Ooh ooh, I want to escalate this thread into entirely new levels of unrealistic pedantry by talking about both hydrogen atoms and our own neurology and perceptions.

Also, your example of motor oil was a poor choice. Oil is probably not going to stick to your ice, unless it is in contact long enough to freeze, or get viscous enough to cling to it, and oil will not rinse away cleanly.

Hair and lint can stick to the ice, but try it for yourself, ice isn’t a sponge. The only way for anything on the surface to work it’s way in is to melt it’s way in, and then freeze the outer shell again. Akin to dropping the ice, kicking it under the fridge, fishing it back out, tossing it back into the ice tray. In which case, you deserve all the hair in your cocktail.
