Jeez.....Ice. Work in the refrigeration business for a bit and you'll hear the line of bull the ice machine companies spew about the ice from their machines.

"Our ice is clear, and the ice from your freezer at home is cloudy. Our ice is superior because the machine curculates the water over a refrigerated plate, allowing the minerals and such to stay in the trough. Then it's flushed out at the end of the cycle. Ice cubes in trays are cloudy because the minerals stay in the tray."

I pointed out that the ice in the tray froze from the outside inward, causing the ice to crack up inside due to the water contracting after the walls were already frozen. The machine just freezes it in layers, so you don't have that happen to the ice in their machines. Must of hit a nerve, cause they never tried that line on me since.
