Ice sinks to a new low!


K and I were shopping in what we thought was our local conscientious grocery store when I spotted Genets' IceRocks. Inside the cardboard box are vacuum formed ice trays containing spring water that's hermetically sealed beneath a plastic peel-off top. Just freeze, peel, serve, and waste! How gross! And what's worse folks is that this is not another diabolically ignorant company from our own republic. Do not be fooled by their name, the Water Bank of America, these people are Canadians! Socialists! Their mission is some bullshit about preventing traveller's diarrhea (no pun intended) and providing clean water to those without. From the looks of the packaging and website, this is among the most effete and wasteful luxury products I've ever seen. Obviously these guys are not reading about our plastic waste epidemic due to bottled water consumption. (Poor Seventh Generation paper plates got stuck on the bottom shelf in the photo.) I'll take dysentery over this any day.
