Abstract: A device is provided for cooling beverage containers of a multi-container package. The device consists solely of a shaped, generally planar slab of ice including a surface for directly engaging and supporting the bottoms of the beverage containers of the package. The surface area is larger than but comparable to the bottom area defined by the bottoms of the beverage container and the thickness of the slab is less than the length or width of the slab. The surface of the slab of ice includes a plurality of recesses therein in which the bottoms of the beverage containers are received. The device is carried in a plastic bag and an elevating member is positioned therebeneath that defines a space in which water from the melting ice can collect.
