Ice Rocks is a product line from Canada that is one of the unnecessary products, not to mention one of the most blatant examples of overpackaging, ever. The company sells molds that are filled with water and sealed, ready to be frozen upon purchase or delivery. In other words, they are individually prepacked ice cubes.
What is the point of this? To have "fresh" ice? I have no idea how much these cost, but rest assured that it isn't worth it. If the tap water is too unpalatable to drink in your neck of the woods, buy bottled or, better yet, distilled water and use it to make ice cubes. It will save both time and money.
The company is also working on a product called "Ice Kids," which "[explores] the possibility of putting secured ice cubes, made specifically for children, on the market."

Plus it would be fresh ice, not ice that has been sitting in the tray.

Might these also be geared toward someone going away for a weekend, renting a beach house or going on a picnic, somewhere that you might not have fresh water or ice cube trays right at hand, but wanted to stir up some margaritas or bloodys?

I have a tiny freezer and often take out the ice cube trays to make room for food. I could imagine that I could fit individual cubes here and there, even when I couldn't fit a tray in.

7-14-2006 @2:12PM DAB said... These aren't new. I've seen similar products on TV shows. The point is to keep the ice from melting and diluting your drink, while keeping your drink cold at the same time.
And like Stu said, they're supposed to be good for traveling if you don't want to bring trays with you. I guess some people like that convenience.

It's not meant to stay in the plastic. You're meant to freeze them, open them, remove and use the cubes, and then throw out the plastic package for EACH INDIVIDUAL CUBE.

7-14-2006 @7:06PM druchyun said... American marketing is absolutely genius because they have taught us that anything but bottled water tastes bad. The truth is, aquafina, Dasani and all your generic drinking water brands are filtered tap water. I guess you're paying for the cool bottle, but why don't we just reuse it? They do that in 3rd world countries, but of course we can't do that, that would just be... too germy. Now we can enjoy our "clean" bottled (LA tap) water with our sterile prepackaged ice cubes which brings us one step closer to godliness. Yay, my life is now complete.

"The scotch is ok, but this ice cube could contain the hepatitis virus"
Reply
7-26-2006 @5:25PM Baruch said... The reference to the scotch being OK, but the ice cube being tainted, is not necessarily frivolous. Many serious diseases are transmitted through water (and ice). Alcoholic drinks do *NOT* generally kill these germs. If the alcohol is dilute enough for you to drink it, then it isn't going to sterilize your drink. Even pure alcohol won't kill all disease germs.
It still might be a spoof...
