It’s weird how marketing works. I mean there’s definitely differences in quality between brands, but so often the difference doesn’t justify the cost. Bells and whistles don’t do much for me. Take a treadmill for example, the only two things I care about is, 1) does it feel like it’s built solid and will last, and 2) does it run smoothly and quietly. I don’t care how many “apps” I can download or what celebrity endorses it. As for something like the Yeti cooler, when it first came out I understood the appeal. It was built like truck and had a quality feel. The price was higher than other brands but not as high as they are now. Since then, Yeti raised prices. Today, with the knock-offs available I’ll never understand the $400 Yeti cooler when you can buy an $80 equivalent that feels pretty damn solid and keeps beer cold just as long.
