So, your ice cubes taste funny because they are alive with memories. Literally. They remember the garlic, the fish, and the minerals. They are tiny, frozen sponges of your freezer’s history. The next time you sip and grimace, just laugh. You’re tasting the story of your kitchen.
And if you really can’t stand it? Just buy bagged ice. It’s made with filtered water and industrial freezers. It’s aggressively boring. And that is the perfect flavor for your drink. Mystery solved. Now go enjoy a cube that tastes like nothing at all.
