HOST Insta-Chill Can Cooler Flexible Freezable Gel and Ice Pack for Regular 12 oz Cans, Wine Red

HI. THESE THINGS ARE A GOOD IDEA IN THEORY; THE PROBLEM IS THE INDIVIDUAL POCKETS THAT HOLD THE FREEZABLE GEL AREN'T THICK ENOUGH TO HOLD VERY MUCH GEL, AND EVEN THOUGH I LEFT THEM IN MY FREEZER OVERNIGHT, THEY LOST THEIR COLDNESS IN LESS THAN A HALF-HOUR, EVEN THOUGH MY BEVERAGE WAS ALREADY COLD, RIGHT OUT OF THE FRIDGE!! THE ONLY THING POSITIVE ABOUT THEM I CAN SAY IS THEY MAKE A GOOD HOLDER FOR YOUR COLD CANS OR BOTTLES, BECAUSE THEY ARE INSULATED, AND WILL KEEP YOUR HAND FROM GETTING COLD, AND THEY HAVE A NICE HANDLE TO HOLD, BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR $26 BUCKS!!

Even though beers cold my fingers are warm!!

If you were going to guzzle the beverage as fast as possible, it would still be cold, but then you wouldn't need this product, would you? It does NOT fit around bottles--the bottle will slide right out. It's for cans only. I found it overpriced and low on value. Would not recommend.

These workbut not great and they are awkward. Was hoping to get a replacement for a product called "the beer fridge" that no longer seems to be made. This is not nearly as good and isa poor replacement!!

Purchased these as I didn't like the ones we've had for years. They are easier on my hands than the larger, solid plastic blue ice koozies we have, but they don't keep drinks as cold or for as long.

See 3 pix: If you wrap the can to align the velcro up it is very loose and can drop through. You have to pull the side past most receiving velcro strip to hold a normal can with a big flap sticking out. You could wrap it after in a couple rubber bands to hold flap down but goofy.Also, the amount of gel for freezing is half what it should be so does not keep anything cool for long!! I think it may have been designed to use more gel with bulging pockets instead of so flat which then would work as expected. Either someone is pinching pennies as usual over there which again ruins the functionality of the promised product and creates landfill garbage as maybe another reason.

Keeps drinks cold for an hour or less.Love the Velcro! I can wrap it around my son’s sippy cup and around the strap on my purse.

It stays cold for half an hour at most. It’s easy to hold because of the handle but it’s not really worth it since the cans or bottles get warm just as easily with it on. After a couple of uses it started to smell funny so I washed it but the smell got worse. It seems it wasn’t supposed to get wet? That’s pointless. It’s now in a drawer somewhere but belong in the trash unfortunately.
