33 years ago I paid about 33 bucks for this cooler at a Target in Oklahoma City to use for a company picnic. My wife and I used it this past weekend for a trip. We packed it full of food and sprinkled a couple bags of ice in it and later in the day when we unpacked our food, the contents were still cold and most of the ice was still frozen.
I guess I’ll keep it a few more years.
I have a small one that I use frequently, including for shopping trips where we buy ice cream. It can melt pretty quickly in the summer so the cooler helps.
Yep, sounds like a ‘keeper’ to me ~ Classics tend to last ^_^

I’ve had my Coleman Personal 24 for almost 30 years and still use it. A cousin loves his Yeti cooler but said it’s very heavy.
We call them chilly bins here and they are really good, quite sturdy, we use ours for fishing with ice packs in it when we catch fish.
Ours are quite old too and working great. I don’t really understand the cost of the Yetis and they aren’t even bear proof.
Last time Jillian was here she looked up our small six-pack cooler on eBay and she said we could probably sell it for $30. Apparently the older coolers are in demand. I think I’ll keep ours though.
The classics never get old!
