Luxury... ice?

In a world where people are buying the stupidest products for obscene amounts of money, I have undoubtedly found the product that tops this list. Luxury ice. Yes, Gläce Luxury Ice, is selling luxury ice cubes and spheres for $8 a piece. Warning, if you ask your parents for $325 to buy this bag of ice, they may slap you! Rightfully so!

So basically fancy snowballs for $325.

When ice trays simply won't cut it... Anyway for the relevancy of this article, these ice spheres are made using chemistry! So each sphere is hand carved from an extremely large ice block therefore this is a waste of time and money. These ice blocks are frozen from the outside in. Woo phase changes! The center of the ice is constantly agitated so that gases will escape. Then when the block is almost completely frozen, the middle is cut out and inserted with frozen layers.  

And this gives you "tasteless" ice! Which we apparently didn't have before...?

So study chemistry in college and you can charge people $325 for ice. Watch out for their hot (buh dum tsss) new product, luxury water! Only $50 per bottle! Just in case your parents haven't slapped you yet.
