You know, the little blue plastic things that you can put in a coolbag to keep your beer cold...

I had a vague idea it was some kind of antifreeze, but a quick google found nothing relevant.

The reason I'm asking - we left one out on the side by mistake and our GSD decided it would be good to chew yikes

I think the idea is that it thaws at a higher temperature than water might i.e. stays frozen for longer.

Not sure about those ones but I used to sell these in Oz when I lived there and they are some sort of polymer, non toxic.

I used to demonstrate them and by way of proving they were fine to "eat" I did!lick

After two weeks of constant proving the doctor told me to stop.

Hmmm... No definite answers then?

Maybe a call to work who have access to the poisons centre will prove more fruitful.

BRB - but don't stop guessing in the meantime! biggrin

That's the kind of dedication I like to see in an employee.

German Shepherd Dog, 10 points to V8S biggrin

Apparently all freezer blocks and ice packs etc are filled with a mysterious gel, nobody's quite sure of the ingredients but it is definitely non-toxic. Fingers crossed for the puking dog then smile

Did you say "everything you can't find"?

I remember seeing a dog being x-ray'd at an airport (Fuertaventura IIRD). This old lady put it through the machine in it's "basket" thing. I imagined the image on the screen to be of a dog, side-on, with a cartoon bone in the middle of it. I didn't find out for sure though.

Same here, who cares about a freezer block other than another freezer block.
