"Poniamo una birra nel ghiaccio."

Translation: We place a beer in the ice.

[Elena18]

To a native speaker, this sentence sounds very odd in English. Is this supposed to mean to put something "on ice" or to put something "in the freezer" or "in the cooler"?

[marziotta]

If you are at an outdoor party, without fridge, you can have a big bucket that serves as fridge, full of ice.

(I would rather say "Mettiamo" than "Poniamo", poniamo is correct but not so common)
