Abstract
A portable and disposable, superabsorbent carrying container is provided which allows the user to obtain refrigeration on-demand for its contents. The container has a superabsorbent fibrous lining which absorbs not less than 15 times its own weight of fluids. In addition, the carrying container is able to provide refrigeration for the contents held within the internal volume of the container without the need for large mechanical refrigeration units or the use of previously frozen ice packs and the like.
