A mash-up of selling ice to eskimos and sand to arabs.

Maybe it’s the stuff with the ancient deadly viruses in it.
Wouldn’t that be a hoot?!

I’m starting to wonder if the climate change cultist have some kind of erotic love for ice. Why all the love for what is essentially lifeless water? Mining ice from a glacier is nothing to worry about.

HELLO! They are using ice which would melt due to climate change causing oceans to rise and moving to thirsty people in the desert thus preventing the ocean levels from rising! A Win-Win.

They are taking extreme precautions but they can always do more. For a reasonable fee, I will be willing to certify the ice as non-GMO. I think I have the scientific chops to do this.

Just put ‘sustainable’ ‘transgenderous’ ‘equitable’ all over the label. It will be the first, official woke ice.

Why complain? They’re negating global warming by sending arctic ice to Dubai - cools the Middle East. Send more arctic ice, save the world.

Is it true that liberals are flaming mad over stores and places that serve iceberg lettuce?

There was an episode of What’s My Line back in the mid-late 60’s where the business was precisely this one.

I was scratchin my head over this
by using icebergs that would otherwise melt into the ocean, it is preventing the ice from contributing to rising sea levels.

The Japanese did it in the 80’s when they were walkin’ all over us.
