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.


You must be right. I left a bag out in the hot sun in the cockpit one afternoon
and they tasted oily and stale.....

Cheers,

Oh, something to ask an expert. Look at the dent in the top of that container.
Doesn't it look like the corner of another container got dropped on top of it?
Maybe more than one fell off the ship and the one in the water got hit by another
one dropping down on it???
And why do they float? Do they have waterproof gaskets on the doors?

Cheers,
Ellen

It looks like a freezer container. How come they

freeze Doritos?


So they don't melt.
