School Me, Ice Bucket Challenge

[olds]

Shouldn't there be ice in the containers?

Been wondering that myself, how is it an ice bucket challenge if there's no... ice? I bet they're just using tap water, and given we're just wrapping up summer it's not like that water is going to be as cold as it would be by end of winter when the frost has reached the water mains.

Wait 10 minutes and pour the contents over yourself

Girls are sissies so the ice went out therefore cheating the original idea.

The majority of people doing the ice bucket challenge are using ice.

Easier (to setup and do) and less painful sans ice cubes. Most people probably don't care as long as they see a mass of water poured over one's head.

Most phones can't capture the ice failing. I am sure some are faking it.

You could fill an ice bucket with feathers, rocks, whatever you want. Not any bucket filled with ice is an "ice bucket" our culture and how language naturally develops has given a definition to a particular size and shape of bucket to mean "ice bucket".

What people are dumping on their heads in these videos are actually 10 gallon water coolers. Which usually filled with ice and water, or a sports drink.

How does dumping ice water or even just water on your head help fight ALS?

I'm not an expert on the internet but I think the bucket should be made of ice.

 

[vi edit]

If you want an ice bucket challenge, do what we did in high school. Take a 55 gallon garbage can, fill it half way up with ice, then fill it the rest of the way with water. Climb in and stand there for 20 minutes.

We did that after our 12+ mile long training runs. Ice bath therapy is supposed to aid in recovery.

That's an ice bucket challenge.

Ask why donations to ALS are over $31 million dollars right now compared to $2 million last year.

Hint, it's creating awareness and people are donating money. Pretty simple.

why stupid? or do you think donating to a worthwhile cause can't be made into a fun event?

What do you think the awareness level of ALS is right now. What do you think it was before this movement started?

edit: capt caveman said it better

I heard that you let the ice melt first so you get soaked with ice-cold water rather than just some ice cubes that bounce off you?

You would think.

I watched one where they had a bucket of water, and a cup of ice. They then poured the ice into the bucket, and immediately poured the bucket over their head.
