Before the advent of electricity, people used various methods to keep food and beverages cold. They relied on ice harvested from ponds and lakes during winter, storing it in icehouses insulated with straw or sawdust. Additionally, they used cool cellars or root cellars, which maintained lower temperatures due to their underground construction. Some also employed techniques like wrapping perishables in cloth and placing them in cool water to prolong freshness.
