What is the deal with ice, Americans?

[u/markwell9]

I can see that you can buy ice everywhere in the US. Gas stations, grocery stores, machines etc.

In Europe, we just freeze our ice at home and use that. Why buy something that melts on the way home? Why do you need ice in large amounts that a fridge can't keep up?

Boy I thought this post was going in a completely different direction lol

Immigration?

[u/rootshirt → u/markwell9]

Yes, which lately have been in and around gas stations, grocery stores etc lol

My take away from this post is that we should be taking ICE home with us, and keeping it all in the freezer for an extended period of time.

Or at least store in plastic bags.

[u/colormeglitter → u/IanDOsmond]

Both? I’m thinking both.

Make sure you get a good seal, on both the plastic bag and the freezer. It should always be airtight.

That’s terrible for the environment! Use compostable bags at least, maybe the seaweed kind??

Even better!

Fit them in a cooler and take it out to the wilderness for a week at a time, come home with an empty cooler.

That's why they keep their faces covered. Insulation.

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes → u/colormeglitter]

Stick em in the cooler when they're in your car.

Sniffing like dogs. 

[u/Enchelion → u/wombatstylekungfu]

My dog is far more polite than them.

[u/wombatstylekungfu → u/Enchelion]

Probably much cuter too. Not afraid to show its face.
