Why don't they just put these things into the ocean and solve global warming?

Why would I buy frozen ice cubes? I have no time to microwave, I'd rather buy fresh ones

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

You need to try the grass fed free range ice cubes.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I have fresh ice cubes every day, so I literally had a tap of the stuff installed in my kitchen.

If you are into fancy looking cocktails this product makes sense. Making clear ice cubes at home is not easy.

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 67 points 1 day ago (7 children)

If you are into making fancy cocktails then you can get into making fancy ice

[–] chazwhiz@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can make these arguments about literally any prepackaged product. I’m not defending this ice, but come on. You can make anything yourself, so long as you have the equipment, time, and money. Paying for someone else to have done it for you is about convenience, and is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Almost done making my ISS, shouldn't be too many leaks when I'm done with it. I'm using the expensive duct tape after all.

[–] Mentando@lemmy.zip 9 points 19 hours ago

SMH my head, of course you should be making the duct tape yourself 🙂‍↔️

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

If you’re into making fancy ice, then you can get into making your own purified water using complete combustion. If you’re into making purified water with complete combustion then can get into making your own hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. If you’re into making your own hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen then you can get into making your own universe.

A bartender I worked with made his in a little igloo cooler, of course then you one big block that you have to cut into functionally-sized cubes. But he would also do cool shit like suspend pine needles into it the block so each cube had a little sprig coming out of it after they were frozen and cut.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

You just need to keep the water agitated as it freezes to prevent bubbles forming in it, and they sell machines specifically for this that would pay for themselves in no time over buying pre-made fancy ice cubes. They even have ones that make spheres.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

you can also freeze the ice in an insulated container with no lid. that makes air bubbles and impurities collect at the bottom, after which you can cut that part off.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago

You are the only person in the thread to get this right. Nobody else actually has done it and it shows.

if i saw these i'd leave them in the bread section

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

What the fuck....... My co worker put a video of this.... On snap like 11 hours ago from Aldi's. Like, this could be a screen grab of it.

They're 4 square cubes of clear ice and Aldi wants like $5 for them.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago

These work so much better than the unfrozen ice cubes they sold last week.

Americans buy water in plastic jugs??

[–] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 day ago

Not always. Sometimes we buy them in little plastic bottles in packs of 24-48!

[–] ExtraPartsLeft@piefed.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some towns still get water to their houses through leaded pipes. This is the most economical way for those people to get water. Others don't trust their water even if it technically meets EPA standards. And some places just have water that tastes really bad.

Most of America gets water from a tap and maybe filters it.

Until you need like 1000L at once or 10kg of ice.
Go find place in your freezer to cool down 10L of clear ice.
Spoiler: This won't be only 10L of space you will need.

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

But they don't stock 10l of them. 10l of ice has always been available in like the freezer in the front of a store. For parties and shit.

Ultra pure slow melting.... ok... it melts just like regular water

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Extra micro plastics infused for the smooth slower melt

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Though if you're using a plastic ice cube tray to make ice cubes, there's a good chance you're bringing your own microplastics.

Source: got a metal ice cube tray and noticed that weird "old ice" flavour and subtle sheen on the drink surface as it melted is no longer there.

Is this a freezing kit or actual ice? Because freezing your own ice that looks like that can be difficult.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It appears to be in the freezer so I'd say it's 100% actual ice.
