Somewhat related interesting fact, the UK ice market is dominated by one player who has brought out almost all other manufacturers, The Ice Co.

This is a good article from a couple of years ago about them: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2020/dec/10/super-cubes-ins...

They have created a few "innovative" products, such as larger "clearer" ice cubes for cocktails - related to TFA - by spraying water into super cooled upside-down moulds.



Sounds like similar tech to the Kold-Draft machines in the US market.[1] During the height of the pandemic one of my neighborhood bars was selling bags of their cubes to stay afloat. Only good thing to come out of covid.
