My Review 

This neat little bag doesn't need any ice blocks (which take up room and kids always lose). The bag goes in the freezer and a special gel in the lining chills way down in no time at all but doesn't freeze solid.

The gel keeps the food at a lovely chilled temperature for up to 8 hours. The food stays fresh, salads crisp, and drinks just the right side of chilled to be cold without the need for loads of ice. Amazing.

The downside: you do need a large freezer to accommodate the bag. I have a large chest freezer, but those in apartments may struggle.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
