Claim 21:
22. A cooler lid, said cooler lid comprising:
a hollow body having an outside wall, an inside wall, and a peripheral wall joining said outside wall to said inside wall;
said outside wall, inside wall, and peripheral wall defining boundaries of an internal chamber of said lid; said internal chamber of said lid being located between said inside wall and said outside wall and being surrounded by said peripheral wall;
said internal chamber having a filler port; said filler port being inset from said peripheral wall; said filler port having an entrance to said chamber that is intermediate said outside wall and said inside wall;
without regard to orientation of said lid, a first portion of volume of said chamber lies at a level above said entrance of said filler port, and a second portion of volume of said chamber lies at a level below said entrance of said filler port;
said inside wall having a peripheral formation, said peripheral formation including a land that, in use, engages a mating container body;
said inside wall having at least one stiffener extending one of (a) spanwise in a front-to-rear direction; and (b) spanwise in a left-to-right direction; and
said at least one stiffener divides said internal chamber into at least a first portion and a second portion, said first portion and said second portion being joined by a neck said at least one spanwise formation defines at least one spanwise extending channel having a back and a pair of legs, said legs extending downwardly of said back of said spanwise extending channel;
said peripheral formation defines a peripheral channel, said peripheral channel having a back, an inner leg and an outer leg, said inner leg and said outer leg extending upwardly from said back of said peripheral channel;
said inner wall having at least one spanwise extending web, said at least one spanwise extending web being bounded by a combination of said at least one spanwise formation and at least one portion of said peripheral formation;
said inner leg of said peripheral channel merging with said at least one spanwise extending web and extending downwardly therefrom; and
at least one of said legs of said channel of said at least one spanwise formation merging with said spanwise extending web and extending upwardly therefrom.
