    Stubby holder should be cheaper

      But not in the same league. You can use this as a cup to keep drink cold/warm, just dont drop or dent it.

    • Always one

  • Do the 375ml cans fit? There seem to be AU reports that it works well but it says 355ml etc

    • Based off the Super Cheap Auto description it does both.

    • Description on Amazon also says it can hold a 375mL

    • It holds them fine, they just have a little more can exposed at the top. This definitely keeps it cold for as long as you would need. Just bought a second one.

      I have a couple of these from when Aldi was clearing them out for $5. They're fantastic in summer and much more effective than neoprene. Not so great in winter but a few wraps of SOS tape fixes this. The rubber grip also comes lose after a while but a wrap of SOS tape under it sorts that out too.

      No good for most bottles.

      375ml cans fit fine. Great value for $5 but not sure I'd spend more than $10 on one.

  • Price beat at Super Cheap Auto.

    • +1

      except Super Cheap Auto don't have any stock

  • Anyone know of a bottle version?

    The top is exposed, not really going to solve the problem. And if you have an open can for 10 hours, theres going to be absolutely nothing left in terms of carbonation.

    • +2

      Of course nobody will leave it 10hrs. Point is, it works much better than a normal one

      • -3

        False advertising. Can't claim it keeps drinks cold for 10 hours when it doesn't.

        • +1

          How do you know it doesn't?
          What does "cold" mean? 5, 10, 15 degrees?

            @eug:

            How do you know it doesn't?

            I own 2 of these and drink a lot of beer from them. Don't get me wrong, most effective coolers I own for keeping cans cold but no way it'll keep drinks cold for 10 hours.

            What does "cold" mean? 5, 10, 15 degrees?

            Yum, 15°C beer and soft drink. Please go troll somewhere else champ.

              @OzBragain: A troll calling someone à troll,
              That's rich

              • @FredAstair: I own two of these which I use regularly, was sharing my experience and you're telling me that's trolling. Perhaps you can explain how an open top cooler can keep a drink cold for 10 hours?

                • @OzBragain: After you explain that you actually thinknthats what their advertising meant… Troll

                  • +1

                    @FredAstair: To be fair to ozbragain, thermos' own website says "The unique design securely holds any 12oz canned beverage and keeps it cold for up to 10 hours."
                    But it also says "steadily chilled drinks ready for you to pop open and enjoy anytime".

                    So the "up to" means exactly that. If it's 30C out it wont make it obviously. And they assume it's not opened. I'm under no illusions as to how long this will keep a drink cold, but as long as it's still cold by the time the drink's finished, why worry?

                    And to make it more interesting, further down the page it says "Keeps cold 10x longer than bare can" lol

                  • @FredAstair: So neither yourself or eug can explain how this open top cooler could keep a can of drink cool for 10 hours and have nothing to offer but childish name calling.

                    It doesn't matter what you or I think their advertising meant, what's relevant is what their advertising claims.

                    Thermos Stainless Steel Beverage Can Insulator will keep drinks cold for up to 10 hours, so you'll never have to worry about drinks going warm on a hot day.

                    Above is from the Amazon description. This defies physics and I can tell you from personal experience it's simply not true. It's false advertising and I'm sharing with other members here to set the expectation.

                    I have no issue with the claim that this "Keeps cold 10x longer than bare can". It's the best can cooler I've used.

                    Continue to contribute nothing of value if you wish, life moves on.

                      Are you referring to the use of terms like "champ" and "troll"?

                      This defies physics and I can tell you from personal experience it's simply not true.

                      That is why I asked what "cold" means. If it's 30 degrees out, a 15 degree drink will still feel cold. Perhaps even 20 degrees. I don't even set my aircon to under 23 degrees.

                      Thermos used typical marketing speak and did not give specifics, so their claims can't be verified quantitatively.

                      • @eug: S/He just doesn’t get it do they.

                        Thinking they’re smart but really end up sounding silly here.

                        • @FredAstair: Your insight is astounding there Fred, the community appreciates your contribution.

                        Haven't seen you offer anything constructive yet champ!

                        That is why I asked what "cold" means. If it's 30 degrees out, a 15 degree drink will still feel cold. Perhaps even 20 degrees.

                        But you still can't explain how an open top cooler can keep a drink cold for 10 hours "so you'll never have to worry about drinks going warm on a hot day". It can't!

                        Could you really call a 20⁰C drink cold! I couldn't. It'll be relatively cooler than ambient but never cold.

                        Majority of cans used in this cooler will be beer or soft drink which are served at 1 - 4⁰C. While cold and hot are relative terms, as far as drinks are concerned they're relative to body temp rather than ambient temp.

                        I don't even set my aircon to under 23 degrees

                        I don't set my aircon below 24⁰C, I don't serve my drinks above 3⁰C. One has nothing to do with the other

                        Thermos used typical marketing speak and did not give specifics, so their claims can't be verified quantitatively.

