My personal fav is a large rubbermaid garbage can, put a large garbage bag in there, FILL WITH WATER, then get 2 to 3 blocks of ice and put them in. This works great with 2 liter bottles .

Soooo....ice in a bucket. Never heard of that one before. Although the salt is an added bonus. That's how you get sub freezing temps when you make homemade icecream.

Ah, but that's the thing. Most people stop at ice in a bucket because "that makes things cold". They don't understand that it takes salt to allow sub-freezing temps, and water to allow more surface area for the transfer of thermal energy.

We used to let our girls sell soft drinks when we had garage sales. Salt was the secret ingredient to making them colder than cold. One problem though was the diet drinks don't have enough sugar in them to keep them from freezing...so they froze, expanded, and broke the cans open.
