A cooler for holding two cans, particular beverage cans containing beer, soft drinks or the like, in a stacked or tandem arrangement. The cooler holds the cans snuggly, keeping them safe from bumps and the like, and also insulates the cans to preserve cold or hot temperature of can contents as long as practicable. The cooler has a cylindrical configuration including a body with an open top, a closed bottom, and an interior space. The body has a cylindrical sleeve and a bottom, which is either in the form of a separate panel or unitary with the sleeve. The bottom has an aperture for preventing or reducing vacuum on the inside of the cooler.

1. A container holder for two cylindrical beverage can containers, the holder comprising a cyndrical body constructed of a flexible, insulative, synthetic rubber material and having a predetermined length of slightly less than a length of two containers and cyndrical interior diameter substantially equivalent to the outer diameter of one of the containers enclosed, during use, in an interior cavity, the body having a closed end and an open end, wherein the body has a length of approximately 8.75 inches and an interior diameter of approximately 2.5 inches, the body having an elongated cyndrical wall and a circular bottom, wherein the body has a thickness of approximately 9 mm thick synthetic rubber whereby the body will retain a cylindrical shape when standing upright and when the interior cavity is unoccupied, and wherein the circular bottom has at least one aperture, the holder adapted, during use, to hold the two cylindrical beverage can containers in a tandem, in-line orientation whereby a portion of one of the beverage can containers is exposed at the open end of the body for consumption of the contents thereof, the aperture in the circular bottom permitting venting of air when containers are inserted, the container holder being adapted, during use, to hold and insulate two beverage cans, one can being completely disposed within the interior cavity for insulation and portability, and the other being partially disposed within the cavity for insulation, portability and ready access for consuming the contents thereof, whereby the user can easily insulate, hold and transport twice the amount of beverage in a single container. 2. The container holder of claim 1, wherein the body has an elongated, cylindrical wall and a circular wall disposed at and forming the closed end. 3. The container holder of claim 2, wherein the circular wall is unitary with the cylindrical wall. 4. The container holder of claim 2, wherein the circular wall is non-unitary with the cylindrical wall, the circular wall being connected to the cylindrical wall via an adhesive or a weld. 5. The container holder of claim 2, wherein the exterior of the cylindrical wall is cylindrical. 6. The container holder of claim 1, wherein the exterior of the body has an ad panel. 7. A method of holding a pair of cylindrical containers comprising the steps of: a. providing a holder adapted to hold two cylindrical containers, the holder comprising a cylindrical body constructed of a flexible, insulative synthetic rubber material and having a predetermined length of slightly less than a length of two containers and cylindrical interior diameter substantially equivalent to the outer diameter of one of the containers enclosed, during use, in an interior cavity, the body having a closed end and an open end, wherein the body has a length of approximately 8.75 inches and an interior diameter of approximately 2.5 inches, the body having an elongated cylindrical wall and a circular bottom, wherein the body has a thickness of approximately 9 mm thick synthetic rubber whereby the body will retain a cylindrical shape when standing upright and when the interior cavity is unoccupied, and wherein the circular bottom has at least one aperture, the holder adapted, during use, to hold the two cylindrical beverage can containers in a tandem, in-line orientation whereby a portion of one of the beverage can containers is exposed at the open end of the body for consumption of the contents thereof, the aperture in the circular bottom permitting venting of air when containers are inserted, the container holder being adapted, during use, to hold and insulate two beverage cans, one can being completely disposed within the interior cavity for insulation and portability, and the other being partially disposed within the cavity for insulation, portability and ready access for consuming the contents thereof, whereby the user can easily insulate, hold and transport twice the amount of beverage in a single container;b. inserting a first cylindrical container in the open end of the holder; andc. inserting a second cylindrical container in the open end of the holder, whereby the cylindrical containers are in a tandem, in-line orientation so that a portion of one of the second cylindrical container is exposed at the open end of the body for consumption of the contents of the second cylindrical container by a user. 8. The method of holding a pair of container of claim 7, wherein the holder cylindrical body is flexible. 9. The method of holding a pair of containers of claim 7, adapted to hold and insulate two beverage cans, one can being completely disposed within the interior cavity for insulation and portability, and the other being partially disposed within the cavity for insulation, portability and ready access for consuming the contents thereof, whereby the user can easily insulate, hold and transport twice the amount of beverage in a single container. 10. A beverage storage and delivery system comprising: (a) a first cylindrical beverage container;(b) a second cylindrical beverage container; and(c) a container holder holding the first and second cylindrical beverage containers, the holder comprising a cylindrical body constructed of a flexible, insulative, synthetic rubber material and having a predetermined length of slightly less than the length of the first and second beverage containers and cylindrical interior diameter substantially equivalent to the outer diameter of one of the containers, the body having a closed end and an open end, wherein the body has a length of 8.75 inches and an interior diameter of 2.5 inches, the body having an elongated cylindrical wall and a circular bottom, wherein the body has a thickness of approximately 9 mm thick synthetic rubber whereby the body is non-collapsible and will retain a cylindrical shape when standing upright and when the interior cavity is unoccupied, and wherein the circular bottom has at least one aperture, the holder holding the first and second two cylindrical beverage containers in a tandem, in-line orientation whereby a portion of one of the beverage containers is exposed at the open end of the body for consumption of the contents thereof, the aperture in the circular bottom permitting venting of air when containers are inserted, the container holder holding and insulating the first and second beverage containers, the first beverage container being completely disposed within the interior cavity for insulation and portability, and the second being partially disposed within the cavity for insulation, portability and ready access for consuming the contents thereof, whereby the user can easily insulate, hold and transport twice the amount of beverage disposed in a single beverage container.
