Why is a polystyrene container used to store ice cubes?

Because polystyrene has certain thermal properties that can be used in order to store things and maintain their temperature.

When you store ice cubes in polystyrene containers they won't melt and they'll keep cold because the cold they'll generate in the container wont escape, and the heat from outside wont come in.

Hope it helped,

make   gliitsh plesea   !

the main thing i would use is bricks because if there is a hurricane, there is a great possibility for the house to still stand. and i would also use plexiglass windows instead of regular windows because plexiglass isn't prone to breaking.
