I'm pretty sure you can't freeze it - I think it just kills it... and
polaroid film doesn't keep that well. I think type 55 does a bit better than
colour, but not that much.

BTW, only last year Polaroid was testing an 8x10 version of type 55, but
decided not to produce it in the end....

That would have been cool

Now, anyone for "chocolate" polaroids? I keep meaning to try that out.
