Some of my favorite things are so simple, like ice cube shapes for example. Here’s a list of some of my favorite Ice Cube Trays and related inventions, not including the previously featured Global Warming Ice Cubes!
1. Cool Shooters
Cool shooters are a great way to really keep your drinks ice cold and get frost bite at the same time. Similar to the Ice Tumblers, these can be purchased here.
2. Bone Chillers
Drink from a stein that’s been chilled to the bone with this Skull and Cross bone Ice Cube Tray! There’s nothing more fun than talking like a pirate, unless you have these cool ice cubes in your glass.
3. Ice Princess
Ice Princess is made from 100% pure food grade silicone, packed in recyclable, peggable clear boxes. This unique ice tray creates magic wands fit for a fairy princess, or if your name is dale from electronics.

4. FishBone Ice Cube Tray
Make crazy fish bone shapes to float around in your glass. These are great if you are mixing Swamp Drinks for kids birthday parties, have them floating around in the punch bowl if you normally mix really horrible drinks like me.

5. FOSSILICED Dinosaur Bones
Fossiliced dinosaur bones ice cube trays are pretty sweet. How about getting even more creative? Why don’t you half set some Jello and add some FLAVORED pina colada ice cubes into your Jello? This way you’ll be digging bones in your dessert, and they will taste great!

6. AK Frozen Bullets
AK Frozen Bullets are either the most perfect way to commit a crime and leave no evidence, or a wicked way to cool a drink. Not that you’d ever add an ice cube to your beer, but the silver bullet probably couldn’t get any worse if you did.

7. Frozen Smiles
Frozen smiles is probably the fastest way to get brain freeze if you actually put the whole thing in your mouth. If you are having a hip hop party, I highly recommend making them out of orange juice so everyone can have a grill.

8. Gin and Titonic Ice Tray
Gin and Titonic, Titanic Ice Cube Trays. It his highly recommended to yell “I’m the King of the world!!” as you slam one back.

9. Ice Invaders
Ice Invaders Ice Cubes. Live your Atari glory days with these bad boys. They actually have little angry faces to boot and will be mad at you for the entire duration of your beverage consumption.

Lego Ice Cube Trays. So you like these hunh? Well how about learning how to make them all by yourself right here!
Update: New Lego Ice Cube Trays have once again been made available online at the lego shop and these can be found right here.
12. Water Bottle Ice Cubes
The Water Bottle Ice Cube Tray is a great invention. They fit perfectly inside your water bottle to keep your water cool on the go and they are big enough to last quite awhile.

13. Shark Fin Ice Cube Tray
The Shark Fin Ice Cube Tray is great for those tropical, Hawaiian, or surfer summer beach parties. I’m not quite sure why they never used a blue drink to show off these little Shark Fins, but they’d probably look the best if the water were blue, don’t you agree?

14. Ice Cube Bags
Ice Cube Bags.
They can be found at pretty much any Save-On-Foods, Safeway, or Superstore now. Apparently they have been around for 2 decades! But it’s new to me.
Just fill the bag up with water, put in the freezer, pull them apart and there you have it! A bag full of crushed ice.
You can also get your pre-filled ones with distilled water here.
15. Stone Cold Ice Tray
These stone cold statuesque Moai of Easter Island Ice Cube trays are the newest from Fred & Friends products which will be available everywhere this fall.
Update: They are now available here

