Do snuggle safes work in reverse?

As per the title really.
Can you put them in the freezer & use as a cold pack?
Feel bad asking when some of you have snow but its really hot here all of a sudden.
I do the frozen water bottle thing but was thinking that a snuggle safe is a better shape.
Guess I could experiment but just wondered if anyone had ever tried it.
 
For freezing we use Ice Pods here as opposed to snugglesafes. They are both made with phase-change liquids, so I'm not sure they would work in reverse as each phase change liquid is designed to be either solid or liquid at certain temps and release energy in the process (I think). But you could always give it a go! ;)
 
It will work but might reduce the lifespan of the unit. I think when they freeze it can distort the casing. Once that happens I don't think it's safe to use in the microwave anymore.
