This Pot Cools More Than Some Fridges by Nobody: 9:12pm On Nov 26, 2018
For those that grew up in or have visited the rural environment, this is natural refrigerator.

I remember, my grandmum had one beside her house and when the day was hot, I drank cold water from the pot. Just cover it to avoid dirt and other unwanted things from entering it. Behold, the native clay pot!

Did you use it? Have you ever drank from it? What do you call it in your language? Share your experiences.

Definitely drank from that kind of pot, one time I went to the village.

no matter how hot the weather is, the water in it will always be cold.

I and many of my friends from different tribes drank from this pot that year after 'catch and play' 'police and thief' soccer and many other fun games.

It was really a pleasant experience.
People who didnt live in the rural areas at any point in their live cannot relate.

This thing can still sell very well in the city if well marketed because there's no difference between then and now. There is still NO LIGHT.

I'm very much interested in the nature of the material used to build this pot. I wish we had white people's IQ. We would have looked for ways to keep improving on this tech until we can finally build a freezer that doesn't use electricity.
Re: This Pot Cools More Than Some Fridges by elyte89: 9:48pm On Nov 26, 2018
Thermocool freezer since 1530AD grin grin

Re: This Pot Cools More Than Some Fridges by dangoteinlaw: 9:49pm On Nov 26, 2018
It is normally burried a few inches to the ground to further enhance the freezing prowess grin grin
