Buy once. Use forever.
It makes sense if you’ve ever tried to make ice like that yourself. It’s harder than it sounds
36 hours of freezing, only 1/3 of the batch is usable, then sawing and shaping into cube of desirable size. If you have lots of disposable income and hosting a party, chance is you will get this $5 icecube than make it yourself. Seems like the business model make sense to me.
Yes, this video demonstrates my point exactly.
For Negronis and other cocktails I’m guessing
for what
For Necrosis and other cock tails!
Calm down
Yeah but it’s like $7USD to just buy the mold to freeze your own. This may or may not come with a reusable mold but my guess is that folk will just use it as disposable which is a metaphor for modern society.
The molds are pretty notorious for sucking
Honestly I see these being super useful stocked at a decent liquor store for when you’re hosting company. But at ALDI? Seems like the wrong market. I shop at ALDI, I’d buy these once to have with my scotch for a novelty. But not regularly.
Slow melting? Its going to melt at the same rate as any other ice cube… unless its not just water… yeah, I’ll give that a hard pass
Clear ice actually does melt more slowly: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J7t97Qp89aE
At that point, why not just buy a permanent reusable solution like whiskey stones?
Sure, maybe you like your drink watered down, but then JUST USE YOUR ICE MAKER or water down your drink.
I think people are buying these for the subjective aesthetics
Whiskey stones didn’t chill things as much as ice does. Something about the physics of having the cold melted water mix with the drink, or something idk I’m not a physicist.
I saw these at my aldis this week too.
I only found it funny since I have not seen fried or any either variation of ice cubes.
And freedom costs $1.05.
This is either the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen or it has some use for someone well above my pay grade.
Could they make some faceted like a diamond and perfectly clear?
Do they have the technology?
saw these the other week. was like over a dollar a cube. wtf. they are more expensive than the ice cream novelties around them. who the heck is buying this and I mean aldi. not exactly the rich mans grocer.
Ok I saw these and laughed but I was curious Haven’t bought them yet but aldi sometimes carries the weirdest shit
Frozen ice cubes? Are there other types of ice cubes?
They’re perfectly clear. You can’t see them in water. That’s the angle.
I would’ve thought the angle was 90°. Shows what I know I guess.
Yeah but are they imported from Japan?
