I use 1 gallon bags and put one bottle of alcohol in it. Then add two alcohol bottles of water, seal and put in the freezer. They won't freeze but turn to slush. Very good for ice packs. They are completely reusable. You could also just put water in them and totally freeze them for your coolers. Again reusable Jack, That sounds like a great idea. I've got to try that. I have one of those vacuum machine. Diesel

Diesel, I don't think you will regret it. You know you can fill one of the bags with drinking water freeze and put it in your cooler. As it thaws you can drink ice water. ----- Original Message ----- From: <DieselDis@aol.com> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 8:44 PM Subject: Re: [NJ-Memories] J a ck > > In a message dated 1/5/06 9:48:24 AM Eastern Standard Time, > tippy1@comcast.net writes: > > I came across another trick for anyone with a food saver vacuum machine. > I > use 1 gallon bags and put one bottle of alcohol in it.
