Fancy ice has officially gone mainstream. 

Ice has become unexpectedly aspirational. Somewhere along the way, frozen water turned into a hobby, complete with specialty molds, cocktail tutorials and giant crystal-clear cubes that somehow make a drink feel twice as expensive. 

Now, Aldi is getting in on the trend with perhaps its most surprising July Aldi Find: a box containing just four ice cubes. Yes, really. The popular grocery store’s new Crystal Clear Frozen Ice Cubes are now in stores, and at $4.99 for a four-pack, they’re almost guaranteed to spark opinions.
