| The 30-ounce Yeti Rambler is my preferred drinking vessel for water.
 Shopping Advice From the Epicurious Test Kitchen  This Very Big, Very Ugly Cup Keeps Me Hydrated  I came of age in a crucial moment in American history. Between the invention of the 7-Eleven Big Gulp in the 1980s and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's banning of sodas over 16 ounces in 2013, I was born in Texas and raised in Kansas, where I learned crucial midwestern values, like the importance of routinely ingesting 40 ounces of Diet Cranberry Limeade at Sonic Happy Hour.
I haven't seen the bottom of a Big Gulp since 2010. So I thought I didn't need any large vessels for consuming liquids. Then, in 2019, as an office gift from the marketing department, my colleagues and I received 30-ounce Yeti Ramblers.
The dormant inner Texan within me awoke. Standing around seven inches tall and three inches wide, the Rambler was hideous, sure. It weighed a full pound. It had neither the sleek silhouette of a S'well bottle nor the wide-eyed, youthful turtle-saving promise of a HydroFlask.
You may refill the Yeti several times during your workday, but you'll never need to replace the ice cubes, because the miraculous cup keeps them cold all day. Sometimes, when we used to actually go to the office, I'd leave my Yeti on my desk filled with water and ice, and I'd return the next day to a still-icy cold drink. This is also optimal for a bedside table at night: You'll wake up to pleasantly cold water.
Basically, the Yeti Rambler is the less-chic way to keep a carafe of water on your desk. If you like drinking water out of ginormous cups; if you love a cup that keeps your beverage cold; if you need something sturdy and spill-proof that you can take on the go and feels built to last: this cup is your 2021 version of the Big Gulp. And if you do want to drink a soda out of it, have a cranberry limeade for me.
