Let’s talk Stubby Coolers!

Stubby Coolers, Stubby Holders, Koozies, Cosies, Huggies, whatever you like to call them, we love them!

But first, a little “cooler” history lesson!

Australia kicked off the stubby cooler craze in 1980’s! The short, stout sleeves are named after our popular bottle size “stubbies”

In 1981 Bonnie McGough of Caldwell, Idaho filed a patent for an insulated sleeve she called a “cozy”, inspiring many other companies to create their own versions in the future.

1987 saw Scott Henderson of Plano, Texas file a patent for a fold-up insulated beverage container. This was the first design that was completely collapsible while also being able to stand upright on a table.

So who invented the stubby holder?

In Australia, Shane Walsh invented a “stubby holder” in the mid-1970’s. The Stubby Holder became particularly popular with surfers who used these foam drink sleeves as they hit the waves.

So that’s why Australian’s love Stubby Coolers so much?
