It’s a .5 gallon plastic igloo thing that’s sold everywhere. Now that it’s hot outside, the ice and water melts too soon. I’ve switched to putting only ice but that still melted and stopped being cold too soon.

Is there something I can wrap it in that would be somewhat practical? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I don’t have a giant freezer. The real estate adding a large block of ice would take isn’t gonna work. And yeah, a more expensive one would be nice but then how large would that be to hold half a gallon of water? Those better ones seem to be so much larger and hold so little.

Any other ideas?

Oh, and if I made larger chunks of ice by freezing water in ziplock bags, could I peel the bag away from the ice once it is frozen, or would it be stuck to it?

you can freeze bags of water that would work, the less surface area the water has on the ice the longer the ice will last. You could also wrap it in some kind of insolation like a Isomate, take it cut it up and wrap it around the container.
