styrofoam cooler

Cheap insulated container

A styrofoam cooler is a cheap, lightweight insulated container made from expanded polystyrene foam, used to keep food and drinks cold.

Unlike hard-sided coolers, they're disposable and often used for picnics, fishing trips, or transporting perishables: We filled the styrofoam cooler with ice and beer.

The material insulates reasonably well but damages easily and isn't reusable for long.
