Abstract
This invention disclosure pertains to a device which is used for cooling soda and food by means of a reusable two piece horizontally positioned iceblock pack which the parts thereof are molded to conform to the shape of a two liter soda bottle. The iceblock pack with bottle and a food holding tray are contained within a thickly insulated rectangular housing. A vented tap is screwed onto the bottle after being enclosed within the case to permit dispensing of the soda. The unit is supported into its tilted angled down position by means of an angular shaped leg apparatus which is also the carrying handle apparatus when rotated around to the top of the cooling unit and snapped onto the spring loaded buttons. The iceblock packs contained within the cooler are to be frozen within a freezing unit before usage.
