Hen got me these for Xmas!

Who needs ice, when you can use rocks instead?
What?! Chilled to perfection these Teroforma Whisky Rocks are handmade in Vermont out of soapstone and will cool your drink down just enough to take the edge off without holding back the flavor and obviously melting..

Nice idea, I like it!

I dunno.

I'm used to ice cubes.

After 5 or 6 wiskies I wouldn't care.

Genius!

Has anyone checked what is extracted from the rocks with whiskey?

Antimony? Arsenic? Lead? &c? Some whiskey is so loaded with carcinogens that it might not really matter.

Jeepers, you'd figure a chemist would know something like that...

"react with" is not same as "can be extracted by". And is soapstone all the same chemically? No matter what the source?


Ignorant. Very ignorant. Like all driven by hatred and stupidity.


"... sulpharsenides, arsenides, alloys, etc. are invariably extremely rarely observed in these deposits. ... "

Observed, but rarely.

And if they had found to be leaching arsenic or other poisonous substances they would never have been approved by the FDA for sale.

Whiskey has been shown to have known carcinogens, and it is approved for sale. So is barbequed beef.

Under Bush II the limit for arsenic was raised.
