goodbye/fun facts....National Cooler Day...A cooler is an insulated box that keeps food or drinks cool. Can you imagine that as simple as the cooler is, it wasn’t mainstream until the 1950s?...In 1802, a Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, patented the refrigerator. It was an oval tube made from cedar wood, with a rectangular tin box inside it and lined using rabbit fur.  This invention changed how food was delivered and stored across the United States....but that invention wasn't moblie...so In 1944, an engineer at Dow Chemical, Ray ‘Otis’ McIntire, created Styrofoam. The polystyrene foam was an excellent insulator. Although its primary purpose was to replace rubber, it later became used in packaging, and then as coolers....and if you've ever wondered why coolers are white inside because of color’s effect on ice retention. White colors reflect all light, allowing the content of the cooler to stay colder for longer.
