ABSTRACT:
A can or bottle drink carton comprising expandable compartments affixed to its opposite sides. Tear strips associated with each compartment are activated to facilitate deployment of the compartments. The carton can be converted into an ice chest by unzipping a tearstrip on each side of the carton, lifting ice cover flaps on both sides of the carton, popping out expandable ice compartments on both sides of the carton resulting in compartments ready to receive ice to keep the can or bottle drinks cold. The preferred embodiment would not employ the tearstrip nor the flap created thereby. Rather, it would facilitate securing the compartments closed against the sides of the chest with impermeable glue. This allows the compartments to be deployed by tugging the compartment free from the side of the chest. After use the carton is disposable and recyclable.
