There’s no season that has a more dire need for cooling agents than summer does. One of our favorites is ice cream, the cold, sweet treat that satisfies our inner Foodbeast while also keeping us from overheating from the start of summer to the dog days.

The only problem I have with ice cream is that it melts way too fast. We don’t have any special ice creams that resist melting over here in the US yet, but this clever usage of a Yeti thermos cup can keep us going until that happens.

The hack was discovered by Twitter user Donald Li, who has gone viral after posting photos of his idea and even received some free stuff from Yeti and Enlightened (the ice cream brand featured in his hack) as a result. Here’s how it works: Add some ice to the bottom of a 30 oz Yeti mug, which can perfectly fit a pint of ice cream in its top compartment while the ice underneath helps keep it extra cold.

It’s incredibly simple, but it’ll help keep your ice cream from melting throughout the day so you can enjoy it longer. If you’re like me and typically scarf a pint down in under five minutes, this hack may not be as applicable to you. But for everyone else, give this frigid ice cream thermos trick a shot if you want to take your favorite pints on the go.
