Yeti Ice vs Regular Ice - Which Works Better?

We all know that Yeti makes high end coolers that perform really well but they also make ice packs that apparently stay longer than ice.
I wanted to put this to the test and see how Yeti ice performs against regular ice. We do a side-by-side comparison to see which stays colder longer and which melts first.

    I have a couple of yeti packs. I have noticed that on the yeti cooler these work great to slow down the melting rate of ice inside the cooler if you lay them at the bottom, load up your drinks, and top with regular ice. Without the ice pack at the bottom my ice melts considerably faster. The packs are no substitute for ice and its property to effectively surround your drinks and increase surface area of contact between ice and the containers to efficiently transfer their heat away from them.

    Agreed adding salt to water and freezing it will give basically the same effect or maybe even better if you use enough salt. It’s not that it expends its thermal energy faster though. It’s got to do with the melting point and the process when your ice pack is partially frozen. I wrote a full article on the science behind it huntingwaterfalls.com/why-does-salt-make-ice-colder/

    Can u do a video with the frozen yeti pack inside the yeti cooler with ice and see how long it last in a couple of days if the yeti pack stays frozen since the ice would be melting if it keeps the inside of the yeti cooler cold vs using a regular ice pack with ice. The purposes would be to help if it’s worth to extend the inside of your yeti or whatever hard cooler you have

    That’s not how you’re supposed to use the yeti ice packs. I have one and you’re suppose to put them at the bottom of the cooler and ice on top. As the ice melts into water the yeti packs, because it freezes at a lower rate it refreezes the ice water around the yeti ice pack. Things work better when used the way their designed to be used. Enjoy!

    Stop paying attention to yeti bullshit. Those same blocks cost upwards of ten dollars. Right beside them are blocks that work just as well for a tenth of the price(typically 1 to 2 dollars). The biggest of which usually go for at most 3 dollars. All yeti products are way overpriced when you can get similar products for far less. Cups? Usually can get BRANDED ones for ten to twenty dollars less(store brand even less), blocks, and hell even their coolers can be found cheaper(albeit not that much cheaper in that regard).
