Oh, do we like these. We put them in my daughter's boots and in both kids' coat pockets. Allows us much more outdoor time in chilly weather!

Global warming says NO!

Or you could just go to Costco, get them for the same price and save the shipping (but add sales tax).

people are hot and cold on this product over at amazon

Buy an extra box and send them overseas to the troops

I buy these and hand them out to homeless people. It keeps 'em a little warmer, and it's not something they can trade for booze or drugs.

Not true. These do not release CO2. They turn iron into rust.
BTW, these and some ground aluminum can be used to make thermite.

Thanks! Now I have to force myself to not buy any... Ever. I would buy a bunch, but me and stuff like thermite is not a good idea.

I bought this pack about a week ago. They don't get nearly as hot as I would hope. The heatmax handwarmers are a lot better than these.

Are these "Bags of Crap"?

I bought these last time on Woot and also give them to homeless people.

I miss the liquid filled ones that had the little metal piece you would bend back and forth to activate. Then you could boil them to reuse them.

I have seen a few online, but most seem pretty small.

How big is little? Can't seem to find any measurements.

Add my kudos for the great troops and homeless ideas.

Passing these out is is a good way to make friends of the women on a cold morning motorcycle ride!
I'm not above a bribe. I'm in for 3.
(of course one of those boxes will be going to my girlfriend)

I checked, they're not the same price. It would be $4 more per box.

My purchase of 3 would have cost $62 whereas here they cost $54.

You had me slightly worried, but I still saved $8. ( would've been $12, but Woot hit me up for $4 tax)

Might these be handy for stashing in a brassiere in an overly air-conditioned office, to de-perkify us chilly gals? (Perks at the office should only involve fringe benefits, right?)

Do these have a short expiration date? I've found any of these charcoal based "warmer" products don't stay hot for much more than an hour after they have expired.

I'd rather have some Little Coldies Hand Colders.

I'm never really outside in the cold anymore, but I could see using these to make snow shoveling a lot more bearable.

I use these while rock climbing when it's cold. Stick one in the chalk bag and some in my shoes.

We hand these out to my daughter's soccer team. Some of those games are cold even for us spectators that are bundled up. These are perfect for when the girls are on the sidelines.

ETA - just read reviews at Costco and it sounds like the 2013 versions have a problem. Costco Reviews

I bought these last time and am somewhat disapointed - They take about 30 minutes to get luke warm and never get truly warm...

Thank you so much! I almost bought these when they were on woot earlier. Glad I missed it. Will for sure pass on lukewarm hand warmers.

Theoretically you can put these inside your gloves or booties while scuba diving in cold water, but be careful... The deeper you go the harder it is compressed against your skin, and you CAN get burned. I've seen it
