That must be where my local convenience store gets theirs. Price went up to $8 for twenty pounds. i can't imagine anyone paying that.

So how did they get ownership of the free-floating ice berg chips to do this? Can just anybody go up there & do this?

How many animals peed on that ice in 100,000 years?

And free range!
All they have to do is express ship the ice to me for overnight delivery. I will guarantee overnight turnaround with express shipping to their chosen destination. This might add $5,000/ounce to the cost, but for the intended customers, the higher price is a feature, not a bug, as it adds scarcity value and snob appeal.
I know the certifications need to be large, highly visible and expensive enough to add gravitas. I’m thinking of using real gold foil, but maybe something organic and biodegradable would be better. It only has to last as long as the ice.
It’s all to save the planet, so cost is no object.

I don’t watch those kind of movies so that thought never occurred to me. Hahaha, let’s hope for a Hollywood style situation to develop.

Ok, so they have a picture some people harvesting ice, where’s the proof that what they are selling to foolish A-rabs is actually that same ice?

The other day, a report said that microplasics were found deep in ancient layers, before evil white man made any.
