It astounds me the absolute rubbish that marketing people come up with to try and sell you their product. How is that physically possible? As far as im aware, ice is not porous, and even if it is, the second any liquid comes into contact with the ice it is going to start melting and it is going to melt even faster even more so if the ice IS porous, as the liquid now has more surface area to come in contact with. That is going to dilute your drink even quicker, which means a watery drink, not one with absorbed flavour.
