How much can this cooler hold and how should I pack it?

The Koolatron Coors Retro cooler fits roughly 18 standard 12-ounce cans or about a dozen bottles when arranged with ice. For best cooling performance, pre-chill beverages, layer ice and drinks, and avoid overstuffing to maintain airflow.

• Capacity: ~18 cans (13 L / 14 qt)
• Alternate layout: ~12 bottles with ice
• Packing tip: put ice on the bottom, then cans standing upright, finishing with more ice
• Do not block the lid seal; leave a small gap for cold circulation

How well does it keep ice and drinks cold?
