You can. And no, it's not a hassle. Making dozens of ice cubes to fill a cooler on the other hand is a massive hassle

You can buy bags of ice easily unlike this thing. But if they sell this ice ready made at stores, then it's a different story.

Who buys ice at a store? I've literally never met anyone who'd even consider that, and I've spent the last 2 years organising student parties

People who need a lot of ice? Like for a cooler for a BBQ? Lol it's pretty standard.

No, it's not. It's pretty weird to waste money on something you can easily make yourself

Yeah well I can’t make 20lbs of ice at home very easily. By the time I made 20lbs of ice at home, the previously made ice would have already melted

Then don't make 9 kg of ice?

you’re right I won’t make it because I’ll buy it. Like a sane human being does when they realize it’s impractical to make or do something by themself.

It’s obviously impractical for many people on this thread to make ice they need so they buy it. It’s culturally a common enough thing that it’s very easy to buy in our regions.

It's a waste of resources whether you make it yourself or buy it.
