Ever heard of ice cubes that don’t melt? They’re little plastic cubes in pastel colors that are filled with some kind of liquid.
In theory, you put them in the freezer and use the cute little cubes to keep your drink cold longer. But do you suppose that’s reality?
Of course not. This is reality:
You put the cubes in the freezer. When you want them, you have to hunt low and lower, because gravity takes over and all things small and tiny fall through the cracks, so to speak. When you do find one, it’s covered with the juice of a popsicle that hasn’ frozen yet (the kind that come in plastic tubes as juice), or yeast, or some of the other “grossies” you find in freezers. (Or is it just our freezer that’s like that?) You rinse it, then decide it was gross enough to wash it with soap. Finally, you drop the fake cube(s) into your drink. Exhausted, you take a sip, only to find that not only is your water still warm, but it tastes like Dawn. You really knew you should’ve gotten the apple-scented Palmolive instead, instead of the Dawn that smells like dirty socks, a scent which they call “original”.
I know from experience–you’re better off with “old-fashioned” water ice cubes.
