Ice Cream Tubbie

Scenario: hot summer night, time for dessert. Someone hands out plates of blueberry cobbler and then puts out a couple of tubs of ice cream and a scoop. Everyone serves him/herself to a little ice cream and everyone digs into the dessert and everyone forgets about the tubs of ice cream. Ice cream soup.

Enter the Ice Cream Tubbie, an insulated container with a freezable gel lid that is a perfect fit for a pint of ice cream. The insulation will slow the descent into soup, and if someone remembers to put the lid on, the ice cream can last up to 90 minutes at room temperature (assuming you don't live in the tropics).

Tubbie comes in several colors and is sold by zak! designs for $15.
