I assume that you are talking about bags of ice from the store.
Over time the ice cubes will encounter temperature changes resulting in some melting and some dehydration. Also, ice cubes can absorb odors from nearby foods.
Fresh ice is closer to the advertised weight and less likely to have absorbed any odors.

Water does go off. It goes stagnant like in a pond. It loses all it's oxygen and tastes "off". My friend once left a glass of water next to her bed for weeks and then drank it (yuck!) she said it was the most evil thing she'd ever tasted (she was 14 at the time!)

It's a legal requirement in UK for any kind of foodstuff or drink.
5 million-year-old rock salt has a best before date on it.

Because of the bacterial growth in the water.

I didn't know you could buy ice cubes. I make mine from scratch at home.

Take them back to the store and ask for a refund as you intentially bought them for your christmas party and see what happens :)
