>>>slider chest type with ice for the coldest Coca-cola<<<
Oh boy, our local lumber yard had one of those - 5¢ Cokes...

Our nearest one was at a gas station a couple of miles from where we lived. Six or seven neighborhood boys riding hand me down Western Flyer (Western Auto brand) coaster bikes would descend on the gas station with our bamboo lances (carpet rollers) and soak our sun burned arms in the freezing water before dragging out the Coke bottle.

Here’s trivia note. The first soda cans I can recall were made of steel with conical tops and....a steel bottle cap. Seems to me that they were only used by local brands and weren’t around for very long. IIRC they were also some brands of beer that used them,
