The ice cube is essential to cool you when the temperature rises. It is essential also for professionals. Bad luck, the ice machine at the restaurant “Le Basilic” broke down, in the middle of a heat wave. The only solution is to have between 20 and 40 kilos of ice delivered every day. At the end of the month, the bill will amount to nearly 800 euros. On the other side of the ice, specialized companies are multiplying. At Promo Glaçons in Pantin, everything starts with tap water, which is filtered and then frozen. Production is done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sold at one euro per kilo, or regarding two cents per cube, the price is justified by the cost of electricity and transport. Right now, the phone is ringing nonstop, with deliveries from eight o’clock until three o’clock in the morning for the discotheques. The market is also growing for individuals. In recent years, these bags of ice cubes, in pictures, have made a place for themselves in the frozen aisle of supermarkets. And more original, in the street, Promo Glaçons has installed 50 self-service dispensers in the Paris region, to cool off at any time of the day or night. TF1 | Report E. Payro, L. Baqué, B. Poizeuil
