This cooler hack is one of those “why didn’t we always do it this way” things.
Most of us dump a bag of ice in, throw the drinks on top, and spend the next three hours fishing through slush for a can that’s now floating sideways with a soggy label. In Texas heat that gets old fast.
The fix is almost too simple: ice on the bottom, a cheap oven rack or grill grate right on top of the ice, then the drinks sit on the rack. Melt water stays down where it belongs. Everything stays organized, nothing gets waterlogged, and you can actually see what you have without digging.
Two extras that make it even better for long days:
• Freeze a few water bottles the night before. They act as extra ice and turn into drinking water as they melt.
• Pre-chill the drinks. The rack works a lot better when you’re not starting with warm cans.
We’ve used this for cookouts, lake days, and family gatherings ever since. No more slush-dive. Just grab and go.
Simple change. Big difference.
@MeatSauce1, there’s no question that the walk-in song for your boy in everything he ever does is https://t.co/1NhfPFFkOP
For all y’all at @PowerTripKFAN, get iHeart to dish out the money… I mean - pay the fines for the song for your new intro!!!
When my family room TV turns on, I set it to play a Samsung TV 80’s music video station by ‘XITE’. I see some pretty great (mostly super funny) videos that rule. Here is one of many I’ll share as I am awed. Watch and question the decision making on shots, sequences, etc.
