ice chests

Insulated beverage containers

Ice chests are insulated containers for keeping food and drinks cold, typically portable boxes filled with ice for picnics, camping, or tailgating.

The term is more common in the American South and West; elsewhere they're usually called coolers.

We packed the ice chest with beer and sandwiches for the beach.
