And speaking of soda, I remember big horizontal coolers in gas stations and grocery stores where the bottles were immersed in chilled water. You reached in and fished around until you found the one you wanted. Coke you could always tell by feel, but other brands were a grab-bag experience unless you could peer down into the dark and see the cap. And if you wanted a brand that used a bottle with a paper label, good luck -- the labels would soak off and float around in the water and eventually reduce into a gooey pulpy scum along the bottom of the cooler.
I remember those too. The bottle always seemed colder than the ones from an air cooled box.
