Inflation or no, the video showcasing the finest ice cube has stirred up quite a controversy. With comments ranging from shock to disbelief, it seems that people are not holding back when it comes to expressing their outrage over the exorbitant prices of drinks at restaurants.

One user commented, "Inflation or no, that is outrageous!" Clearly, the outrage is directed towards the criminal pricing strategies employed by establishments. Another user pointed out the frustration of ordering a drink with "light ice" only to receive a single ice cube. It seems that even if it were a more substantial amount of ice, people would still be dissatisfied.

The video has sparked a debate about the high costs of dining out. One commenter sarcastically remarked, "Man, not even if it cost a fortune." Another user offered a pro tip, suggesting that staying home would save a ton of money. It's clear that people are fed up with the exorbitant prices charged by restaurants.

While some defend the practice, stating that this is simply how drinks and ice work, others are calling it a blatant scam. The high prices are not limited to Miami, but it seems that the city has gained a reputation for taking advantage of tourists during events like F1 weekend. One person even shared their experience of paying $49 for a hamburger on South Beach, leaving the waiter astonished.

Interestingly, some users defended the use of large ice cubes, stating that they are costly and help keep the drink cold without diluting it. However, many are unconvinced and believe that these expensive ice cubes are nothing more than a scam.

The debate surrounding this video highlights the ongoing issue of overpriced drinks in the restaurant industry. It seems that people are growing tired of being taken advantage of and are urging others to stop paying for such practices.

It's important to note that without knowing the ingredients of the drink, it's difficult to determine its true value. Some argue that expensive ingredients and intricate processes could justify the high price tag, similar to fine dining experiences. Additionally, the cost of producing clear ice, which is not easy or cheap, adds to the overall expense. However, others remain skeptical and believe it's simply a rip-off.

In the end, this video serves as a wake-up call for consumers to be more mindful of where they choose to spend their money. While specialty cocktails and the theatrics of pouring may be entertaining, it's essential to question whether the price justifies the experience.

So, next time you're out and about, remember to think twice before indulging in a drink that might cost you an arm and a leg, or in this case, a single ice cube.

The price of drinks at restaurants is out of control (always has been, really), but this is straight up criminal.

Man, not even if it s***** d***.

When you specify "light ice" and they, technically, only give you one ice cube.

That's what you get for going to Miami on F1 weekend.

Um, first step is to not buy drinks that cost $27 dollars, ever. I stopped when they hit $8.

Same as a glass filled with ice, you just can't remove it to check

Stop paying for s*** like this and they'll stop selling it.

Uh, this is how drinks and ice work. Standard pour is going to be 1.5 to 2oz of liquor. The rest is either ice or some mixer. And it's a bar/club/restaurant in a vacation city - it's going to be pricey.
