if i saw these i'd leave them in the bread section
Why don't they just put these things into the ocean and solve global warming?
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
Bad news, everybody!
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.
These work so much better than the unfrozen ice cubes they sold last week.
We need to kill the billionaires and their politicians sooner than immediately right now
Why would I buy frozen ice cubes? I have no time to microwave, I'd rather buy fresh ones
I have fresh ice cubes every day, so I literally had a tap of the stuff installed in my kitchen.
You need to try the grass fed free range ice cubes.
I remember when buying bottled water seemed ridiculous.
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.
It still does to me
When it's 2 for $1 or something it's fine if you're out. This crap where they filter it pure then add back in the same shit shit took out and charge you $25 is insane.
Wait until the find out about refrigerators
If you are into fancy looking cocktails this product makes sense. Making clear ice cubes at home is not easy.
It emphatically is easy... But a clear ice mold for the less than 5 dollars and make unlimited cubes.
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.
If you are into making fancy cocktails then you can get into making fancy ice
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.
SMH my head, of course you should be making the duct tape yourself 🙂↔️
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.
I think I did it wrong, I ended up with an apple pie.
Shit, what do I do now? I think I've just become God of my own pocket universe.
Edit: I watched The magicians once, but most of what they did didn't seem to work out.

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.
No this is bunk.
The answer is directional freezing. Put the mold for the thing you want to be clear in a small cooler (or buy an insulated mold thing), be sure there is a hole in the bottom, fill it with water and put it in your deep freezer. Voilà clear ice for whatever purpose.
You don't need to agitate it or boil it or use special water, just use physics and you're all set.

Ultra pure slow melting.... ok... it melts just like regular water
Extra micro plastics infused for the smooth slower melt
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.
The old ice flavor is bacterial biofilm on the plastic tray, metal is easier to clean
Any nutritional value to that biofilm?
It's to minimize surface area, making water dilution in cocktails a slower process. An ice sphere would be ideal for this but it's better than ice from your freezer in that specific task.
Probably a true claim, because surface area
I thought these were reusable freeze packs made to look like ice cubes. It's actual ice...
"Enlarged to show detail"?? Wow
