An insertable cooling source configured to be disposed in a receptacle for receiving contents, the insertable cooling source comprising: a first portion having an opening for inserting cold contents into the insertable cooling source, the first portion including a plurality of ribs, the ribs form
1. An insertable cooling source configured to be disposed in a receptacle for receiving contents, the insertable cooling source comprising: a first portion having an opening for inserting cold contents into the insertable cooling source, the first portion including a plurality of ribs, the ribs forming a channel between each of the plurality of ribs; anda second portion connected to the first portion, the second portion having a plurality of projections located on a bottom surface of the second portion to elevate the insertable cooling source from a floor of the receptacle, the second portion projecting outward from the first portion to provide a platform for accommodating contents placed within the receptacle, the second portion having a plurality of tack-offs on the bottom surface, wherein the plurality of tack-offs extend a distance upward from the bottom surface of the second portion, the plurality of tack-offs increasing a load capacity of the second portion by allowing a deformation around the plurality of tack-offs, thereby reducing a stress on the second portion;wherein the plurality of vertical ribs continuously extend from the first portion to the second portion such that the plurality of ribs are located on the platform;wherein the cold contents inserted through the opening of the first portion are located within an interior of the insertable cooling device to deliver refrigeration to an interior of the receptacle, such that cool air from the insertable cooling source circulates within the interior of the receptacle above and below the insertable cooling source. 2. The insertable cooling source of claim 1, wherein the first portion is configured to extend across at least a portion of a side surface of the receptacle. 3. The insertable cooling source of claim 2, wherein the first portion and the second portion are formed as an integral structure. 4. The insertable cooling source of claim 1, wherein the cool air circulates between the plurality of ribs in the channels underneath the contents placed onto the platform. 5. The insertable cooling source of claim 1, wherein the plurality of ribs form a continuous cooling surface. 6. The insertable cooling source of claim 1, further comprising: an indentation in the first portion that is configured to be used as a handle. 7. The insertable cooling source of claim 6, further wherein the indentation in the first portion also indicates the maximum fill line for cold contents. 8. The insert of claim 1, further comprising: a third portion, the third portion including a third plurality of projections configured to extend across at least a portion of the side surface of the receptacle and face the first plurality of projections. 9. The insert of claim 8, wherein the first plurality of projections, the second plurality of projections and the third plurality of projections form a continuous cooling surface. 10. An insert configured to be disposed in a cooler, the insert comprising: a bottom surface, the bottom surface having a plurality of feet configured to engage an interior floor surface of the cooler, the plurality of feet creating a space between the bottom surface and the interior floor surface of the cooler to allow cool air from the insert to pass therebetween;a back surface residing proximate a first side wall of the cooler when the insert is disposed within the cooler;a cooling surface having a top end and a bottom end, the cooling surface including a plurality of ribs continuously extending from the top end to the bottom end, wherein a portion of the plurality of ribs form a platform for receiving contents placed within the cooler, the portion of the plurality of ribs being parallel to the interior floor surface of the cooler;a top surface, the top surface connecting the back surface to a top end of the cooling surface, wherein the top surface includes an opening for receiving cold contents;a plurality of tack-offs, wherein the tack-offs extend a distance upward from the bottom surface into the cooling surface, the plurality of tack-offs increasing a load capacity of the insert by allowing a deformation around the plurality of tack-offs, thereby reducing a stress on the cooling surface; andan integral handle, the integral handle formed by an indentation of the cooling surface, located proximate the top end of the cooling surface; anda chamber, the chamber defining an interior region of the insert that receives the cold contents from the opening; wherein the insert is a cooling source of the cooler that delivers cool air within the cooler to refrigerate the contents placed within the cooler, and houses the cold contents so that when the cold contents melt, the contents placed within the cooler do not become wet. 11. The insert of claim 10, wherein the insert is integrally formed as a single component to be placed within the cooler. 12. The insert of claim 10, wherein the opening includes a threaded surface for threadably securing a lid to cover the opening. 13. The insert of claim 10, wherein the cool air circulates in a plurality of channels between the plurality of ribs underneath the contents placed onto the platform. 14. The insert of claim 10, further comprising: a third top surface, the third top surface being further from the bottom surface than the first top surface in a first direction, the first direction being orthogonal to the bottom surface. 15. The insert of claim 14, further comprising: a second front surface, the second front surface being located between the third top surface and the first top surface in the first direction, the second front surface having a third plurality of projections. 16. The insert of claim 10, further wherein the integral handle formed by an indentation of the cooling surface located proximate the top end of the cooling surface also indicates the maximum fill line for cold contents.
