Probably a true claim, because surface area

Ultra pure slow melting… ok… it melts just like regular water

It’s to minimize surface area, making water dilution in cocktails a slower process. An ice sphere would be ideal for this but it’s better than ice from your freezer in that specific task.

Extra micro plastics infused for the smooth slower melt

Though if you’re using a plastic ice cube tray to make ice cubes, there’s a good chance you’re bringing your own microplastics.
Source: got a metal ice cube tray and noticed that weird “old ice” flavour and subtle sheen on the drink surface as it melted is no longer there.

Are you able to twist the metal ones to free the ice? The flexibility of plastic makes that the best way to free the cubes.

The old ice flavor is bacterial biofilm on the plastic tray, metal is easier to clean

Any nutritional value to that biofilm?
