If you are into fancy looking cocktails this product makes sense. Making clear ice cubes at home is not easy.
If you are into making fancy cocktails then you can get into making fancy ice
One step at a time
Is this a freezing kit or actual ice? Because freezing your own ice that looks like that can be difficult.
It appears to be in the freezer so I'd say it's 100% actual ice.
That's absolutely why it's being sold. I bet some high end bars just purchase ice like this in bulk. Not surprising they thought there would be a consumer market for fancy ice as well.
Here's a video showing how it's made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET8mqVGDQ1s
Sweet, thanks for this, I was curious but had never researched.
Fancy ice is definitely a thing, you can do it at home but not that easily
"Enlarged to show detail"?? Wow
Title of your sex tape
My store also have Unfrozen Ice Cubes
Some filks apparently don't know you can buy a 20lb bag of ice for like, a dollar, outside of every gas station.
$5 for four cubes?!? Maybe if they were as big as my cooler.
Welcome to the new Golden Age
If the packaging is a reusable mold then this makes sense.
Tell me more about how freezing water is the end of civilization.
Just because people are paying a premium for it doesn't make it any worse than the bags of ice at the grocery store.
Ice was one of the first things humans used to keep things cold, and was super important on the path to refrigeration and freezing.
While I know a lot of technologies are overused, and capitalism twists them to disgusting ends, but refrigeration is a massive boon for making food last longer. Most American families just have ones far larger than they need and as such they end up wasting food instead of getting fresh food regularly and using it all up before it goes bad in the fridge. I personally enjoy a small fridge.
Also, freezers and refrigeration are an integral part of the medical sciences.
Anyway, personal opinion, this is pretty innocuous compared to like, jet travel between Seattle and Portland.

I have two regular-sized ice cube trays from the same people, that I’ve been using for the last six years or so, and they are perfectly satisfactory. FWIW