those bone chillers rule – i want them for my next pirate party.
I need to get the princess star ones for my niece, maybe freeze up some strawberry kiwi koolaid so we get pretty pink star ice!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i gotta have thoseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I actually have the Fred Cool Shooters (the first item on the list). They are pretty cool, but unfortunately I have yet to see the ice come out that clear and perfectly shaped, also when you put a liquid in the cup a flim floats up. I’m not sure what it is but I really don’t want to drink it. I’ve tried using filtered water, tap water, bottled water, I’ve tried soaking the tray in hot water, running it through 8 cycles in the dishwasher, it doesn’t matter. The film remains.
@Fjord
I have heard that boiling the water before you freeze it will remove dissolved air and minerals that make the ice opaque. I have not tried this, but it’s somewhere to start.
I really like the Jewels and AK Frozen Bullets molds. Great ideas.
I’ve stumbled over this page or at least the same images on different pages a few times. Not judging anyone but I imagine the ‘ribs’ of those ‘fish bones’ ice cubes would be brittle and break off a lot when cracking the cubes out of the tray.
Also, as per ‘The Advisor’ in a recent article in Playboy, it’s impossible to get truly clear ice cubes (like the ‘precious stones’ above) because of the way water freezes; when you see perfectly clear, nicely rounded ice cubes in magazine pictures… they’re not ice cubes. They’re imitation ice cubes made out of plastic of some sort. Purely for the photo ops.
Anyway, nice. I’d have to say the sports bottle ice-bars are probably the most useful, the rest are just unique.
These are way cool, I love them! Especially the bone ones, I thinking they’ll be great for Halloween since it’s just around the corner. Thanks for sharing.
nice ice cubes!
Nice Gravatar!
Working at a lego brand retail store i can say confidently that lego does sell the ice cube trays. or at least that my store does. and i’ve bought two of them and love them.
i also need to find a gin and titonic ice cube trays somewhere.
Which Store sells the Lego Ice Cube Trays? If you have a link to them online, feel free to post it here.
Also, all the items on OneMoreGadget have links to purchase them online, including the Gin and Titonic Ice Cube trays.
These ice cubes are way cool – um – no pun intended. There has to be a science project idea in there somewhere.
To get ice that clear, the water has to be agitated constantly while freezing. I saw it on some ice sculpture show.
really cute ice cube…
Nice list. The AK-47 bullets are so cool!
To get perfectly clear ice cubes you should: Use distilled water. Boil it once and let it cool completely. Boil it again then cool it then pour it into the trays and it should be close to perfect.
What terrific ideas!
love the stone cold!! Do they really come out that cool looking? I can’t get my regular cubes to come out perfect?? Oh well my niece will love the princess ones!!
Stone Cold Ice cubes can be found at http://www.coolstuffexpress.com.
I am a die-hard San Jose Sharks fan so I must have the shark fin ice cube tray.
oohh… you had me at cool shooters!! Those rock … vodka would be my choice! Thanks for a great, fun post!
I have the fish bones ice cubes and they don’t break off when you take them out because the icetray itself is a flexible rubber material. They’re great!
Well, they would certainly be a real “ice breaker” at any party. (I just couldn’t resist.)
I was going to write some smart ass remark about using Google to find the Lego tray, but lost interest.

Thanks smart ass, your link has been added to the list.
I own the Frozen Smiles tray, a store here sells some others Fred & Friends stuff as well, thinking about getting more frozen smiles as there are only 4 in a tray
13 Those Shark Fin ice cubes would NEVER float that way; the fins would invariably cause the cube to tip over and then the fin would stay below the surface.
We are wholesalers and sell to pharmacies, etc. We were interested in the cool cubes. Do you have a price for distributors? Please reply
13 : They don’t show it in a blue drink because it would be real hard to see… unless you put some color in your water before you freeze it.
Wow so cool frozen arts
Here’s a link to all the Fred ice cube tray products: http://www.google.com/products?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=fred+ice+cube+trays&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=tegiS93IIZLLlAeEr8jzCQ&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CCMQrQQwAg
Got it from Google. If you enter in “Fred Ice Cube Trays” into the search bar, you’ll come up with bunches.
Thanks PhinnianB, pretty handy link. Also, all items reviewed on OneMoreGadget are available at the bottom of the post, or best priced deals are in the OneMoreGadget Shop.
If anyone’s looking for these in the UK, Amazon have most of them.
Hey Buddy! I LOVE your hot ice cube treys. they r like sooo freakin “cool” if you know what I mean. Well, I want you all to have a delicious day every day of your freakin miserable lives
I have Fred’s Dinosaur Fossiliced and Titonic trays. The ice cube Titanics are very hard to get out, due to the smoke-stacks. However it’s absolutely worth it. The dinosaurs are very, very easy to remove. All look wonderful, but they do not come out absolutely clear, like the photo.
Now that is really cool. This is the first time I’m seeing such a great variety of ice cubes. The shooters are really cute as well as the jewels. Top class share. I’m looking forward to buy the shooters. You have any idea where I can get it?
Yup! All the items can be purchased through the links at the bottom of the post. Also, check out the OneMoreGadget shop at http://www.onemoregadget.com/shop to find other ice cubes as well.
I love the water bottle ones!!
It is the first time that shark fins protruding out of water made me laugh out loud!
Would you be offended if I told you that you have a nice ice?
OMG I wonder why I am just using plain cubes till now when I can get these
wicked and must say it will increase the taste of any drink.
I love the lego ones and the shark fins, very cool!
