Abstract
An ice guard to receive a food container in crushed, flaked, cubed, or broken ice is provided having a side wall which includes a first end and a second end. The first end receives a first size of food container. The second end includes an inwardly intruding rim which receives a second, smaller size of food container. The side wall can define a plurality of apertures to cool the food container. By simply inverting the ice guard, different size food containers can be accommodated.
