why else would people go into serious debt for houses, vehicles and other "toys" they really can't afford; you know, living above one's means.

I don’t ever plan on owning that bucket. Kinda silly.
I do have to say though that yeti cups are my favorite. I’ve used/tried/tortured many cups and I go back to them without fail. Well worth the money to me anyway.
