Ice Station Zebra

Long time readers might recall that I wrote about the perfection of ice spheres back here. Basically, you need a sphere instead of a cube to get evenly perfect melting in a glass of whisky. Well, my wonderful girlfriend got me a ice sphere mold recently and it got me thinking about other ice molds.


Here are some amazing ones currently available:

I already own these, the ice dentures, and it's incredibly satisfying to watch them melt (rot?) away in a glass of whisky.


It would be great to have these Lego brick ice cube molds, but I fear it would be too frustrating to try and lock them together, still they look very cool.


I would also love to own these bullet shaped ice cubes, although they might be a bit too subtle. You could slip these into someone's drink without them noticing.


The irony of course is that our fridge has an automatic ice maker...but I almost wish it didn't.

(Bonus point for any readers who have seen the film ICE STATION ZEBRA, it's a weird beast. Legend has it Howard Hughes used to screen it over and over again for days on end.)
