Talk:Ice cube

I'm notfart if others share my sentiment, but I don't think the word "darky" is appropriate for this situation. NSD Student 17:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)NSD Student

Article said: "Domestic ice cubes will sometimes precipitate white flakes as they melt." I removed "domestic" which in the context of this article means home made, because I don't see why where the cubes are made should make a difference. If anyone has a reason, please clarify.

India

"In India and other parts of the world, it has traditionally been viewed as unhealthy to drink a libation with ice. Many older Indians still refuse to use it." Are these people insane? Do they really think frozen water is unhealthy? Or has ice been traditionally use with unhealthy drinks, such as alcohol, in India? Also, what do the mean by "drinks" when talking about Americans? Not every drink traditionally calls for ice, including milk and most juices. Captain Jackson 16:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I spent close to 19 years in India, and the closest thing to that statement I can think of is when my grandmother "yelled" at us kids for sneaking too much ice. Something to do with sore throats, brain-freezes and leaving empty ice-trays... Seriously, I don't think "older Indians" have any problem with ice. It's a tropical coutry, for crying out loud: ice is a bloody godsend in the summer. That statement needs a citation or something. --69.158.73.96 15:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

It's because clean water is very hard to find in India... I don't trust restaurants and shit when I go there unless I'm in a big city. Even then, I heard over here it's bad too, so who knows. I've made it a habit to not use ice unless I know it's been made with filtered water.

"ice cube" and "Ice Cube"

I feel strongly that "ice cube" should redirect to the rapper. Who's looking for information about ice cubes?? 72.28.142.217 01:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

We got an issue. When people search for the rapper "Ice Cube", they have to type it with correct grammar, not just in lowercase, like most people would. I think we should make a contents page for "ice cubes". for an example on the content page type in "the game"... --Taurus8 sam 02:48, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge

"Ice cube tray" definitely should be merged with this. --Scaryice 11:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

They've been merged. However this is my first merge, so it may be a bit sloppy. --Dangherous 11:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

iron

Here's something to research: I eat icecubes all the time and am addicted to them. They also soothe my stomach when it is sore. My doctor told me that one reason why I crave ice so much may be that I have a shortage of iron in me. She said ice cubes contain a lot of iron and that is why I eat them. I don't understand how this can be true. If you have knowledge on this issue, please write something about it here or on my user discussion page. --Daffy100 02:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Possible non-NPOV

"Generally, people would rather have the "cube" style ice cube, but the cresent shapes are less subject to getting stuck in the dispenser." This appears to be a POV statement (the bolded part, at least), and as such I have rewritten (diff) the sentence; if anyone can verify that this is in fact true, please feel free to reinclude the information along with the appropriate citations. --Kyra_~(talk) 12:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

ICE CUBE TRAYS

We would like to know, why do my icecubes turn into shards of ice instead of normal ice cubes? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shellydee (talk • contribs) 22:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC).
