Well, I really didn’t have this on the bingo card
Ice is appearing everywhere, from iced drinks to ice sculptures, all at once.
While this ice trend is mostly about harmless fun, the growing prevalence of drought and water insecurity point to a future where ice will be at an ever-greater premium. https://t.co/QjhDVgWwmr

It’s always something with these people
(Axios) Ice — in exotically shaped cubes, boozy popsicles or suffusing your coffee — is having its moment in the zeitgeist.
Why it matters: During a record hot summer when icebound places are melting rapidly, it makes sense that ice — a commodity we take for granted until it grows scarce — has turned chic.
“There’s this trend of people trying to be more sophisticated about how they keep their drinks cool,” Leana Salamah of the International Housewares Association tells Axios.
Driving the news: Ice is popping up everywhere, all at once:
Let’s look at that list
- Cocktail culture has embraced giant ice spheres, mini-cubes and novelty shapes (like bulldogs, skulls and pineapples).
- Bartenders and party hosts are freezing flowers into their cubes, while parents are freezing small toys into ice squares for their kids to crack open.
- Appliance maker LG has trademarked the term “Craft Ice,” referring to the 2-inch orbs that its newest lines of refrigerators cough out.
- Elaborate ice sculptures — sometimes with fancy LED light backdrops — are showing up at weddings, corporate events and elsewhere.
- Coffee purveyors from Dunkin’ to Starbucks to Tim Hortons are pushing iced drinks for fall — pour me a frosty pumpkin latte! — amid evidence that younger slurpers prefer their brew cold.
ZOMG, special ice! You damned elitists. I remember having trays you filled with water and put in the freezer that had special shape back when I was a kid in the 70’s. Anyhow, this is a ridiculously long and silly article on ice. Ice. Really. Because the Credentialed Media refuses to investigate Democrats, government, and real issues, because so many who are “journalists” and are in charge got their degrees from high end colleges where they went with the children of the rich and powerful.
Where it stands: Designer ice has become “the height of domestic luxury,” per The New York Times.
The bottom line: While the fancy ice trend is mostly about harmless fun, the growing prevalence of drought and water insecurity point to a future where ice will be at an ever-greater premium.
In other words, using ice makes you privileged.
They had 500 words to hit before the deadline and there was no way they were going to touch biden’s inflation, or his 50 year history of government corruption.
The biggest pushes on inflation are
#1 Energy prices (controlled by our great friends the Russians and Saudis) despite record high domestic production
#2. Record high corporate profits
#3. Rising wages Up 5% due to the tight labor market with 3% unemployment
The worst inflation around 7% is in FL
The states with the lowest ? West Coast and the Northeast. All part of the SOROS plan

Hat tip for ‘Pups.
I swear everything that H comments on is so psychotically inaccurate defies the imagination. He must get all his facts from the American communist party’s newspapers or CNN, either one is nothing but socialist rubbish.
At least he was semi-lucid this time. Some times he comments here and is either stoned or off his meds.
wait.. have they never had ice before? Have they never heard of ice before?
