Cooler?

[Micky]

I remember some years ago, seeing a little fridge type cooler that worked by adding a cup of water onto the top.
No electric/Gas.

Anyone know what they are called and if you can still buy them.

Wait a minit - I remember. Had one for family camping holidays. Made out of expanded polystyrene. Completely useless, I found.

When I used to go camping we would have a cotton sleeve that we slipped over milk bottles, standing the bottle in a bowl of water the water wicked up the tube and the evaporation of the water cooled the milk. It worked a treat
