Pro tip, try to pre chill the water so its just starting to freeze before you dump it

Hot water freezes into slicker black ice.

If there's one thing ICE despises, it's black ice in the street.

I’m glad I have ADHD and will forget about this by tomorrow, or else I’d spend my weekend trying to figure out what temperature and droplet size makes the slipperiest ice. You can probably use far less water with a mist sprayer, assuming the mist doesn’t freeze before it hits the ground. (Saving water means better coverage by the time you run out, being my thinking.)

Pit ice cubes in the containers, got it.
