Default Neat trick for coolers...

Nuts with those idiots! Haven't they ever heard of "dry ice"?

A friend of mine up north used to work in a meat processing plant, and
if he was wanting to have a party, cook out, whatever, he'd bring home
a chunk of dry ice. Fill the cooler half full of water, throw in the
beer/ soda, make usre it was all submerged well, then throw in the
ice, and let it boil. short moments later, you had very chilled goods.

Co2 fire extinguishers work in a pinch. but you ahve to rince the cans
off well though.

I watched a Mthbusters that I had missed yesterday which tested the
fastest way to cool beer.

So I tried the experiment myself yesterday with a couple of Playmate
coolers.

First cooler had a six pack of Diet Pepsi, ice and salt water. I used
about a 1/4 box of salt on the ice and in the second cooler a six pack
of Diet Pepsi with just ice. I put both coolers on the rear deck, in
the sun, of my Ranger at 6 PM.

As expected, the ice/salt combination cooled the soda to 36 degrees F
in roughly fifteen minutes which matches the Mythbusters experiment.
As of 10 PM last evening, the ice only soda only reached 45 degrees.

However, the interesting piece of this was this morning. The ice/salt
water combination over night kept the soda cooled and as of ten
minutes ago, the water was at 50 degrees F. The straight ice cooler
water was at 62 degrees.

Cool huh?

Get it - cool?
