Have ice cubes changed over time?
I don't mean specific ice cubes, I mean ice cubes in general. I seem to remember my grandparent's ice cubes being very clear and HARD as rocks. You couldn't bite into them without hurting your teeth. They were big and clunky.
My ice cube maker thing now puts out ice cubes that are very dense and white on the very center, but clear and watery on the edges. They're pretty wimpy. It seems like my parent's ice cubes were about half way between -- they used ice cube trays. Square and solid, but not teeth-breaking.
My office has an OLD "ice-making machine" that I used to fill my Nalgene with today, and it had the old hard-as-nails ice cubes.
Have you noticed a change in the consistency of ice cubes over your lifetime or is just me being paranoid?
