Yeti / brute / bison cooler science fair project

[bullhead44]

My daughter needs an 8th grade science fair project. Somewhat jokingly, I brought up the which cooler holds ice the best. She has decided to go with it. I have a yeti 65 and a couple of other cheaper type coolers. This is where the green screen comes in. I would like to borrow a brute or bison or pelican cooler for her to do this experiment with. I thought this might also help settle the argument that has often come up on here. If anyone knows anyone with bison cookers, I'm sure she would gladly use one from then since they are a sponser. I know this may sound kind strange but I promise it's not a scam. Feel free to message if you might be able to help. We are 30 minutes north of Denton. Thanks in advance for anyone's help

I've got a 1998 Igloo with a crushed corner, broken hinge, broken latch, and moldy insides....can I play?

[bullhead44]

Sure. As long as you will deliver it

You could also do it for an economics project. Add dry ice to your igloo and see how many times you would have to use it to pay for the price difference.

I actually want a high end cooler but only for their durability. The ice retention doesn't come in to play for me. We have an ice machine at the ranch

The durability is why I have one.

this is the only reason I have a yeti. you can argue ice retention between coolers all you want, but when it comes to durability, cheap coolers aren't close.

I have a 45 quart pelican

Ok. Thanks for the input on durability. But the thread is about a science fair project for an 8th grader. She's not gonna beat the hell out of to see which is tougher. Just put some ice in it to see how long it lasts. l I know it's a long shot, but figured I'd give it a try

I know you already have a yeti, but I have a 35 yeti if it is more comparable in size to others, she is welcome to borrow it.

Cool science project

Well I have two girls, much younger, but if you took video of her beating the crap out of it with a bat, tire iron, backpack full of rocks, throwing it out the window of a moving car, etc. She may be able to figure out the science of it and scare the heck out of the boys from wanting to date her. That's a win win if you ask me.

If you were around Austin I would gladly let her borrow my brute! Bump for you. I'll be following

If there is any chance we could borrow it for about a week it would've greatly appreciated. I think I have your nber from a previous message. Thanks

Since this involves your daughter it MAY be the most civil cooler thread ever on TBH I bet Bison would donate one for the cause. Tell her to keep all the variables the same to keep the cooler "homers" from getting their pants in a wad I think it would be great to have one criteria consist of coolers left in the garage with lids closed for a couple of days before filling them up with ice (since that is the most realistic situation). Not to get too detailed but is her teacher good with her comparing different coolers and then stating which foam insulation (if known) is best or is she going to only get to test one cooler under different circumstances? for example her hypothesis is that cooler "A' will keep ice longer if left indoors for two days versus a garage for two days?

Cool science project

Might try if no other brands are available. Size might make a difference. Hav a friend who works I'm McKinney everyday. Might message you later. Thank you sir

My wife was a science teacher before she started coaching in college. So we have already heard all about different variables etc. it should be a good experiment if we can get several different coolers
