Yeti Ice vs Regular Ice - Which Works Better?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- 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.

You didnt have to dump the blue liquid. You could of put it in a cup then put it back in and closed it up after the test
I came here to say the same thing. Giant waste of money ha
Fuck almost started commenting the same😂😂
After watching this whole experiment, I think it's safe to assume we're not dealing with the top brass in the class, here.😆
@@OGRHexactly! The entire experiment was rife with flaws
How so? I thought it was pretty awesome. Would you have come up with a different conclusion?@@TheDboy82
I can’t believe you didn’t put that lovely fluid into another glass that you could transfer it back into the yeti later
You could have poured the blue stuff in a container and reused it after. then again hindsight is 20/20.
Thanks for the video. Keep in mind, your just testing the difference in the Yeti liquid versus water. The Yeti ice block versus regular ice is a totally different comparison!
*you’re 😊
This is not a substitute for regular ice It a meant to make regular ice last longer
@@InfamousMS You're. :-) Punctuation is key!
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.
thanks for the info, I took note. I was wondering if these packs were useful at all. 😄
@@AlecBaldwin5816 indeed they are... They are there for you to pay more for an extra 2 inches of cold insulation! While also giving you the freedom to remove that and have more space.
Out of all the videos I have watched, this is the most accurate comparison of an ice pack that I have seen, well done.
Except it’s not
The conditions in cooler is completely different
You clearly didnt pay attention to exactly what this is used for
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786How different? Can you recommend a more accurate comparison?
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786he kept all the variable constant. It was a good test.
Yeti ice isn’t meant to be a standalone ice pack. You are supposed to put it on the bottom of your cooler with ice on top of it. It will keep your ice frozen longer
That is correct.
He also messed up the experiment by completely changing the environmental exposer from outdoors to indoors
I use liter bottles of water that I keep in deep freezer. I clean my yeti using the garden hose and leave the water over night to keep the yeti cold. Drain, Fill the bottom with frozen bottles, food and ice, we've had it last two weeks.
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
I strongly suspect Yeti Ice is just saltwater with a blue food coloring.
or water with just a little bit of anti-freeze in it to bring the freezing temperature down
@@4wheelliving132 Antifreeze isn't food safe, despite what some dodgy winemakers thought ;). Although they might just mean the plastic container is food safe.
Hire a bug guy! Liked the experiment though.
Wow! I was expecting the yeti ice to be a solid much longer than water. I’m debating buying the 2-4lb packs I need for my Tundra Haul at $30/each.
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).
Hello, if you don't use it, can it be kept at room temperature?
What's with the little brushed dc motor and JST connector on the window seal?
The phase change point of the yeti ice 🧊 is higher than regular ice so it melts removing heat from regular ice before it melts it’s advantageous to extend regular ice
Wouldn't the total capacity temperature transfer between the 2 of them be the same overall in the long run but just with different times of when they froze and melted? This seems like a slight of hand trick just due to phase duration.
@@bustaruckus5611 Ultimately pure water would hold more energy than salt water the advantage of the Yeti bricks is a lower phase change. So if you have something like frozen steak 🥩it would defrost in regular ice 🧊before the ice melts
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!
Would the yeti last an 11hr trip inside a cooler bag? Looking to bring cooked food back from hawaii to the mainland... lol
-This is meaningless. Hardness doesn't equal "cold".
-You gotta figure out which one absorbs the most heat.
- It's called PHYSICS.
Long story short, it doesn't make a difference. Just freeze water bottles to be used as ice and water for later. Save space and money in your cooler freezing a couple of water bottles
you can get a better effect adding salt to reg ice....it does the same as yeti but better. it expends its thermal energy faster which means it gets colder. salt water in a water bottle is the best and cheapest
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/
@@huntingwaterfalls it has to do with salt increasing thermal conductivity. Similiar to adding salt to water with an electical current. Energy needs to go somewhere so in high conductivity it expends faster. I just wrote a paper on it in youtube comments. Youre welcolm.
