Restaurant to charge for "artisanal" ice cubes

ugh, what a waste of money! 💸 I mean, come on, you're paying an extra buck for ice cubes? 🤣 I get that it's supposed to be some kind of luxury, but newsflash: ice is just... ice. You can buy it at the store for like 50 cents a pop and make your own at home with a blender! 😂 I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, the fact that they're charging extra for it or that people are actually going to pay it. It's just a bunch of hipster nonsense if you ask me 🙄.
 
I'm not sure if it's really about the ice cube itself or what it represents... I mean, think about it, we're willing to pay extra for something just because it's a unique experience, right? It's like, is that really what we value most in life - the novelty of having something new and different, no matter how small it may seem? Or are we just paying to feel special, to be part of some exclusive club?

And then there's the question of authenticity. Does this bespoke ice cube really make a difference in terms of taste or quality? Is it worth $1 extra on top of an already pricey cocktail? I think what's interesting is how we're willing to justify the expense and elevate something as mundane as drinking water into a luxury item.

It's like, when did we start valuing experiences over substance? Are we more concerned with feeling sophisticated than actually enjoying the thing we're consuming?
 
I MEAN COME ON WHO IS GOING TO PAY AN EXTRA DOLLAR FOR A HAND-CUT ROCK IN THEIR COCKTAIL????!!! IT'S JUST ICE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! YOU CAN GET THE SAME THING AT ANY OLD FROZEN DRINK JOINT FOR LIKE 50 CENTS!!!! IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF RICH PEOPLE TRYING TO SHOW OFF AND MAKE EVERYTHING MORE "ARTISANAL" AND EXPENSIVE THAN IT NEEDS TO BE!!!!!! I MEAN IF YOU WANT TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR A COCKTAIL, FINE, BUT PLEASE DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN THE RESTAURANT GETS ALL RICH AND STUFFY!!! 😂💸
 
🙄 I mean, who needs an extra dollar when you can just use tap water? It's not like anyone's drinking enough anyway 😂. But hey, if you want to pay more for a fancy ice cube that's basically just purified water with some hand-cut rocks in it... that's your prerogative 🤷‍♀️. I guess what really gets me is that the bartender calls it "hand-cut" rock, like it's some kind of artisanal sculpture or something. Newsflash: it's just ice 💧. And honestly, if I'm drinking a cocktail, I don't care if my drink comes with an ice cube or not 🍹. But hey, if you want to shell out extra cash for the experience of having a fancy ice cube... go for it 😎.
 
I mean, who needs their money when you can have a fancy ice cube, right? 🤷‍♀️ Like, what's next? Charging extra for air in your drink? It's not like it's going to make that much of a difference, but hey, if you want to break the bank on an ice cube, I guess Second State is the place to go. The real question is, who exactly thought this was a good idea and said "yaaas, let's charge people extra for artisanal ice cubes"? 🤔
