Man arrested for stealing glacier in Chile

Why would anyone care if the drink they hold in their hand has ice from a glacier in it or ice from an ice machine? How could you tell the difference to start with? Who cares? Such a silly thing to do and people are doing it, this guy steals the ice, now he goes to jail, the glacier loses ice and someone is still overpaying for a drink with glacier ice in it that came from an ice maker.

Glacier Ice is compressed so that little air exists in it. It does not melt as fast and dilute the drink while keeping it colder longer. To me it wouldn't be worth the extra money. To Each his own.

Glacier ice is denser and a lot harder than ordinary ice. It takes longer to melt than ice from an ice maker. The people who pay extra for it can tell the difference.
