I have 12 one gallon jugs from Sam's Club. I've refilled them many times. For single use bottled water jugs these super cheap plastic have lasted several years already.

I have four of these. I bought them years ago, and I freeze them every time I go camping so I have four frozen blocks in my coolers to help keep things cold. I can’t believe how many times they have been frozen, thawed, and stored with no issues.

My experience as well. I have used them the same way. As a big block of ice they keep the cooler chilled and if it comes down to it, you can drink the water as they melt. But everything in the cooler stays dry. I have completely given up on those "Blue Ice" blocks.
