It’s time to de-clutter your overstuffed drawer of novelty koozies that don’t even work. Say goodbye to wet hands and warm drinks, and hello to Frost Buddy’s universal can cooler, a stainless steel koozie made to keep your summer beverage crispy cool ’til the last sip. Fans say it’s “100000% worth the hype online” for its smart design and all-day drink cooling. Even better? For all its durability, it’s priced just under $40 with a clipped coupon. With the 4th of July coming around this weekend, what better way to celebrate independence from watery drinks and lukewarm last sips?!
This isn’t your average koozie. This one gives you options, as it’s designed to fit *five* sizes of cans and bottles and work as a traditional tumbler.
Crafted with a “wiggle-free” silicone lid and the brand’s patented multi-fit insert (with a bottle opener), this double-walled koozie is truly universal. As shopper Skean reports, you can use it to hold a 16-ounce energy drink, a slender White Claw and a traditional 12-ounce soda or beer can — with no shaking, spinning or spilling. If glass is more your style, this baby can go on 12- and 16-ounce bottles, including “stubby” ones à la Red Stripe or Modelo.
“I pivot between corona bottles and slim cans so I wanted something to fit both.. this fits my needs perfectly,” one said. ”...When you drink several different sized cans/bottles it can be cumbersome loading several can insulators into your beach tote or camp supplies,” another wrote. “This Frost buddy 2.0 can fit basically everything inside whereas the competition can typically only fit one or two sizes of can/bottles without needing to purchase a different-sized coozie.”
The slim exterior feels good in the hand, fits easily into most car cup holders, and comes with a built-in rubber bottom to keep your drink stable. Plus, it turns into a traditional tumbler, for enjoying fountain sodas, iced coffees or tap water, with the simple addition of the Universal Buddy drinking lid and straw (it’s currently sold out on Amazon, but available in a bunch of colors on the brand’s website.)
While they look cool, fans say they work even cooler — keeping drinks “icy cold” and sweat-free for hours, even in direct sunlight.
This koozie has been taking over the internet for its versatility with drink sizes and nearly endless color and pattern options. And while it does come in dozens, yes, dozens, of hues and festive designs for the summer and the 4th of July, (I’m partial to the melting ice cream cone), fans say this baby doesn’t just look good, it works really, really well.
“This is amazing,” shopper Dustin wrote. “I work as an HVAC technician in south Florida and I often times never get to finish my energy drink before my first call. So by the time I finish that call and get back to my van my drink would be hot normally.” Yet, after trying a Frost Buddy cooler, “the half monster I had left was still cold,” even “after 5 hours in direct sunlight in my van.”
″...I tested this thing to the max, leaving it on the rocks in 100° sunlight,” another said. “While the product was hot to the touch, the liquid inside remained ice cold. And now I use it almost every day! You can fit just about anything into this product and it keeps it at the same temperatures as advertised.”
Others who have tried every cooler and can cover out there say Frost Buddy takes the cake, and is “absolutely worth the price,” as it “keeps drinks ice cold every time.” “These are perfect for the beach on 100-degree days or by the pool, and I love that you can safely use a glass bottle poolside since it’s fully protected,” another wrote. “Our whole family loves them, and we never have issues.”
However you’re celebrating the 4th, you’ll be glad to have this baby in hand. And if you’re going to someone else’s party — this and a 6-pack would be a solid host present. (You can pretend you got the idea yourself; we won’t tell.)

“This is amazing. I work as an HVAC technician in south Florida and I often times never get to finish my energy drink before my first call. So by the time I finish that call and get back to my van my drink would be hot normally. I’m happy to announce that after 5 hours in direct sunlight in my van. I got back to the half monster I had left and she was still cold. 10/10 highly recommend if I could give more stars I would.” — Dustin
“We’ve tried many can coolers, and Frost Buddy is hands down our favorite. It’s absolutely worth the price. It comes in great colors, fits all can sizes (tall and short), and—most importantly—keeps drinks ice cold every time. These are perfect for the beach on 100-degree days or by the pool, and I love that you can safely use a glass bottle poolside since it’s fully protected. Our whole family loves them, and we never have issues.” — CR
“I saw an instagram ad for these and was impressed but now that I’m a proud owner, I’m here to say I’m blown away. They thought of everything. This thing is amazing. You name it, it fits, keeps it cold, doesn’t sweat on your hands or furniture, it replaces 4 other similar products that I have… and it’s so dang cute! Worth every cent. Huge fan. ” — J perez
“Got one from my parents for Christmas and Im Obsessed! Best thing since sliced bread! My ice never melts in my drink and I never taste the watered down portion of the drink at the end. Im not the type to hype things up but this invention is genius and a must have!” — Amazon customer
“This thing is amazing and held up to all the hype. Fit everything from a monster in the morning, white claw in the afternoon, up to a bottle in the evening. Kept the drinks cold for a solid amount of time, even when sitting near the camp fire.” — Skean