@@crabtrap you must be a know it all lol that can’t handle being wrong
@@tbfit7808 ummm, you must be a physics/science illiterate that can't stand hearing facts.
If you use these with ice the ice will bond to to yeti ice and ice melt will refreeze around it and turn it into a ice block
There is a youtube video on making ice packs with PVC pipe, they just use salt water in the pipes.
honestly you couldve poured the blue yeti liquid into a container and store the container during the video and after youre done making the video you couldve poured out the water in the yeti ice pack and pour back in the blue liquid so you dont waste the ice pack instead of dumping the blue liquid down the drain
Yeti ice is designed to be used with ice to prolong the ice . Like a booster pack.
Since the Yeti was cooler initially, it may have had more cooling power. To find out how much cooling power each has, put them each in a liter of water and then see how the water does over the test period.
The proper thing to do is to use them WITH ice, and they radically lengthen the time your ice lasts.
As does a frozen bottle of water, which is much cheaper, and you can drink them as the ice melts.
I think we’re gonna be ok, they have a thin candy shell
As far as I'm concerned I would choose the Yeti pack just for the convenience of dealing with a pack instead of melty ice
freeze saltwater in a aquafina bottle. works much better
You are supposed use both loose ice and Yeti pack TOGETHER for the intended effect. The Yeti isn’t designed to be used alone - it’s for extending the life of the loose stuff. The test he did had zero bearing on how it performs when used properly
I'm sorry but why didn't you drain the blue stuff into a container to save it so you could refill the Yeti ice pack?
Hi there, I know it's been about a few months since this video, but have you heard of Responsible Ice? 10 pound Ice packs that use plain water instead of chemicals? Great website too!
Shoot me an email ryan@ryanmclean.net if you’re interested in me doing a review of your product
Love the no chemicals💞🌎🙏
Thanks dude I will stick with my frozen bottles
thanks you saved me from making a pointless purchase
Should of tested them in cool box
It seems like all the negative reviews of Yeti Ice, the people miss the obvious point that the Yeti Ice is NOT a standalone ice! It is NOT meant to replace regular ice but to supplement it! As Yeti so clearly states.
It seems that everyone that uses it correctly has positive reviews of it.
The stuff looks like anti freeze
Why didn’t u save the blue water
You should have time lapsed by hour I think setting up a nice clock and letting the test run would have been better than you changing the environments of the ice blocks from outside to inside.
Yeti ice is designed to work with ice! Not as ice!
I woulda drained it in a cup or something
Wait, what does regular ice look like? lol Everything Yeti brand costs a million dollars and it seems like your paying for the Yeti name. If regular Ice is even close to the same performance, I'll stick with freezing regular water bottles, "not buy and deal with ice," drink them when they've melted, then save myself from going bankrupt buying anything Yeti. Thanks for the great review, you confirmed what I expected! :)
Yeti Ice works great. Game the system and buy a "lesser" brand but use the Yeti ice and improve the performance. If 15 bucks is going to make you bankrupt....
Why dont you try put some salt into the regular ice water... and then see how it hold up with yeti one...
@@outdoorfun8780 not how itworks dummy. salt added makes ice melt faster but expends colder thermal energy. that is the reason we salt roads
You could have saved the yeti liquid
Just saying
yeti ice just has alcohol in it that makes it unable to freeze
You have an ant problem Sir!
This guy doesnt know how to use the Yeti ice 😂 Its meant to be used WITH regular ice.
This was the worst science experiment I've seen! No research or genuine thought was put into it. Talk about trying to just pump out content that seems very very useful. It could have been. But here we are!
Congrats. You overpaid for some blue salt water
Not really the most accurate video. This is a cooler pack , not sit on the concrete on a hot day pack. You should have compared them in a cooler. And not constantly pick them up and shake them while talking
This is not the intended use of Yeti Ice. It’s not designed to be an ice pack. It’s designed to work with regular ice, to extend the life of regular ice. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS MOOORROONNNNN!!!!!!!
Stay classy
