Claim:
1. An insertable cooling source configured to be disposed in a receptacle for receiving contents, the insertable cooling source comprising: a first portion having an opening for inserting cold contents into the insertable cooling source, the first portion including a plurality of ribs, the ribs forming a channel between each of the plurality of ribs; and a second portion connected to the first portion, the second portion having a plurality of projections located on a bottom surface of the second portion to elevate the insertable cooling source from a floor of the receptacle, the second portion projecting outward from the first portion to provide a platform for accommodating contents placed within the receptacle, the second portion having a plurality of tack-offs on the bottom surface, wherein the plurality of tack-offs extend a distance upward from the bottom surface of the second portion, the plurality of tack-offs increasing a load capacity of the second portion by allowing a deformation around the plurality of tack-offs, thereby reducing a stress on the second portion; wherein the plurality of vertical ribs continuously extend from the first portion to the second portion such that the plurality of ribs are located on the platform; wherein the cold contents inserted through the opening of the first portion are located within an interior of the insertable cooling device to deliver refrigeration to an interior of the receptacle, such that cool air from the insertable cooling source circulates within the interior of the receptacle above and below the insertable cooling source.
