DC: Canadian police are investigating the theft of 30,000 liters of iceberg water from a warehouse in Port Union, Toronto, according to The Guardian.
Valued to be around CAD $9,000-12,000, the water was set to be used for bottling vodka but was reported missing on Monday.
“The iceberg water was harvested sometime last year, and it’s held in storage containers and it’s generally used here, in the Port Union facility, to bottle vodka,” said Canadian police to CBC News.
Typically, iceberg water will cost upwards of $100-per-bottle. Traditionally harvested in the spring, iceberg water’s high cost is due to its purity and potentially dangerous extraction process, which raises labor costs.
The police believe that the thieves must have hauled the water with a tanker or tractor trailer as they got away. MORE
SNIP: And now it’s garbage.
It’s kind of cool (pun intended) to make drinks with glacier ice in them. To think you’re cooling your drink with 50,000 year old ice is “cool”.
That frozen water at the poles is likely very pure.
It’s age along with solar radiation would make it so.
I’m curious if it has a ton of minerals in it?
I always figured the water we drink has been through many cycles.
Try not to think about that. 🙁
Aw C’mon…glacial water throughout the ages….snow and ice standing still… bird shit, little rodent things pooping, bigger mammals pooping and peeing, volcanic activity, glacial hikers throwing out a snot burger, Glacial water is filthy, but very cold…..
Iceberg water would be like money in the bank, since all the ice will be gone in 12 years.
Wow. Only in Canada I suppose… 🤔
We always figured there were ice worms in the glacier ice, but when you’re 22 a little ice worm can’t hurt you.
All ice is billions of years old.
All of your ice has dinosaur piss in it, monkey piss, cro-magnon piss, crack-head piss, maybe even Russian piss in it.
That’s nothing. Search Maple Syrup thefts. Canadians have a big problem with that. They guard that like we guard Fort Knox.
The Canadian Iceberg Liberation Team freed that stolen ice to return it to the wilds of the Canadian arctic.
ICE CUBES ARE THEFT!
hmmmm. I may have stumbled upon a new money making cult idea…..
Somehow … this is President Trump’s fault.
Maybe he and Putin colluded to steal the glacial ice-water?
In order to … I don’t know … facilitate Globaloney Warming?
Mueller should look into this …
izlamo delenda est …
What?
Oh? yeah? Oh yeah! Me too!
I had 10,000 tons of iceberg water in my garage! Those thieves got me too!
In fact i only have 5000 gallons left. No dont look at that garden hose over there.
