<p><em>Ballin</em>&#8216;!! Destined to be <em>the</em> leader in the &#8216;premium ice market&#8217; &#8211; a market that DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST &#8211; <a title="Link to Glace Ice Co." href="http://www.glace-ice.com/">Gläce Luxury Ice Co.</a> makes &#8216;perfectly spherical&#8217; 2.5&#8243; spherical ice cubes. Because most ice that the rest of us plebeians are forced to put in our beverages contain &#8216;minerals, additives, and other pollutants&#8217;, the &#8216;cubes&#8217; are made out of purified water so as not to soil your Appletini or fine chardonnay with an off flavor.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget that the spherical shape of Gläce Luxury Ice &#8220;&#8230;<em>allows differentiation for those consuming a premium drink from those with less discerning tastes</em>.&#8221; That means that you can drop one of these babies into your 600 year-old single-malt Glen-named scotch and feel confident enough to look down your nose and scoff at anyone in the bar who has used multiple square ice cubes (*snort*) to cool their beverages. Oh, the underclasses and their shoddy cooling ingredients!</p>
<p>Honestly, I have nothing against spherical ice and have used the homemade variety before but did I mention that five of the Gläce Luxury Ice spheres run $40? That is <em>$8 a piece</em> for those unwilling to do the math. We can&#8217;t all have the superior taste that <a rel="lightbox[glace]" href="http://www.bigplastichead.com/images/one_offs/douche01.jpg">this gentleman</a> (<a rel="lightbox[glace]" href="http://www.bigplastichead.com/images/one_offs/douche02.jpg">or this gentleman</a>) obviously has but an eight dollar hunk of frozen water in our heavily marketed premium vodka will inform others that you do indeed have a superior palate and that you yourself are &#8220;ballin&#8217;&#8221; above those around you.</p>
<p>Or you can just <a title="Link to sperical ice trays" href="http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Spherical%20Ice%20Tray%20Set_10451_10001_57253">go buy these for $16</a> and make all you want&#8230;</p>
