Reply to comment by drpinkcream in The food coloring didn’t want to freeze in my winter storm ice bucket experiment by oakgrove

We set out the buckets to be legs of an ice "air hockey" table. The table top was a long flat storage container. The food coloring was just for fun.

We also put out water balloons and they worked surprisingly well. I thought they might not survive the freeze.

Another experiment was filling a large heavy duty trash bag in a large storage container. This froze several inches thick on the outside surfaces but stayed liquid inside, so when we dumped it out the water stayed inside like an ice sink. https://i.imgur.com/fwsTvNh.png

I brought my cousin (who’s a C-list actor) a 15yr glenfiddich for New Years, several years ago. It was promptly placed to the side as a his close friend (another C-list actor) brought in a $10k+ bottle of scotch for them to share that he’d “picked up on the way”.

For special occasions I could absolutely see a more wealthy pair share a $50k+ bottle, and there are plenty of A-list celebrities with money and no financial sense who go to everyday shops like the rest of us.

As for me, that glenfiddich is probably the most expensive bottle of alcohol I’ll ever buy.

My girlfriends’ dad has a bottle of Balvenie. Don’t think it’s this one. But he bought it for like $100 while on vacation mainly because it came in a cardboard tube. Never opened it. Now it’s worth like $12k.
