In hot times like these,
there is always a need for those blue freeze packs of convenience ice for coolers. The reusable kind. Generally the color is blue; you freeze them
in the freezer, and use them to keep food and beverage items cool in transit
from home to beach house or vice versa.
I have used this kind of
product for 20 years or more, and have used several different brands that have lasted that
long. But finally the question of leaks
and safety has come up, and I decided to investigate replacing my freeze pack
inventory – various sizes, small, medium and large.
The search took some time, so
I will share my final decision. After
studying Amazon and EBay and Wal-Mart, I have decided the best quality for me is
a Rubbermaid’s product called Blue Ice.
It has the most reviews on Amazon and the most favorable reviews.
Blue Ice is certainly not
cheap, I wouldn’t even say the price is reasonable. But after reading some “leak stories” about
lesser priced brands (in Amazon reviews) I have settled on Rubbermaid for
safety. If you have found another brand
that has held up well, please comment below. I believe that some brands have
dropped quality in the last 10 or 20 years, possibly due to changes in the
factory process, the raw materials, or “origin”.
