I use these slim ones as a replacement to the "ice walls" that came with their Arctic Zone lunch boxes and they work *SO* much better. No lukewarm sandwiches at noon! I\'d buy more of these if I ever have the need.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is a weird review to write because I\'m unsure how to classify this issue other than "Freezing Issues"\n\nWhen I first purchased these, it took 2 full days to freeze them.\nAfter that, it still took a full day to freeze solid.\n\nAt first I thought it was frozen all the way solid but it only froze on the outer edges.\nIt was shocking to me that something this thin would not freeze in a matter of hours.\nHow can something that thin not freeze solid?\n\nThe way I discovered this was I was pushing this ice down into a tight spot in my cooler and I heard a small pop.\nAt first I thought I may have ruptured the outer plastic but when I pulled out the ice pack, it was full of liquid and ice chips sloshing around inside like a "slushy" drink. The pop was actually the thin ice inside cracking.\n\nI left these in a freezer all weekend and put it in my cooler on Monday and after only a few hours at work, I went on break and saw these things were already melted; cool but melted.\n\nIt just seems as if the solution mixture inside the icepack needs to be addressed because I don\'t understand why something that is only 1/4" to 1/2" takes so long to freeze but melt down so quickly.\n\nIt\'s not worth the trouble and frustration it causes.\n\nThe positive about this product is that its thin enough to slip into some tight areas and the outer shell seems durable, but again, I rather have cold drinks when working outside in the heat rather than some moderately cool drinks.\n\nHope this review helps you.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Very slim ice packs that don't take too much space in the freezer or lunch bag. Freezes quickly and stays frozen for a long time. Keeps lunch in an insulated bag cold until lunch even in a hot car during the summer. Due to Covid 19 we no longer have a public fridge at work to keep our lunches, so needed something to keep lunch fresh and SAFE to eat in the car. We hit 98° last week outside and the ice packs saved lunch!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "These are the perfect size to fit in my JanSport lunch bag! They're great and much better than those awkward bulky ones from when I was a kid lol. I needed some ice packs for mine and my boyfriend's lunch bags. These are slim and hard, durable plastic that is easy to clean. They keep my lunch bag cold for hours and come in a convenient 4 pack with fun colors! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some nice ice packs."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Although I will keep them, these, I'm afraid, are not worth the 10+ bucks I paid for them. They start to melt as soon as you take them out of the freezer and are almost completely thawed within the next hour. I would return them but since I have already thrown away the packaging and used them I won't."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These ice packs not only come in a 4 pack so you have more than enough for a lunchbox or small cooler, but they’re slim, reusable, and don’t sweat too bad. Can be refrozen each night. The slim design allows easy access to lunchbox setups. They are thing but have excellent cooling all day, usually using only 2 for the main pouch, holding multiple drinks. Keeps as many drinks needed cold all day with 2 packs, using all 4 will guarantee absolute cooling for an entire day.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'They are perfect size to lay in bottom of my small ice chest i take for lunch 2 sit side by side even keeping my water bottles cool for the day and they do come out of fridg so already cool and ice packs just keep them cool and when i get home the ice packs are still cool to the touch .....all items i place in lunch box stay cool even in this Texas heat .now my box dose stay in my work van out of direct sun but i do not think thes would work as well in a soft bag but my lunch bot is a small ice chest so better insulated than most soft bag lunch boxes ....i use every day and refreez every night .'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Since I bought a Fit & Fresh insulated lunch bag & it came with 1 ice pack included, that one had a large center hole to make it easy to pick up out of the bag. These ice packs are one solid piece without the center hole so they are either their new or old style … I don't know which. In any event, they neatly fit and are absolutely not a problem to put in or take out given there is no finger hole. I have a small Fit & Fresh bag for in my car and this size fits easily on the bottom or on each side. Very nice. I'm pleased with my purchase."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great value/ price. Two of these fit in the lunch box we have for our son very well. They freeze up fairly quickly last until his lunch time at school, when I asked him if they were still frozen at his lunch he said no but they and his lunch are very cold. Which means they have a solid 6-hour lifespan for keeping food cold which is plenty for what we use them for.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'If you need a way to keep your lunch cool these work! I have an insulated lunch bag and with it be so hot lately I needed extra ones! If you refrigerate you lunch and drinks then use these lunch and drinks stay cold for around 6 hours if not in direct sunlight! (Neat trick: if you put a frozen bottle of water or any drink in with your stuff.. increases cold affect longer!) I definitely recommend this product!'}]
