6000 BC – 1800s: Barrels were used as some of the first containers for food preservation. These wooden crates are the grandfather of the modern cooler, storing everything from dried foods to wine.

  1802: Maryland farmer Thomas Moore invented the icebox. Named the Refrigeratory, this was an oval tub made from cedar wood and lined with rabbit fur.

  1953: Richard C. Laramy of Joliet, Illinois filed a patent for the “Portable Ice Chest and the Like.” Rather than using flimsy foam, he used heavy-duty metal that increased durability.

  The 1960s: Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, and many other drink companies started advertising portable coolers. These were so successful that bigger versions were eventually made for stores, restaurants, and food courts.

  The 1970s: Soft plastics, like vinyl and nylon, became popular for lunch containers and coolers. These materials were less durable than hard plastic or metal but were way easier to clean.

  The 1990s: Igloo released the first wheeled cooler with a convenient handle. The wheels made portability way easier, allowing Igloo to increase the storage size of their coolers.

  2006: Brothers Ryan and Roy Seiders started Yeti. Their coolers are top of the line, using the same process as the boating industry for extra durability and chilliness.

  2017: Fridge Freezers from Australia make it easy for you to take your refrigerator on the road. These powerful coolers are designed to handle extreme conditions and keep food as cold as 0°F.

  2019: The Krewser is a cooler scooter that gives new meaning to the word “portable.” For about $2000, you can even get one that’s custom wrapped and fitted with speakers.
