This Portable Ice Cream Canteen Is the Perfect Tool for On-the-Go Pints

There are portable containers for just about every food and beverage, be it delicate baked goods or steaming-hot coffee. The one thing you can’t really transport without creating a mess is ice cream. You might be thinking, So, what’s the issue? You can buy a cone or cup of ice cream just about anywhere. That might be true to an extent, unless your favorite store-bought flavor is hard to come by or unless you’re journeying to a remote location where there are no stores, period.

Call it a spoiled mentality, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to bring a pint of Häagen-Dazs or Baskin Robbins with you during your beach day or camping excursion — especially not when Uncommon Goods sells the perfect container for this exact purpose. Indeed, their ice cream canteen is a must-have for every cold dessert-lover. Or, if you’re looking to get your winter holiday shopping out of the way, this is a good item to keep an eye on for the loved one with a sweet tooth.

This clever little canteen is sort of like a thermos, but for ice cream. It’s essentially a vacuum-insulated, stainless steel container that lets you bring otherwise melty treats with you anywhere. Its double-walled design not only keeps the contents solid and cold, but it also prevents messes should your ice cream start to run as you eat it. Although the canteen stays cool on its own, you can also pop it in the cooler for extra protection, which is an especially smart move if you’re going to be driving or outdoors for a long time. Naturally, it’s pint sized, so it fits the perfect amount for two (or, let’s be honest, just you). You also don’t have to use it only for ice cream! Use the container to hold any small treat that you want to keep cold, be it fruit, yogurt, or an icy drink.

Average Rating: 4.6/5

“I use this to transport homemade ‘ice cream’ (nice cream) to family gatherings. It can also be used as a mini cooler chest (for ice or anything else you want to keep frozen while on the go). I’m sure it works perfectly for a store-bought pint of ice cream (its intended use).” — reviewer Bunny

“Great for hikes, picnics, road trips, or out by the pool.” — reviewer County Doctor

“It cleans out very easy and does not retain food odors with proper maintenance. It is very sturdy and seals very tight.” — reviewer FCGran

With this brilliant canteen, you can say goodbye to soupy ice cream messes once and for all. And, you’ll always have your favorite flavor with you no matter where you go! What’s more, you can use it as a regular food storage container once your weekend trip comes to an end, so really, this Uncommon Goods find serves multiple purposes.