                        How about

                        Thermos Stainless Steel Beverage Can Insulator will keep drinks cold for up to 10 hours, so you'll never have to worry about drinks going warm on a hot day.

                        I'd say that's specifically unachievable

                          Do you have quantitative data to offer?

                          But you still can't explain how an open top cooler can keep a drink cold for 10 hours

                          Your "cold" may differ to other people's "cold".

                          I'd say that's specifically unachievable

                          Based on your definition of cold? Yes, you're right.

                            It's a drink cooler not the space shuttle. I could run an experiment to tell you exactly how much a drink warms up after 10 hours but it's really not necessary. I know that after a couple of hours in these coolers a can of drink is no longer cold and am sharing my experience for those who may benifit.

                            I maintain the manufacturer's 10hr claim is false advertising.

                            You still can't explain how an open top cooler can keep a drink cold for 10 hours. The best you've come up with is that 20⁰C is cold for a drink because you set your air con to 23⁰C.

                            …and you want to call me a troll.

                            Good luck with that champ!

                              I did not say it was true. I said it was typical marketing speak as they did not give specifics.

                              You still can't explain how an open top cooler can keep a drink cold for 10 hours.

                              As I've said before, it depends on how you define cold. Your definition of cold may be different to someone elses. I would still find a 15-degree drink "cold" if it was a 30-degree day. It looks like your definition of cold is "ice-cold", but there's a reason why the description "ice-cold" had to be made.

                              …and you want to call me a troll.

                              Please point out where I called you a troll. While you're searching, please point out the first mention of the "childish name calling" word "troll" in this thread.

                                I don't see it as my opinion but commonly accepted norms in our society. I can't think of a single example in our society where a cold drink is sold or served at 15⁰C vs the multitude of examples of cold drinks being sold/served below 6⁰C.

                                Regardless of what your opinion of cold is, there's no way a can going into this in the cooler at 2⁰C could still be 15⁰C after 10 hours in 30⁰C ambient temp. It's a great cooler but can't defy physics!

                                  As I've mentioned before, cold is relative. If it is a 30 degree day, a 15 degree drink would feel cold and refreshing compared to a room-temperature drink.

                                  Of course it would not feel ice-cold like it just came out of a fridge.

                                  And that is where the marketing speak I mentioned earlier comes in. Thermos did not give specific temperatures just so they can make claims like that.

                                    …and warm compared a cold drink out of the fridge…the way the vast majority of people consume their canned beverages. It's all relative.

                                    No one is disputing cold is a relative term, 25⁰C is cold for a cup of tea but hot for can of lemonade.

                                    Even if we were to accept your opinion that 15⁰C is cold for a can of lemonade, there's no way an open top cooler can keep a can of drink at 15⁰C after 10 hours in 30⁰C ambient temp.

                                    This isn't about your opinion of cold or marketing speak, it's about the ability of an open top cooler to maintain temperature over a 10 hour period.

                                    It's okay if you don't get it or just want to argue about 15 or 20⁰C cold drinks and your air conditioning settings. I'm done with this one buddy, feel free to have the last word.

                                    • @OzBragain: You keep missing the point every single time.

                                      Thermos did not say "this will keep your drink at 8 degrees C for 10 hours".
                                      Cold is a relative term. They did not give specifics for a very good reason. Every single time you keep talking about specific temperatures and how you drink cold drinks.

                                      feel free to have the last word.

                                      It's unfortunate you had to resort to tactics like that to try and make it look like this is about having the last word.

              champ.

              Heh. :)

    • What were you expecting? Once you've pulled the tab nothing you put it in will stop the drink from losing its fizziness over time. (Unless you have a pressure chamber)

  • i bought it last year in Aldi on sale for AU$7 only! i remove the top plastic ring and pour hot/cold straight to this cup. it's fantastic.

  • Same price at peters of Kensington if you don't have Amazon prime and you have a peters brick and mortar store

  • Not too sure about the seller details… "sdfsdfsdfshshfdfsfdsjfds"…

  • I ordered 2 yesterday at $12 ea from this post. Said would be delivered mid Feb. Just refreshed the page and its now in stock at $11 each with immediate dispatch. Cancelled my order from yesterday and re-ordered.

    • sold by "sdfsdfsdfshshfdfsfdsjfds" (???) not Amazon, though. Sounds like something fell on their keyboard as the seller was entering their name lol.

      • Reviews of that seller show fake tracking and wrong delivery address… twice..

  • This order got canceled the next day and the user was “no longer active”.

    I got my refund but a few days later had two orders through Amazon which was charged to my credit card. Amazon luckily noticed and locked my account. I wonder if it’s linked to this Amazon order? Has anyone else who bought it had same experience?
