Be Cool
Here’s what we’ve got today: an easy-to-carry bag that acts like a cooler when it’s filled up with ice and cans. Thirty cans, to be exact. That’s its capacity. (Though, to be clear, this probably refers to your basic 12oz cans. It’s not of some magical construction that can hold 30 cans of any size.)
Or maybe it’s a cooler that acts like a bag when it’s not being used? Because that’s the really annoying part of a hard-sided cooler, isn’t it? Not when it’s filled to the brim with delicious beverages and ice, but when it’s totally empty yet occupying the same enormous footprint in your basement.
Look, really, it doesn’t matter what it is, a bag that acts like a cooler or a cooler that acts like a bag. What’s important is that it can hold a bunch of cans and keep them cold for a good long time. Which makes it perfect for schlepping a whole bunch of soda over to your friend’s dinner party.
And that’s soda for drinking or cooking by the way. Yes, you read that right! Cooking soda!
The latest culinary trend sweeping the nation is soft-drink-based recipes, and the foodie influencers out there have already developed a whole bunch of exciting new meals, such as:
- Dr. Pepper-oni Pizza
- Spinach and ArtiCoke Dip
- Pollo (Mr.) Pibbil
- French Dip au Dew
- Cacio e Pepsi
- Beef Bargs-ingnon
- Frescargot
- Fritto Sierra Misto
- Fantapasto
- Mello Yello Curry
Wow, these puns really do run the gamut from, ‘hmm, I could see that almost working’ to ‘I just threw up in my mouth a little,’ don’t they?
Anyway, buy this cooler. It’s good for your cans.
