Meat-flavored Ice?

Had to share this funny story that happened the other day while I was at work. Matt goes to get us some yummy Skyline Chili for lunch and decides to buy some sweetened ice tea by the gallon to enjoy. He pours himself a nice tall glass, goes to get some ice out of the ice machine in the fridge, and a meatball comes out of the ice dispenser into his ice tea glass! Matt is obviously alarmed and puzzled--when did we start using meatballs for ice cubes? Are we trying to conserve water to this extreme? Apparently I had moved a bag of frozen meatballs into the ice dispenser to get something else out of the freezer and forgot to move the bag back to where I had found it. The plastic bag got wrapped around the ice maker gears, popped opened, and meatballs were mixed in with our ice in the ice dispenser! I laughed so hard when Matt told me this story. He said that initially, yes, it was quite funny...that is until he had to spend 30 minutes cleaning the ice dispenser out!
