im wondering if i we could patent the idea and mass produce them. we could contact all the soda/drink companies and tell them about the idea and see if we could somehow make sum $ off of it

/entreprenuership (pretty sure i spelled that wrong lol)

Hey i just wanted to remind everyone who going to GA to plan on bringing the following:

$30 for gas
$50 for something going wrong with a car and money to pitch in to help pay for anything needed
$xxx for food

= $80 + $xxx TOTAL

Also, bring a pillow and covers. Bring an extra controller(just in case you lose yours or it breaks).

I'm sure we could try. But the companies would steal our idea and do it themselves. So we would have to do it ourselves.

Also. How would we mass produce flavored ice for drinks? Like popsicles? But small.

Wait so you want to make money from freezing mountain dew into ice cubes then putting it in more mountain dew. Thats redundant. js.

No caps, the idea i explained after McD's was to:


Create ice cubes that are flavored whatever you're drinking, ie if you're drinking hawaiian punch, the ice cubes are hawiian punch flavored so when you're out of drink, or at a ff resteraunt, the ice melts into a cold drink.

Though, the idea of getting Hawaiian Punch cubes and putting them in lemonade or something of that nature, it defintely there. The options are limitless.

I remember making something freshman year in college that was like, frozen orange juice, vodka was involved... i dont remember what we did.
I got the idea from drinking a lemonade at Wendys one day (omw to school) 3 sips in, all ice. insert rage.

one main reason for flavored ice cubes vs normal ice cubes:

normal ice cubes melt = watered down drink

flavored ice cubes melt = MORE of your delicious drink + no watering down

but if u want a cold drink with ice in it, then wouldnt u prefer to have flavored ice cubes instead of normal ones just so ur drink doesnt get watered down? sounds pretty good to me

being redundant doesnt necessarily make it bad

Oh im sorry that when i get a cold drink i drink it and dont let it sit there until it waters down. All im saying is that its not a good idea for everyone if it was a good idea it would already be big. You guys arent the first people in history to think of that. When you make flavored ice cubes the true genius is making it a different flavor that your drink.

The pet rock was a bad idea and it's big.

Also, Yeah the OJ ice cubes worked out.
Just get an ice tray and put OJ in there. You have to leave it in for a while, since it's not just water the freezing level is higher.



Also Caps, what if you're on the run and want to bring a drink with you? You can't get a new drink while you're driving, flavored ice cubes give you more time to enjoy your drink.

The pet rock was big in the early 80's for like a week.

And if im on the run then im prolly drinkin my drink fast anyway.

And im not on the run and its not a good idea so quit trying to make it seem like one.

Here's my imo.

standing from a mass production point of view, I dont see it as cost effective. I can see they would have no problem producing mass quantities, but I cant see it being satisfactory. Companies would have to employ a way to keep mtn dew ice cubes frozen during transit, which would invoke a new cost they never had before. If you've ever seen a soda vendor restock trucks, theyre actually kept at room temperature. To pay for the extra refrigeration, they would have to drive up the cost of their soda. After all, it takes way less gas to keep a truck at room temperature than keep it below zero degrees. The other option would be to produce the ice at the place of dining. It should not impact labor cost too heavily, but then the facility has to have of means of keeping up with demand during rush. They also would have a hard time storing it . ice is prone to absorbing flavors of stuff it's stored with.

When a carbonated beverage freezes, it causes the co2 to dissipate. So when it melts into your drink, it will cause it to go flat much more quickly. But I dont see that being a problem for say, hawaiian punch or lemonade.

Tl;dr expensive massively, fun at home.

Since I'm a mega genius I'll break this down.

I haven't made flavored ice cubes in years for a couple reasons.

A chilled drink with no ice is better, no ****ing speedbumps (the ice cubes) to get in the way.

When liquid is frozen it expands, so putting the cubes in your glass gets you less drink alltogether, so the fact that they melt later and give you "more drink". You're actually still shy of breaking even, you just have to wait longer for all of your drink.

Both Gallax and Mink's cars are full unfortunately.


Guys I proposed this in the CEO thread, but what would you think of me making a thread specifically for FL carpooling. It'll require some cooperation from drivers in the state though so I want to know if drivers are up for the idea. It'll help make things a LOT more organized.
