An alternative that I have found works pretty well is a simple Home-Made pack.
Fill a disposable, plastic water bottle with water to about the 75-80% mark.
Mix in about a teaspoon of salt. Then freeze the bottle.
The most expensive part of this is the salt...as the bottle was likely going to be trash anyways.
Because you did not totally fill the bottle with water, there is room for expansion when it freezes.
The salt allows the bottle to freeze at a lower temp and allows the bottle to be more effective.
And if the bottle were to be punctured in the cooler, it is salt water and not toxic.
Plus...it is usually easy to source the materials to make as many of these as you want.

Then you have… water.
With this, you have a liability you have to carry or throw away. Just sayin…

I've been doing farmer markets ever since I realized they are cheaper and better for you.

Where is the link for the cheap 4x4's you speak of?
Been waiting for the price to drop; you set off my deal alert.
THIS ^. I dumped Amazon Prime after having it for many years. Walmart + is my new "go to". They really do a great job with it. Highly recommend.
Your right..a water bottle is not right for every use. Neither is a small, flat block.
If only there were other shapes and sizes in the world.
