what did you get

@Matthew did it come with the paperwork and sticker too?

@Tribit dunno, I'm at work, gf said it came

👌

@Tribit yes, it came with all the paperwork

Xiaomi pistol?

So what does this mean? Did some chink steal a ton of Yetis, or is there a leak in their factory process?

>leak
Nothing yeti made is patented besides the logo and name, it is probably a breach of some contract but its china

But it's also coming with official materials and packaging <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

Oh, them yeah, its probably some guy diverting a small percentage.

@Matthew Chinese factories sometimes run secret shifts or will sometimes overproduce a products

The remainder of those items made and ones made during secret shifts they sell on

Happens a lot

Does yeti not have a process in place to see that happening, like counters on the machines?

so sorry gweilo, we make too many

oh no they have a small scratch

they all fail quality control

they just sell whatever they have

@Matthew also they're called secret shifts for a reason you know

I was more thinking like...you can't turn the odometer on your car off for untracable miles, so how could they get away with it on the machines? I'm pretty sure production audits are a thing

I guess Yeti just sucks

hm did you pay for it

@Matthew remember fidget cubes?

same shit

eventually molds to make the things simply disappear

There's no way they were using Antsy Lab's machines to churn out all those units

@Kimichiboi what? Are you a dummy?

@Matthew it happens

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

just using fidget cubes as a example

Gee a country of several hundred million in the workforce and a couple million semi competent mould makers, how could they produce a fucking CUP

lmfao was thinking about yeti mics <:downs:355737951918882846>

@Matthew perfect example here

https://petapixel.com/2016/10/21/popular-selfie-stick-kickstarter-copied-undercut-china-record-time/

They had a Chinese factory produce samples

for their kickstarter campaign

before they even finished the campaign the Chinks were already selling it themselves on AliExpress

for way cheaper too

*before the Kickstarter was even over, China was selling a perfect copy for as little as 8 bucks.*

chink magic tbh
