Painted Coolers

[VandalSquirrel]

I'm having a hard time putting in to words how much it unsettles me that there are almost 6,000 pictures of painted coolers since someone made the group in 2007. This will be trending at Idaho and Wazzu this fall if it didn't this spring. The current first photo has a bluorange logo of some school who got beat by Reno, Duke, the NY Yankees, and the Detroit Lions, and something else on the side. Is the theme teams with obnoxious fan bases? Because the Boston Red Sox, L.A. Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, and Oakland Raiders are missing as well as an NHL team.

When I'm enjoying the outdoors this summer if I see any guy in Montana, Idaho, Alaska, or Canada with a pink whale or a bow tie painted on a cooler I will laugh. It just will look out of place to me, and my laughter will increase exponentially if he's in camo, Wranglers, or Carhartts.

Oh. I just thought some of the Greek ones were really awesome.

I mentioned several times that I once stayed at a hotel where two winter weekends were being held - which interprets into two fraternities and several sororities. I saw a lot of those coolers and thought, "must be an SEC thing" and "What kind of paint would they use on those?"

I think the ones with ice cubes and beverages are somewhat cool. I'm convinced that they had contests or something.

I was wondering what kind of paint is used, as well. The artwork on some of them are really good, but outside of college-land, I don't think that many people would "get" it.
