Is ice a food, or a drink? WTF IS ICE this is driving me crazy

>>9356862
Explain to me your rationale that would lead you to classify ice itself as a food?

By the way incensant classifying of things by categories literally is a sign of autism, ass burgers to be more specific.

>>9356862
eating ice has a negative energy balance

>>9356870
It's an edible solid. Sounds like food to me.

>>9356901
So does eating celery but celery is still food.

>>9356904
Ice, like water is the only thing you can consume that has zero nutritional value. On that basis alone, solid or not, you can't call it a food.

Just like you can't call Coke Pepsi or beer a food, even though those have nutritional value.

>On that basis alone, solid or not, you can't call it a food.

Since when does the definition of a food hinge upon its nutritional value?

Does this silly viewpoint of yours mean that water is not a beverage because it''s zero calorie too?

I'll help you there, OP. It must be food food, because I've never heard anyone say they drank a popsicle.

>>9356944
Don't know why I repeated food. Must be getting hungry from this blogsite again.

>>9356916
water is a nutrient in itself

Water is a polar molecule so when it gets cold, the molecules stop bouncing around like nuts and start hooking up at the poles, building a crystalline structure. And that's ice. wa-la

it's a solid drink, like all frozen desserts that would be liquid at room temperature. simply change of state

>>9357007
So it's food? Water can be food?

>>9356862
It goes in drinks and is made of liquid. It's a drink

>>9357018
You can't drink a solid, so there is no such thing as a solid drink.

>>9357025
what? you can chew ice in your mouth or wait and it will naturally liquify back to liquid. also, in case you didnt notice, you swallow solids and liquids in the same way so there is no separate actions

Speaking of ice.

Are stainless steel ice a meme?

>>9357052
those are for cooling down drinks without diluting them down right? i guess they have a reasonable purpose but you need to have some very high quality drink and tongue to notice the difference

>>9357052
Yes, and no.

If you're an autist who doesn't want his mountain dew to be watered down there's that.

But all alcoholic drinks factor in the dilution in their preparation, so it's kinda pointless.
