1. Some of our POM meals in HI were fantastic. And some that were great in the past were inedible. And some of are meals were wrong.
2. 48 pack cooler should fit 20-24 POM size meals. If they're frozen for a few days they'll stay frozen in the cooler for days with no ice needed.
3. Fill the Polar Bear with hot water in a tub and let it sit for a few minutes to expand it so it can fit more meals.

I have the large one which I've used on some long trips when i needed to take a bunch of meals. Can anyone recommend the size i should get if i need to carry just a couple of frozen meals and maybe a package of deli.

If it's really small amounts then the 12 pack is good. They're just bulky so they take up space. If you can swing free returns id check the 6 pack but that doesn't really leave you room for ice. I haven't actually seen the 6 pack.

Thanks.

I'll get both and see which works best. I don't really want to carry something around, especially when i am not checking luggage.

Will dry ice ruin the cooler?

After i bought it from HD i got a email from Polar Bear direct with a promo code for 15% off which essentially makes it a little cheaper then anywhere else.
Code is 15POFF for 15% off
