Universal Buddy XL Can Cooler by Frost Buddy - Fits 12-ounce, 16-ounce, 20-ounce, and 24-ounce Cans and Bottles - Keep Your Drinks Refreshingly Chilled for over 12 hours. (Baby Blue)

Amazing gift- my friend lives on this thing. He loves gaming at night and having a cold beer. This gives him the endless cooling for hours of gaming. The color was very nice, I love how many color options there were and this size was truly able to fit everything and keep it cool. I recommend this size over any of the other sizes- as I made the mistake of buying the smaller one which only fits small bottles and cans….

Recommend 10/10!! Keeps my soda cold for about 4 hours then it stays cool for another hour or 2. Very nice texture/grip and made with great quality. One of the best investments I’ve ever made!! The size was a little big when I first used it but I think that’s bc my brain knows the size of a 20oz. After just a couple hours it just felt like an insulated cup like a Stanley. There’s a lot of color options and would make a great gift for any soda drinker!

It fits any type of can or drinks imaginable. It keeps drinks cold for over 2 hours in different sunlight. The only issue is that it doesn’t fit in many cup holders but other that is very portable and convenient to take everywhere.

EDIT 02/24/2024 – I’m bumping this up a star because after a few months of use I feel like it works SO well with my go-to 20 oz. G-Zero bottles that the tight fit of the 16 oz. Monster cans was over-emphasized in my initial review. I also inadvertently discovered that the painted finish on it is ridiculously durable after accidentally dropping it on a rough concrete sidewalk and finding only a few minor scratches. I’m impressed enough with this cooler that I ultimately purchased a second one when it went on a sale here in the middle of January with the intent of stretching and ‘training’ one of the lids to fit my Monster cans more easily (as well as to have a spare cooler). After a few uses with the cans I found that the lid indeed does fit them well now, but also confirmed my initial theory that it seems to permanently stretch the lid slightly, making it a teensy bit sloppy on the 20 oz. bottles. Taken as a whole though I think this thing is pretty great and easily worthy of four stars. Original review: I notice Frost Buddy seems to have merged this new “Universal Buddy XL Bottle Cooler” item with their discontinued “Big Buddy Bottle Cooler and Cocktail Shaker.” It makes it a bit harder to make an informed decision since the vast majority of the current reviews are about the old version (which I’d tried previously and returned for other reasons), but I’m here to review the new one that just became available and is advertised in this listing. Overall, I LOVE this drink cooler, but it doesn’t quite live up to the marketing. The build quality and construction seem quite nice, with a rubberized base and attractive finish (I went with the matte black). Most importantly though, it definitely keeps my bottled drinks colder for HOURS longer than the old cheap neoprene foam coolers I’d been using before. The only issue I have is with the advertised compatibility touted in the marketing, but it’s a significant issue for me. My daily drink of choice is Gatorade G-Zero (20 oz. bottle), but I also occasionally want a boost and will go with a Monster Ultra energy drink (16 oz. can). Both of these containers are listed as compatible with the cooler. The Gatorade bottle fits PERFECTLY with the “short” lid and no insert and has met or exceeded my expectations in almost every way. The bottle fits perfectly and the lid tightens down just right to secure the bottle from jiggling around while still being easy to use. However, my 16 oz. Monster can, when using the included insert (oriented properly) and the appropriate short lid is extremely difficult to tighten down without exerting quite a bit of force to stretch out the rubber of the lid enough to allow the threads between the ‘jar’ and lid portions of the cooler to catch and tighten. It’s arduous enough that I fear using it repeatedly with a 16 oz. can will stretch the rubberized lid to the point that it either rips, or that it’ll deform and no longer fit my Gatorade bottles properly. The “tall” lid is useless for either container. For me this item is still a keeper since it handles my primary Gatorade bottle quite well, but for the sake of safety I’m not using it for my 16 oz. cans, which is too bad (and is the reason for the reduced star rating). I feel like it could be perfect with just a couple tweaks, but as it is currently designed I wouldn’t consider it a good fit for the 16 oz. cans it’s marketed to accommodate. I’d really hoped I’d found a good “universal” cooler for my usual drinks, especially at this kind of premium price point, but I guess it wasn’t to be.

Keeps things cold for so long. Great quality, Easy to use and fits most bottles, cans, etc. Easy to clean, I just hand wash. Easy to hold. Great buy!

bought this as a gift for my mom 3 years ago and she loves it! I never see her out without it anymore. It’s held up very well as she takes it on road trips, to do farm work and to work with her. Keeps her drinks cold and looks good doing it! Shes a big fan!

I bought the smaller Frost Buddy first and loved it so much I got the XL for bottles. I ride SXS’s a lot and this help keep my drinks from getting hot on the trails. They hold strong, lots of color options, and fit in my cup holders. Would definitely recommend.

Not as expected. Swallows a 12oz or 12oz skinny can. Works best for 20+oz. 3 stars because it does keep drink cool. Would’ve returned if I didn’t throw the box out. See photos.
