Why does Ice Taste like Water?

Why Does Ice Taste Like Water?
Ice and Water are extremely prevalent and difficult to avoid in today's society. Why are they often together? Why are large masses of ice in the ocean but never in the Sahara desert? Why do people order “ice water” at restaurants when ice is supposedly already water and it would make just as much sense to just say “water water”? Within the past week, I realized that ice kind of tastes like water. We always put ice in our water to make it colder, but could the two be linked in ways other than frequent physical appropriation?
The definition of evolution is the idea that living organisms have developed and diversified from different forms in the earlier earth. Perhaps science can explain why ice tastes like water. If for years we have put ice in water, it may have developed to match the taste of water over time. The definition of evolution required the subject to be living, so to confirm the theory I must prove that ice is alive. When you put a living thing into a wood chipper, the living thing is ripped apart. This is not true for non-living things because a diamond, for example, can come out unscathed. I put this to the test by throwing 115 pounds of ice into a woodchipper and all were ripped apart, so ice is alive. This nearly confirms the theory, but there is still one issue; evolution requires time to take place, but ice has only been around since 1913 when the first home refrigerators were constructed. Because refrigerators create all ice and they have only been around for a little more than 100 years, ice has not had time to evolve since its original creation.
If the theory of evolution cannot solve the issue, then maybe God can. I went to a church and prayed to God to give me a sign about my issue. Later that day, I hit a gopher with my 2018 Volvo S60 Inscription. This is important because I have a warrant out for my arrest for single-handedly driving 13 species to extinction with that Volvo. God is trying to silence me before I uncover the truth. 
I visited my high school's biology teacher to assist me. He explained that polar molecules attract each other, and both ice and water are made out of H2o which is polar. If this is true, then that means that water naturally sticks to ice because of its polarity which would lead ice to taste like water. To test my new theory, I crashed my car into the Ohio River.
In conclusion, it turns out that ice is just water in its solid form. I learned this by reading the ingredients on a bag of ice. Humanity's age-old question has been answered and I have yet another warrant out for my arrest because I stole 450 bags of ice and hid them in my basement as the backup water if my sink ever runs out.
