The ice cubes appear clearer after freezing since warm water contains fewer dissolved gases than cool water. Some people do it because they think it freezes faster. This is only true in certain cases, though; specifically, if the air in the freezer is saturated with water vapor (which is fairly likely) warm water will freeze more slowly than cool water.

Because to become a solid, ice has to lose its heat that's present in liquid form.

They were invented I am guessing when they saw a frozen lake and thought that it would help keeping beverages cold by putting frozen water instead of just regular water.

In the case of ice the water have low energy. The ice cubes will take energy from the water to get converted into liquid and thus give a cooling effect.

That's because some drinks are unpleasant to drink if they are warm.

My garbage disposal stinks?

If it's truly horrible, dilute some Clorox or other bleach with water and pour it into the non-running disposal. Let it set for about a half hour. Add some ice cubes and run the disposal with cold water. Afterward, you can run ice cubes with rinds from oranges or limes ... any citrus will do ... with cold water. Washing food down the disposal with cold water instead of hot will prevent future disposal stank.

How does tap water get cold?

Tap water temperature as "cold" is its normal temperature, depending on what your water source is. Underground water usually from wells/reservoirs is about 55 degrees, where as some parts of the country water comes from above ground lakes/reservoirs, and there the temperature will vary. Its warmer in the summer and can get really really cold in the winter as the above ground water temperature drops.


Why Cointreau becomes white if added with ice cubes?

Some components of Cointreau are not soluble in cold water and a colloid is formed. But the American habitude to drink Cointreau, Cognac, vodka etc. with ice or mineral water is ridiculous.


What causes a salty taste on ice cubes formed from tap water?

Tap water naturally has some salts in it (sodium chloride, fluoride, etc.) from the filtration process, so these molecules can be brought to the surface when the water is frozen for ice cubes.


Why do ice cubes stick together in the freezer?

Answering the question and the question in the details below:Ice cubes stick together because the surface of ice is liquid-like and when the ice cubes touch, the surfaces freeze together. For more background, please view the answer to "Why is ice slippery?"The following answer gives some scientific details pertaining to ice:Water freezes at 0 degrees celsius, but the ice that comes out of your freezer is much colder.From the moment you put ice into water, the water gets colder and the ice gets warmer until there is one uniform temperature and all ice has turned to water. You can imagine how if the ice were cold enough, it could freeze all the water.Two cubes of ice at say -10C would easily freeze a thin layer of cold water surrounding them before they get down to the temperature at which they begin to melt.BUT I have noticed that often cubes that are half-melted will still stick together. How can this be? If it has been shrinking, the outer layer should be in the process of melting and therefore not cold enough to freeze its surroundings. I do not know the explanation for this. Perhaps I wasn't watching closely enough. Maybe they froze together when they were larger and for some reason the connections don't melt as fast as the other parts of the ice. More experimentation needed.


Why does water run down the front of your ice dispenser?

My best guess would be from condensation, which is when water vapor cools down and starts to make clouds, or if it is close enough to some solid, it makes traces of water. You can see the same effect by putting cold water and ice cubes in a water bottle and wait a little bit.
