Beer Cooler

[Chezkaren]

I was just shopping in Tuesday Morning and ran across a "Beer Cooler". It is similar to a beer "huggie" except that it is filled with whatever the liquid that is in ice packs. You put it in the freezer and it keeps your beer cold. It also says that it will chill a beer in 5 minutes ... just in case you don't have any cold ones ... and that it lasts for hours.

Has anyone ever seen these and, if so, how do they work? Of course, I bought 2 of them to try myself but, alas, I'm still at work.

I have something similar--a plastic mug that you put in the freezer. It is a two layer deal, with the ice pack liquid in between the two layers.

It does chill warm beer, and keeps it very cold. I hate drinking out of plastic, so I don't use it very much.

But will it chill a six pack?

Actually, they've had similar things for wine bottles for a number of years.

Which makes the huggie that much more appealing....if it actually works the way I hope. Only drawback that I can see -- no bottom.
