A friend of mine approached me one day with a suggestion of reviewing a new cup on the market that someone at her church had created. I knew the person a bit and agreed in reviewing the product in question. Gwenda hand delivered the My Cold Cup to me and I was immediately impressed with the design.
Gwenda Lindhorst-Ko is the Ottawa inventor of a new non-toxic, leak-proof cup designed to keep drinks cold -- dairy, soy, organic milk, smoothies, fruit juices, veggie drinks, ethnic drinks. She is the engineer and inventor but most important of all she is a mother that saw a need and did something about it.
Watch Gwenda sharing her passion about the cup.
Gwenda wanted a cup that would keep the drinks cold for more than five hours and that could contain just enough liquid for a lunch. It needed to be something that was wide enough to insert your hand when hand washing it. At the same time it needed to be unbreakable inside and outside. We know how kids can something be rough with their things and backpacks are often thrown on the ground in the school yard.
I tested the My Cold Cup quite a few times since I received it. The first thing I did was to put some water in it and insert the cold stick. I left it on the counter for about 6 hours and the water was fresh and cold to drink. The opening is wide and I love the
You don’t have to insert the cold stick in it if you don’t want to. But I most admit that this is an interesting concept that I haven’t seen in other kinds of bottles in the past. The cup is also easy to hold no matter the age of the child. Bottom line is this is the perfect cup for school lunches or to bring at a day camp.
I have a few disappointment that I want to share. The first one is that there are only two colors available – green and blue. I personally would love to have a red one and I know my little girl would love to have a pink or a purple one. Having said this, I think that My Cold Cup should consider expanding the colors as soon as the product is getting known. We are six people in our family and we like having cup of different colors so we know which one belongs to who. My second disappointment is that there isn’t a bigger size for adults. I love to bring water with me when I go somewhere but to be honest having to refill it constantly because I have drank all of it is not fun. Recently I use the My Cold Cup to go to a writer’s workshop and I had to go in the bathroom to refill the bottle. I wish there was a 1.5 liters size with the same idea. Maybe a future product for the My Cold Cup line…
If you are looking for a great cup that will be sturdy and won’t leak in the lunch bag, I strongly recommend the My Cold Cup. It is a product that was well thought and made by a Canadian mom who saw a need and acted on it. Encourage Gwenda and get one today!
My Cold Cup can be purchased online or at retail stores in Ontario and BC for the price of 24.95$. You can also purchase extra freeze sticks for the price of 2.50$ each. I wish that it would be possible to get a bulk price for purchasing more than one. With a family of six it’s always nice to have cold drink when we are going outside.
