Everyone knows how cumbersome coolers can be. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the park, or out on the boat, they’re nothing more than necessary evils. Despite other notable advances in drinking techniques and technology, the cooler peaked with the rudimentary addition of wheels. It’s kind of pathetic when you think about it.

But the times they are a-changin’. For the better. Allow me to introduce the COOLEST Cooler, a Kickstarter project with over 27,000 backers, and $5 million in funding, with 44 days to go. Read that sentence again. That’s unheard of on Kickstarter. Most people are fighting to the last day to reach their goal. Coolest has reached theirs 100 times over with over five weeks left in their campaign.

So what’s all the fuss about? The 60-quart COOLEST cooler has a built-in ice crushing blender, a waterproof bluetooth speaker, and a built-in USB charger. And that’s far from everything. It also includes…

I’m telling you right now. You have never seen anything like this. Watch the video. From start to finish. It will blow your mind.

Okay, so now you’ve realized you absolutely must have one of these bad boys, right? Yeah, that’s how over 25,000 other people felt. So head on over to the COOLEST Kickstarter page and pledge $185 (+$15 for shipping). That pledge level ensures you will have your very own COOLEST by February of 2015, and you will save $115 off of the $299 retail price.

With the kind of support this project is getting, who knows? KegWorks could be carrying the COOLEST by February as well!
