Nordic Rock: Stone Ice Cubes
I kid you not. These are rocks. For sale. To put in your drinks. Um, they’re reusable. When people say “on the rocks” you’ll have a conversation starter that’s quite possibly amazing.
Supposedly made from “pollution free base rock” which means nothing to me, if you’re a rock guy/gal or geologist or just have a lot of free time – feel free to check up on that for me. I have my doubts. You do get ten of them for the price. Which is in pounds and translates to roughly 25 bucks I think. It’s math though, and I’m not doing it literally.
In any case, they do work. They get cold in the freezer. They even come with a leather bag so you can bring your own rocks when you go out. And hey, I bet they get through airport security okay.
Sometimes, things are so strange I love them. I’m just not sure if this is hitting the zone or not. Thoughts? [ Nordic Rock: Stone Ice Cubes ]

Creepy yet intriguing. My father was a geologist; not sure if he would’ve gotten a kick out of these or not.

Somehow, dropping rocks into a glass doesn’t seem like a good idea.

I think that all comes down to velocity and force. Perhaps safety goggles?

I cannot imagine that these would be very easy to clean. The stone appears to be porous. Wouldn’t you need to be very careful that they stayed sanitary?

Gin. Gin cleans everything. Eventually!!
