Abstract: A spray mate cooler is provided and consists of a portable ice chest being typically but not necessarily a box-shaped container having bottom, front, back and side inter-connecting walls. A removable lid is supported on the top edges of the box-shaped container so that the box-shaped container can receive and hold a supply of ice therein for cooling. A mechanism is on the bottom wall of the box-shaped container, for elevating the supply of ice to permit cold water of the melted ice to collect on the bottom wall. Another mechanism is for spraying the cold water collected on the bottom wall out through one of the side walls of the box-shaped container.
