Title: Ice
Post by: CHONGS on July 18, 2014, 02:23:22 PM
Ice is just great great stuff.  One of the most useful things ever. I mean, think about strange life would be with no ice.  Or even more interesting is that water expands when it freezes!  Not many things do that!  Can you imagine if the opposite were true?  You will fill your glass with ice and delicious beverage to the brim and then as the ice melted it spilled over the side of your glass?  That would be terrible.

I love soft ice. Like the kind at Sonic and Taco Via. But I hate ice when it's on the ground  :nono:

Not a fan.  Personally I would rather water just got super super cold but stayed liquid.

Not all ice is created equal, either.  You want to buy ice from the places that keep it at like 10 or 20 degrees below 0 (F).  Some places are cheap and it's only like 10 or 20 deg F which don't represent near as big of a calorie deficit from a beverage cooling perspective.

Ice makes cold drinks even better.  Pour a can of Pepsi over ice even though it's already been chilling in the fridge?  You're damn right I do.

Is your aluminum can of High Life getting a bit too toasty?  Pour that sucker in a glass with cubes of solid water and rescue your refreshment.

Hey guys and gals, looking for a diet tip?  Ice is a great negative calorie food!  Yes it is!

Also think about how awesome it is that ice floats!  Amazing stuff!

Or it would sink to the bottom of the ocean ('cause density) causing the ocean temperature to keep dropping and freeze the entire world.

i really like how ice gets porous or something after a while in a liquid and then you can chew it and it chews just right, not too hard and brittle like fresh ice.


chingon, please explain the science of ice textures.

You know how sometimes your ice cubes fuse together in your glass leading to a hilarious pour-crap-all-over-your-face moment? Or how that bag of ice in your freezer becomes one huge ice block, causing you to take an ice pick to it and accidentally poke a hole in your freezer? Well, that's a result of a process called sintering, and it's the same process used in industrial applications to mold metals, such as Tungsten, that have extremely high melting points without actually having to heat the material to said melting point.

YES!  My son loves ice and will wait until the ice is shrunken/softer then come over and grab it right out of an unattended glass.  Sometimes he will ask for ice.

I always rinse off my ice before using it. The outer layer of ice collects odorants from the fridge and freezer.

How did he get into the ice business, are you heir to an ice kingdom, is it just a giant freezer and they put the ice into little bags, who wants to work in this giant freezer, does he own ice trucks, how do they make ice on an industrial level, do they have a super freezer that turns water to ice in like 5 minutes........I could go on forever

Worked in the packaged ice business in Wichita, eventually said eff it, I can do this better than these assholes. If we end up inheriting the business, I would just sell it off, it's an owner/operator type biz...too many hours (would be worth a pretty nice chunk of change though). They have a giant ice making apparatus that freezes water into sheets very quickly (not totally sure on number of minutes, but it's fast). When the sheets drop, they break, and then an auger breaks the ice into smaller pieces and shuttles it onto a conveyor belt where it's separated into seven/twenty pound portions and dropped into bags. So, the machine does most of the work, but he hires a bunch of migrant workers to put the bags on pallets and then move them into cold storage rooms at the plant. Then his drivers ride out in his fleet of trucks to carry all this beautiful ice to an adoring public.

High school physics teacher once explained that how if water didn't turn to ice at normal temperatures and expand then life on Earth never would have started.  I don't remember the explanation, but I have always appreciated ice ever since.
