In my childhood, we drove everywhere - vacations, moving cross country to escape death threats, traveling to visit distant relatives, moving back cross country after my father died.
And the one constant was the road trip cooler. Stuffed with soda, snacks, bread, and lunch meat, that thing got toppedd up with ice at every hotel.
And as an adult, I don’t really do that sort of travel anymore, but as others have said - for chilling drinks and what-not. (But never for putting into drinks.)
I'm sorry to hear about the whole death threat thing
Oh, no worries. As a kid, it was a real adventure! I didn’t really learn about the reasons behind it until a few years later. And at that point the risk of danger had passed.
(Although, I probably shouldn’t have been told about it until I was an adult.)
Yeah, that came out of nowhere
I had to do a double take as I completely glossed over that.
Bread, squick, milk, squick
This can't be emphasized enough. Those things do. not. get. cleaned.
If you don't use hotel ice but do get ice from fast food then boy do I have some bad news for you
Yup. Put ice in the bucket, put canned/bottled beverage in bucket, wait a bit.
