You crack a cube while trying to be fancy? Don’t stress. Frozen water is cheap. You can always start over. This isn’t rocket science; it’s frozen science.
Even cloudy cubes still cool your drink. And they melt slower than crushed ice, so your soda won’t get watery in five seconds. Every imperfect cube is still a victory.
Plus, you can always use your mistakes to refreeze them into a big block for your cooler. Ice never judges you. Ice is forgiving.
