How long will these stay frozen NOT in the freezer? Will they still be frozen in a lunchbox for 5 hrs?

No, it is not intended for long time cooling, it is not specially insulated, it simple silicone and last about the amount of time it takes to enjoy an Otter Pop! Nevertheless it's great for homemade pops.

In my experience, no. The ice pops I made became slushy as the children ate them in the sun. Perhaps a yogurt "ice pop" might stay frozen-ish if you wrapped in it an ice pack, but I would recommend testing it on your counter first.

No, I don't think they would stay frozen very long. I would freeze the pops, put them in a lunchbox and then "drink" the contents like a smoothie. Here's just one recipe that I use: 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt 1 cup of berries (blueberries and raspberries are our favorites for this recipe) 2 very ripe bananas 1 teaspoon real maple syrup or honey (optional) Blend the ingredients until very smooth. Set the pop molds in a tall container to hold them steady as you pour in the smoothie. Pour into pop molds. Make sure to leave 1 inches of the mold because the ingredients will expand as they freeze and can push the cap open if overfilled. Put on the pop lid. Place freeze pop molds upright in the freezer. When frozen, remove the pop lid and enjoy. (You may need to rinse the outside of the pop container just a bit so that it's easier to squeeze up the pop treat or let the heat of your hands do the trick.)

I would think you could put them in kid's lunch box but I would use yogurt...maybe freeze and then put it in the lunch box just as they are heading out the door.

I have never tried them in the freezer but my guess is no. The material they are made of does not have the same look/feel of material that I know can be frozen. My guess is that these would crack.

Just my experience, but I would eat them within a week, two weeks at most. I have not tried freezing them. The Internet says you can drizzle in olive oil and freeze for up to six months. Thaw completely in fridge, steam or microwave to warm.

I didn't know, so I put mine in the freezer for 12 hours at minus 17 degrees F. They are still as soft and flexible as at room temperature! Amazing!

In a closed freezer (assuming the power is on) they would last indefinitely- with the power off, I would think they would last weeks assuming the freezer is in a cool spot indoors.Freeze them as long as possible, at least 24 hours works best for me. But they do freeze in about 3 hours or so.

Not the pre freezed ones. These takes longer but since it is very small, couple hours should do

I just put ice packs in freezer then in morning attached to caps for kids school snacks. I'm sure cups wont last long frozen without ice packs.

LOL.......never did it and I don't suppose they would stay cold for very long (kind of like a piece of cloth) but a question I never thought of..........but, yes, you can pretty much put everything in a freezer....

They will still be cold if it is closed and in a decent temperature (in the car or bus), but they would not be frozen. It guarantees frozen things up to 3 hours.

I typically defrost them in the fridge over night or pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, depending on consistency. I have read it is not a good idea to defrost by leaving them on the counter because you risk bacteria forming.

I would leave them in the bag unopened. I believe the expiration date is several months. I did use mine within 1 few weeks. I would also think you could freeze them.

I sincerely doubt it. This product has been a huge dissappointment. I would estimate that this ice pack would stay frozen for 4-5 hours.

My son loves them so much that he budgeted them in the fridge for over a month and they were still awesome. They keep really well as long as you refrigerate. We put them in a zip-lock bag and refrigerated. Good luck!

No! They are not insulated, but I put a cold pack next to them in the lunch box, if I want them to stay cold. If, I don't then I don't add the cold pack!

They can be put in the refrigerator. If you put in the freezer, you can not leave them in longer than 20-30 minutes.

Yes, they do arrive frozen. Packaged in dry ice. We use one pack a day, so I've never had them for more than a few months.
