I use this cooler on the patio when we entertain at the cottage. We use a larger cooler for adult beverages and this one for soda. I can leave it out for a couple of days and the contents remain cold. 

I also use this cooler when my mass arrival formation flying group, Cherokees to Oshkosh, flies in to the world's largest airshow. It helps me haul luggage to my tent (set up by the airplane) and doubles as a seat next to my collapsible table. And... of course it keeps my beverages and breakfast food cold. In 2020 we will have 60 airplanes in formation and my cooler will be with me as always.
