(SPOT.ph) While it feels like it's always summer in the Philippines, there's no denying the intense heat you can feel after just one step outside these days. That just means it's time for road trips with your family and friends. You've got the reservations good to go and your RFIDs all loaded up, but you can't forget your ice-cold drinks. You can start digging for your old-school styrofoam coolers or those classic bright red or blue ice boxes—or you might want to level-up with #aesthetic (read: pale-colored) coolers from Mobi Garden that are on sale on Lazada.
The 8.5L cooler in Olive is now only P1,124.40 while the Sand version is P1,442.92 from P2,766. The 17L cooler is on sale at P1,686.60 for the Olive color while the Sand color is now P2,061.12 from P3,277. For a more portable option, the 26L cooler comes with an extendable handle and wheels. It's on sale for P3,492.09 in Olive while the Sand version is cheaper by almost P2,000 at P2,717.30 from P4,558.
Check out the features of the Mobi Garden ice box coolers:
There are three sizes to choose from, so you can opt for the one (or ones) that best fit your needs. The 8.5L cooler can hold 11 bottles of 350mL water, the 17L can hold 20, and the 26L can hold 30. For a more "practical" way of thinking about it, the 8.5L is for a quick day trip, the 17L is fit for a weekend with the family, and the 26L is perfect if you want to get (responsibly) wasted with your friends.
Since you're most likely bringing the coolers out on the road, it's important that they don't spill while on the move. The thick handles actually lock the lid to prevent items and liquids from pouring out. You can rotate the handle to the center or to the back of the lid to lock it, and rotate it to the front to open the lid.
The coolers are built with food-grade materials to ensure their safety when in use. It's layered with polyurethane foam for thermal insulation.
Even though they're colloquially called "coolers," the Mobi Garden boxes can actually also keep your food and drinks warm. So you can use them to keep your newly grilled BBQ fresh or to store the bulk order you bought from that gas station drive-thru. The 8.5L and 17L boxes can keep food warm from 36 to 48 hours while the 26L can do up to 72 hours.
While the coolers can keep your food warm and your drinks cold for hours on end, it's important to note that you should still prepare enough ice, minimize opening the lid, and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.
