I never saw that before either.  I wonder if one end had a rubber seal?  I would imagine the pop would be spilling out of the bottle without one.  Very cool, you could have crushed ice and chill your drink.

Were these things red and white... look like a large fishing bobber? Remember seeing something like what you're talking
about in an antique store years ago... Coke made them.
