Will the ice cream stay frozen?

| I am tasked with buying those little ice cream cups for a school event and handing them out. It will be about 90 minutes from the time they leave my freezer until we hand them out. Do you think they will stay froze in a cooler with ice? Just a regular Igloo cooler. |

This is from google:
Ice cream will remain frozen in a cooler as long as the ice packs and the ice does not melt. Typically, if all the conditions are ideal, it will stay frozen for 12 hours with dry ice packs and regular ice. If only regular ice is used in the cooler, it will stay frozen for 2 hours. Sounds like using dry ice is the way to go. |

Pp here. I forgot to mention that if you don't want to deal with dry ice then maybe you can do a test run with the regular ice.
Just buy a few cups from the store, maybe 3-5 cups. Put them over ice in a cooler in your home. You could also try the garage or front porch for a true out in the elements test since those areas will be warmer than inside your home to see how they perform. |

Are you in the DC Metro area? Most of the Harris-Teeters have it in a special freezer towards the front. Just called before you go to ask so you don't waste a trip. I think I might have seen them in Whole Goods before too. Again, call before you go to inquire. |
