Gordon Christensen, from Dickinson, North Dakota, is the creator of the NoDak -- a food cooler that does away with any melting ice that can damage the contents of the interior.
The idea for the NoDak came about when Gordon Christensen was fed up with seeing his food ruined by exposed ice -- which made it soggy and nearly inedible. To change this, he decided to include a cylinder within his food cooler design, allowing consumers to place items that they don't want to touch melting ice inside of the chamber.
With this, food is kept dry and cold, as well as safe from heavy drink cans and bottles. When consumers wish to retrieve food from the NoDak, they simply remove the cylinder while their drinks stay emerged in the ice.

Trend Themes
1. Dry Cooling - Developing food-specific coolers designs that avoid the use of melting ice to keep food cool.
2. Interior Cylinder - Implementing an interior cylinder to separate food from melting ice within coolers design.
3. Food Protection - Creating coolers designs that can keep food cool while protecting it from other objects, such as heavy drink cans and bottles.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Incorporating NoDak's dry cooling or interior cylinder technology into existing coolers or creating new designs for the food and beverage industry to protect food and beverage products.
2. Outdoor Recreation - Developing coolers that can protect food and beverages during outdoor recreational activities such as camping, picnics, and fishing.
3. Medical - Adapting the NoDak technology and design to create medical storage coolers to protect medical supplies and equipment from exposure to melting ice.
