Heading up to the cottage and not sure how much ice you’ll need for the long weekend? Keep your drinks cold by filling your cooler along the way with Petro-Canada’s limited-time ice pump.
You might think you’re ready for your long-weekend trip to the cottage with your car packed to the max, playlists on queue, and coolers stuffed with snacks and drinks.
But no matter how prepared you think you are, did you pack enough ice to last until Monday? After all, no one wants a lukewarm soda or expired meat and cheese for sandwiches.
So, Canadian gas station, Petro-Canada, decided to help Canadians keep things cool for the long weekend by exchanging gas for ice.
The Canadian company created the country’s first-ever Ice Pump, a working gas pump that dispenses ice instead of fuel.
With thousands heading outside Toronto for the long-weekend, the pump is located along a major route to Ontario cottage country in Bradford, ON, at 577 Holland St W.
Whether your ice has melted before your destination or you need to fill up some more, this limited-time pump is here for your ice-y needs from July 30-Aug. 1.
