Anyone who read this remember the old wet box soda bottle dispensers? Supposedly, they gave you the coldest soda, due to the chilled water they hung in.

Yes, they were in a lot of places when I was a kid. Ice water remains at freezing temperature until the last of the ice in it melts, so those were ice-cold drinks. I don't think I've seen one in the last fifty years....

The specific ones I'm thinking of were actively cooled, with the cold coil in the water. Leaks could be shocking. :-)
