Help me find this cosy.

[JB]

I drink one or two beers a day. I like them cold.<br /><br />Sometimes it is a Heini in the "keg" can, sometimes a Heini light (long neck), a Heini in a bottle and sometimes a Becks.<br /><br />None of the cosys I have found fit all of them. My grandson brought me one when he came to visit. It was a "strap" about 5" wide with velcro on the ends that was filled with material similar to the "blue gel" that is used in cooler chests.<br /><br />I put it in the freezer. When I wanted a beer I would wrap it around whatever I had and it fit. It also kept the brew cold while I sipped away for my typical 30-45 minutes. I loved it.<br /><br />Then I found out that he had swiped it from his dad, who loved it just as much as I did. So I gave it back. <br /><br />My problem is that dad doesn't remember where he got it.<br /><br />Where can I get myself a couple (I often drink my beer when I have company)?

JB- what about those mugs that have that gel in them and you can put them in the freezer....pull them out when need be??<br /><br />I have a couple bottle cozies that fit long necks perfectly....you can zip the bottle in. We bout it at Kmart a few years back.......(Its a Packer on, not sure if they make plain ones)

Re: Help me find this cosy.

I have one of those mugs, Pony. Haven't tried it with beer. I used to use it with iced tea and iced coffee. It usually froze a layer of the drink on the inside surface. I will give it a try.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, ZmOz. I may buy a couple of those, but I hate it when a $1.99 item has a $4 shipping cost. A lot of ebay sellers price an item very low and kite the "shipping" cost. Must be some sort of tax avoidance scheme.

Personally, I think you need to double the dose. :wink: :nudge: Donning flame proof suit and ducking for cover.

I'm partial to a heineken long neck myself and I collect 'cosys'. Are yours diving suit material?

Re: Help me find this cosy.

I don't think it's a tax avoidance, you gotta pay for whatever your profit on shipping if your actually keeping track for tax purposes. I have to claim all $ taken in on shipping/handeling, then deduct my actual costs, anything left over is profit. A lot of people just flat out do it to try to get more $.<br /><br />I saw a heater on sale with an opening bid of $5, and $25 shipping. It was 10 miles from me, so I emailed the seller and asked if local pickup would be ok. The reply was, " No, I'm trying to make the $ on the shipping becuase it won't sell for much"<br /><br />And for obvious reasons, nobody bid on that item. But for many people, they will just play the high shipping. I'll pay more for an item to a seller that charges believable shipping.<br /><br /><br />

THe closest thing i've found to a locator beacon for a hugger, coozy or what ever you want to call it is one that glows in the dark. I'm the worlds worst at setting a beer down then not being able to find it.

Re: Help me find this cosy.

Re: Help me find this cosy.

KK, my dollar budget and my calorie budget give me options.<br /><br />I would rather nurse one Becks that stays cold than guzzle several of the armadillo squeezins that are so popular. I don't like the interference with proper brain function that comes with more than one good beer or one good scotch.<br /><br />Snapper, thanks anyway.<br /><br />JMW, getting closer, but not the item I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestions.

This might do for you JB. <br /><br /> web page<br /><br />dern, just noted JMW posted a link to the chillout. Thought that might do 'cause of the velcro adjuster. ahhh poops.........
