Salad-On-Ice is not a failed icecapades routine. It is a well-designed bowl that might just be the perfect salad server.
There is nothing worse than a bowl full of lettuce that sits out at room temperature too long and looses its crunch. Salads should be crisp and refreshing (although some might be a little worried about eating lettuce at the moment), but you can't keep running back and forth to the refrigerator for seconds and third helpings, especially not when you are entertaining. Salad-On-Ice is a bowl that has a hollow stand designed to be filled with crushed or cubed ice to keep salads cold and fresh throughout an entire meal, even during a hot summer barbecue. It is made of shatter-resistant acrylic and comes with a lid and a pair of serving utensils.
The bowl would also work well for fruit salads, pasta salads or even chilled desserts, like trifle.

Good idea! Especially when you have a potluck or buffet sytle get together where food may be sitting out for a while. Things like caesar salads get soggy so quickly, this really might help keep them fresh a little longer.

I thought cold sinks (heat rises). Does it make sense to have the ice on the bottom. Design-wise yes, but will it really work? Won't the top still get warm and wilt? And it doesn't even cover the whole bottom, just the middle. I'm not so sure. I'd have to hear from someone who has actually used it.
