But, the best part is that it can keep food and beverages cool for an astounding 4 to 5 DAYS! Camping, anyone??
The fabled history of The Coolest Cooler
Since it’s conception in 2012, The Coolest Cooler has experienced some unprecedented high highs, as well as some crushing lows.
The company’s founder, Ryan Grepper, decided to go the crowd-funding route for his unique invention. In August of 2014, the campaign had raised more than $13.2 million from over 62,000 backers, and it was named as one of the 12 most successful in the history of crowdfunding.
With support like that, you’d think that everything would be smooth sailing for the cooler maker, but, as it turns out, the complexities of business ended up getting in the way. Slow delivery times and raised prices disappointed the product’s earliest fans.
This led to some serious resistance from the investors who had yet to receive their cooler, but all ended up resolving itself when the company found a way to settle with these folks.
Nowadays, The Coolest Cooler can be purchased in a variety of new, fun colors via their website, Amazon, or at a licensed retailer.
