File this one under stupid. The Water Bank of America, Inc. will soon be offering ice trays that are hermetically sealed with spring water. There is currently no stated price, but Ice Rocks will come in packs of 4, 24, 48 and an economy size that holds 200 cubes.
Now I have to wonder about the real demand for this. The price will surely be jacked up. If you really need frozen spring water, couldn’t you just buy a cheap bottle of water (like say under $1) and fill some ice trays on your own? I daresay you could.

Ah nice. Hermetically sealed flies. That’d be classic.

I was rather hoping someone would go after the packages with tiny syringe that would inject juuuust enough yellow food coloring…

Or the yellow cube for that matter.

Well, for the record, I thought bottled water was stupid. So who knows, this could be huge!!

It’s incredibly stupid, and yet, so amazingly futuristic-looking XD I love it, not that I’d ever BUY it. (the best is the packs of 4…if you’re going to be using springwater ice cubes, wouldn’t you want to use only that? In which case, what on earth are 4 ice cubes going to do for you?)

Well the people who would be buying four could use them to cool their pampered and over-privileged foreheads.

This is so ridiculous, especially when you consider that most “spring” water is actually “tap” water. Regulations surrounding spring water are laughable at best.

Since I doubt these will be frozen when you buy them, the warm, wet environment is perfect for bacteria growth.
Can you say… E. coli?

I live in the United States and the quality of our water won’t kill you but tastes really yucky. It comes from the muddy Mississippi My son’s water at college was even worse. I know the residents of the town were used to it, but we sure weren’t We aren’t yuppies or rich by any means, but bottled water is cheap and affordable. less than $5 for a 10 gallon bottle. and for me a means to cut back on Diet Pepsi (lol)
I found this site while looking for ice rocks that actually look like rocks (a gag), and at all the blogs I’ve seen, the thought of a tourist product didn’t cross my mind. I would find it comforting bringing some with me on a trip to Mexico or some other country. Hey they thought disposable cameras was dumb once also.
You won’t find me buying any until then though unless as I said one that looked like real rocks. OK OK I probably watched Roger Rabbit once too often
