Ice Rocks Asks: Just How Lazy are We?
![Ice Rocks [blog]](/water/images/blog/icerox_blog.jpg)
Plastic bottles aren’t the only frivolous packaging of water available to consumers anymore. Now, you can buy your water in a tray.
These Ice Rocks, or pre-packaged trays (complete with the water already sealed inside!), are currently available to supermarkets and the hotel and tourist trade from the Water Bank of America (WBOA), but soon will become available in family packs.
The ‘Secured Spring Water Ice Cubes’ actually aren’t ice at all. Because the water in the trays is delivered in liquid form, WBOA claims you are saving money because the delivery trucks do not need to be refrigerated. Wait, wouldn’t you save a lot more money by making your own ice in the first place?
It is the hope of WBOA that Ice Rocks will be, in the future, what bottled water is now – a daily habit for most consumers. However, since we’ve learned the quality of bottled water is usually no better than that from your tap, we probably can’t count on Ice Rocks to be any better. Factor in the production of plastic trays with the cost and question of quality and the output is glaring – one ridiculous product.

BUT I found your site while watching Roger rabbit with my son. I would like to find something similar that actually looks like a rock. If you aren't familiar with the movie Roger Rabbit, it is a live animation combo, and the setting is toon town. The main character orders a scotch on the rocks and has to shout after the cartoon penguin waiter that he means ice. Well of course his drink comes with real rocks.
Since we are quite literal at our house (three of us are affected with Aspergers Syndrome), my husband loves to play with words. We actually gave our grown son a bucket of coal for Christmas, they were candy licorice flavored rocks. This word play and use of puns is essential for teaching Aspies what the rest of the world really means.
I agree I don't know why one would use these ice rocks as a total replacement for ice either, but at times I can understand not wanting to dilule a drink. My husband laughs when someone orders scotch and water, because he thinks it just ruins the taste of the scotch. He's the one we want to pull or little switch on even though he is not much of a drinker
