Gluten free!
That’s Biden’s favourite movie from what I hear.
It’s staggering.
They can overnight express on a jet and really help the climate
I’d think Antarctic ice would be both older and purer, albeit much more expensive to harvest. Unlike Greenland’s, its icebergs start much farther from any infrastructure to support their harvesting. But that distance would also be from any airborne industrial origin pollution, hence greater purity.
I want a chunk that has a frozen P-38 in it.
“fury”
LOL !
Well it’s gonna melt soon anyway.... 😁
Alrighty, then.
How do they know it is 100,000 years old?
Fun and laughter have no place on the Left.
I believe it was Popular Mechanics or one of those magazines that 60 years ago mentioned plans to tow ice bergs from the Antarctic to Arabia for water and irrigation.
It appears that plan was quite popular in the 1970s.
Heck, I’d buy some to chill my Pappy VanWinkle Bourbon!
...the ice destined to chill drinks in glitzy watering holes halfway around the world is taken from icebergs already naturally detached from the glacier and floating in Greenland’s Nuuk fjord.
“Nuuk, Nuuk...”
“Who’s there?”
“Gerghen Kerghen, from across the fjord in Schveeden...”
Reminds one of the old adage about hiking in the mountains of Vermont, "Don't drink the water from clear mountain streams. The moose and bears upstream pee in them.";-)
Wow! Seems ice that old would be stale and moldy. Doesn’t it have best use by date?
