This is a weird regional thing. There’s no such obsession here, but we had friends from California visit, and they were telling us all about their fancy ice. Apparently all of their friends, and neighbors, are buying these fancy gourmet ice makers for 1000+ dollars. The ice machines perform all sorts of filtering on the water, and then make specially shaped cubes that allow the ice maker owner to brag about their fancy ice when company comes to visit. They live in a pretty pretentious area, so we weren’t very surprised by this new pretension.
