Woolworths has done it again — taken an everyday grocery item and created a must-have boujee product!
Following their “private school” spring water that launched last year, the retailer recently launched their "Natural Spring Water Ice," and South Africans are definitely on board.
In true South African style, anything perceived as a luxury item is a must-have. Why would we arrive at a braai with ice from any other retailer when we can impress our friends with a bag of Woolies “exclusive spring water ice cubes to add to our favourite drinks?
Competitively priced at R29.99 for a 3kg bag, it’s a no-brainer, and I have the feeling that they may not be able to keep up with the demand this summer..
Woolworths said the 3kg bag of ice cubes is sourced from underground spring water in the Drakensberg mountains to enhance its quality.
They go on to say, “Did you know…What influences the taste of springwater? Both the source of the spring as well as the delicate balance of Ph and mineral content contribute to the taste of our spring water”.
Social media users are ensuring that the pressure stays on us to rush down to purchase our bag of “exclusive” ice.
One user commented, "This is the most Woolies thing that Woolies has ever done in the whole entire Woolieverse," referring to a photo featuring packets of Woolworths ice cubes.
So many braais and family gatherings will be happening this month. I can’t wait to witness the discourse around this.

“Please bro, use a scoop, clips, or tongs — and not your dirty hands. These are Woolies ice cubes, they don’t come cheap.”

@bevthrills:
The kind of ice you don’t put in an ice bucket but leave in the packet because no name ice isnt cool 🤣
@PaulSmiff:
When your brandy demands premium ‘met ys’
@davidjohn_win:
Constantia and Santon just breathed a collective sigh of relief.
@gparkin
The next level will be branding the ice as Chucklescubes.
@BlokenTackle:
...don't surprised that they'll claim ownership of the sunrays/sunshine oneday and sell it as a new innovative product
@Wanderlust_2024:
We expect nothing less from @WOOLWORTHS_SA
😂😂😂💚💚💚🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 They should have added 'made with angel tears' or something.
@lukevanin:
I only want it if it’s been maintained in the frozen state from the virgin glacier to my mouth.
@ricoschacherl:
We've reached "Peak Woolies".
