As nice as they are, they are slightly TOO BIG at the bottom, to fit into most cup holders.
Maybe I could rub my head with buttermilk, and beat my head with a broom!

That must mean it's time for a brand spanking new car that fits your mug, right?

I have always appreciated nonsensical poetry and absurdist theater. Your post is truly brilliant in that regard.
That's all

Had the same problem with the half gallon Bubba Keg.

I know..I feel your pain. My square Jack Daniels No. 7 bottles won't fit in my truck's cup holders either. I have to keep the bottle between my legs and the neck hits the steering wheel.

The reason they make them Jack Black bottles square is so they won't roll out from under the seat when you put on brakes.

That's Karma for buying a $40 coffee mug.

I bought it for my wife. She likes it.
I also bought the OZARK TRAILS one, for some 12-15 bucks. They are just nearly the same as the 40$ mug.
BUT their bottoms are all essentially too big.
(I can see that going some place, not intended).

A, I bet you can't tell us you've never filled up bubba with beer and keep a straight face.

I have one that I've taken to all-inclusive resorts in Mexico for the bartenders to fill up with margaritas.

What a bunch of drinkers!!!!! A one-liter is plenty at a time to keep me going. The only square bottomed bottles I sip from these days are filled with tea. Most of the time I have them finished off before I leave wherever it is I purchased them.

I've used the same coffee mug for that last 10 years, a free one that Columbia Gulf gave my parents because a major pipeline runs through their front yard.

Remember to recycle the bottle. 😉

I was going to say... no, nothing about the bottoms. 🙂
I was going to say... I have the Ozark Trail 20 oz rambler and for 30% the price of the YETI rambler, and pretty much 100% of the functionality, I recommend it to everyone.
PS Not dogging on YETI. I have two of their tundra coolers, and am happy with them.
