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 Gunmetal Glory

Keeps it cold overnight. Works great!

I drink Diet Pepsi a little more than I should…This keeps my bottle cold for a long time. It fits a 16.9 oz bottle…the top ring is a little snug but works great. I have almost zero waste since this keeps it cold for so long. I have the next largest size also for the next larger size bottles. Love the rubber bottom so it doesn’t slide around. I have a few of these so I can bring a spare cold bottle if I’m driving a long distance. I also use this for beer, bottles and cans. I don’t like like warm drinks and this has eliminated that.

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.

I always wondered why they didn’t make insulated mugs for plastic water bottles. Frostbuddy is amazing and just what I needed! A water bottle taken from the fridge before bed is still cold the next morning in the Frostbuddy. I now carry everyday for work and it has helped increased my water intake.Plus the color is gorgeous!

This fits 20 ounce bottles perfectly and is my very favorite design! Colorful and well made. I’ve left my drink in my frost buddy in the car in a hot day and it is still cold when I return to my car! Absolutely can’t live without mine. Definitely recommend.

I'm writing this for anyone else out there like me who has searched high and low for the perfect holder for my store-bought water bottles. I drink a ton of these throughout the day and I have been searching and searching for something that would hold them and keep the entire bottle cold. These work perfect! Not only do they hold them perfectly but they keep them just as cold as when I took them out of the refrigerator for the entire time it takes for me to drink them. I've tried regular Koozies but they don't keep the entire bottle cold. I don't like sleeves because not only do they not keep them as cold, but they don't have any support for those random bottles that aren't always as sturdy as others. This is the XL size Buddy. It would also work perfect for pop bottles, Etc. It also comes with a adapter you can put in the bottom of the Buddy if you might have to have shorter bottles. It also comes with a second screw on lid that would adapt for larger bottles. I'm just telling you, you can't go wrong with this purchase!

Keeps your drinks of all sizes cold...Very functional and a must have.

Not great for 16.9 ounce plastic bottles.

I have been looking for a can cozi to keep my bottle of soda cold. This has met my criteria and i am satisfied!!Only negative thing i can say, it does require a really good grip to hold it. I added one of those stretchy bracelets that most people like to wear. I think, one more stretchy bracelet will help with holding on to the can/bottle of pop
