Default Free BMW's and parfume for the Brits ~ 200 + more containers adrift


It's a "Reefer" container, but they don't necessarily cool them down to
freezing. My guess is that to maintain freshness of the Doritos you're
far better off keeping them cool over long distances rather than allowing
them to get hot in a closed container.

As it should be, if a ship can not control and keep it's cargo then it
becomes as hazard to mariners. The best way to get it cleaned up is to
give it to the finders. What the problem will be... and not a good
gift... is when a fiberglass boat slams into a mostly submerged
container way offshore. Happens all the time.

Good reason to keep an underwater camera aboard, if you strike a
container, get the ID number off the container and the shipper will
have to pay to fix any damage, if you don't sink and drown.

It looks like a freezer container. How come they freeze Doritos?
