Even though the summer season is slowly coming to an end, there’s never a bad time to eat ice cream. Some people would even (rightfully) praise it as the best thing on Earth! We can agree that we all enjoy eating the delicious cold desserts filled with taste and flavor, but ice cream can be annoying sometimes for one very simple reason: it melts!
If you’ve ever had the feeling that you were rushing to eat your ice cream because it was about to melt, those days may soon be behind you. That means no more eating ice cream in a hurry, or no more melting of delicious cold ice into a liquid puddle of flavored milk – this clever hack can truly solve ice cream’s biggest problem.
Meet Donald Li, a user from Twitter who made an ingenious discovery.
One day, the young man realized that a pint-sized ice cream package is just the right fit and size to put into a Yeti cup, a popular thermos can.
Pint of ice cream fits perfectly into a Yeti cup. I think my life has peaked now. (Bonus ice at the bottom makes it extra cold) pic.twitter.com/Fcwa4kw08B

His ‘invention’ shines in its simplicity.
“Pint of ice cream fits perfectly into a Yeti cup,” he wrote. “I think my life has peaked now.”
Donald even shared a quick bonus tip: there’s more room at the bottom of the thermos to put a couple of ice blocks in so that the ice would stay cold even longer.
Using a thermos to store your ice cream in means you no longer have to worry about ice cream melting down a cone of becoming all liquid, because it will stay pretty frosty for a long time.
You can enjoy your ice cream for as long as you want. It’s pretty clear that this person deserves a medal for his life-changing discovery.
Donald’s tweet quickly went viral and it was retweeted over 14,000 times. Many people also praised and thanked Donald for sharing his smart life hack, with some even calling him their hero. The brands Yeti and Enlightened Ice also took notice of the popular tweet and decided to send some merchandise to the young man as a small reward.
This may be the best thing I’ve ever seen. Genius

Donald himself couldn’t believe all the attention he has received and responds humorously on his now well-known Twitter account.
“No matter what else I accomplish in life I don’t think it’ll ever be greater than that time I put ice cream in a cup,” he wrote. “On the bright side, I finally have an excuse to quit Med school.”
In any case, next time you want to enjoy some delicious ice cream, don’t forget to bring a thermos can.
