Also, the amount of packaging involved in individually wrapping ice cubes is absurd. The environmental impact of the shipping would not be insubstantial either. Having your premium ice contribute to people in the developing world struggling to get drinkable water via exacerbating global warming and pollution is dark.

Molecularly dense don't mean anything. And it does have a taste. If it is deionized water, it doesn't taste great. Minerals are what makes water not taste bad.

I’d be suspicious of molecularly dense ice. One of the neat things about water is that it’s less dense as a solid than a liquid and so ice cubes float in water. (Most things are denser when they are solid) So dense ice is probably water, but I wouldn’t chance it in case they’ve put something else in those packages for “density”.

Excellent point. I've heard of "heavy water," which is used in scientific research. So now I just found some articles on a website called ThoughtCo about it. It is denser than normal water because in each molecule, its two hydrogen atoms both have a neutron that does not occur in the hydrogen atoms of ordinary water. This makes heavy water denser than ordinary water, and heavy water ice denser than ordinary ice. While heavy water ice floats in heavy water, it sinks in ordinary water. And yeah - heavy water can make you sick if you ingest too much of it, but supposedly a little bit will not hurt you. I'm not going to try it, though.

This is a comedy thing, right? Like when Pepsi Co started taking out the “sweet brown sparkly soda part” and sold their water as bottled for twice the price of a can of soda? Which is .50 cents a can in some places. Frozen cubes of water? “Luxury Ice?” Rich people will have a premium water system that’s going to create great ice cubes. I mean for $6 a cube you can save up and get a heckuva system. This has got to be a joke. No sane person would buy ice that way.
