Colorful Ice Fort

Taking advantage of the icebox conditions in Ontario, redditor UnspeakableFilth froze blocks of colored water for four weeks straight to build this ice fort. It looks especially nice lit up at night.


Commenter ImpressiveDoggerel thought he'd do an end-run with all the puns so the comment thread wouldn't be spread out with so many puns.

You did an ice job! That was pretty cool! Now you have a place to chill out! Snow one thought you cold ever do it; they thought you didn't have a snowball's chance in hell! Now that you're finished with this flurry of activity, I think that freeze up a lot of time for you to do new projects! And remember it doesn't matter if you winter if you lose, it just matters that you had fun! Fort-unately you took pictures so this moment will be frozen in time forever! Cubetter believe you did a great job!

Didn't help much -it just forced other commenters to stretch a little for more puns. See 22 pictures of the fort and the building process at imgur. -via Boing Boing

I'm sure the local food bank was just thrilled to receive a enormous flood of canned tomato soup. *eyeroll*

A more varied donation display would have been more useful, but wouldn't have looked as pretty.

Pablo, that would cut the profits, too. But Campbell's does contribute to food banks; I don't know how much. This is a clever display, but I'm sure a lot of folks took cans off it to buy for their own pantries.

@Miss Cellenia and Pablo: Even if lots of people took food home for themselves, it raises awareness, something that Campbells donating directly wouldn't do.

@Justin
Can't tell who you're rolling your eyes at... Maybe food banks where you live would be annoyed to get a couple of pallates of the same thing, but the food banks where I'm at would love to have anything. There are times of the year where they don't have enough for everyone who needs it.

Yeah, anybody who has been to biz school can tell you this promotion is all about selling soup. Fortunately, there are plenty of guilt-filled consumers out there to fall for it.

Food banks wouldn't mind having the same kind of each can lol. Tomatoes are the cheapest actually (in my local grocery store). My class collected money and bought $100 worth of canned tomatoes and the rest of the class brought in diapers, other canned goods and we collected 3200 cans in the 3 week duration.
