How are they? Not sure about putting rocks in my liquor, I would think that would leave a taste?
What are you drinking tonight?

I find they work well, I prefer it. As long as it isn't a cheap knockoff, they're smoothed sand-polished granite. You store em in the freezer, and, I'd guess in theory if you left them in a drink a week straight they might pick up something? Maybe? Never tried it.
But for the lifespan of a drink in my hand for an evening they don't transfer any taste, you just rinse and let counter dry before returning to a pouch inside the freezer.
When you think about it, ice waters down and changes flavor. Ice can also pick up a flavor off the other food in the freezer air around it, or, sometimes get a stale taste. I think those do more to change flavor than the rocks do, but again, it's about quality, not just taking a couple stones from the yard and tossing them in the freezer.
After all, at its basest level glass is just tightly packed sand grains that were fused by heat. The stones are just big grains of glass.
Also, you may find some of your favorite liquors have a cleaner, purer flavor than before. Sometimes it's almost like an entirely different drink. Think about looking around on a sunny day with and without good glass polarized sunglasses. As different as the colors and views look, that's how the flavor sharpens without the dillution
Alright Nic, you've lost all credibility with 'Wasn't half bad'. If you would've finished it with 'at cleaning you out' then I'd agree.
You haven't lived until you dealt with the aftermath of a 6 pack of Genesee Cream Ale.

The thought of drinking has me thinking about all of the cheap sh*t we drank in college, which reminds me of something-

I think one of my favorites is the intro for Night Train Express: "Don't let the 0.5% less ABV fool you, the Night Train is all business when it pulls into the station. All aboard the train to nowhere - woo woo! The Night Train runs only one route - sober to stupid with no roundtrip tickets available, and a strong likelihood of a train wreck along the way."

Or a 6 pack of Left Hand Nitro Milk Stouts. I made that mistake once and learned a valuable life lesson.
