Shark Fin Ice Tray

Shark Fin Ice Tray (Image courtesy Play.com)
By Andrew Liszewski

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a clever ice cube mold that truly brings something new and unique to your next party. And don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as sipping a drink that’s been chilled by a LEGO minifig or Han Solo frozen in carbonite, but these shark fin ice cubes are pretty great. They’re engineered like an iceberg so that the fin part always stays upright in your glass, just visible above the beverage line, while the rest of the ice cube remains submerged. And for just over $8 from Play.com, how can you go wrong?

    I like it! It would go great for a themed evening of watching the Jaws movies (even that horrid one with Dennis Quaid).

    wouold the fins not break off as you were ejecting the ice from the mould?

    I think they would.

    Yes, there are indeed several logistical issues, however the fundamental premise is interesting.

    I approve.

    It's made of cookware grade teflon. I'm sure it balances just fine and it's flexible to pop out the cubes when done.

    It would be easy to get the cubes out of the tray. Like any other ice cube tray, a couple seconds resting in some hot water will loosen all the cubes so they just fall right out.

    I would be more worried about guests stabbing the roof of their mouth with the fin, or some other sharp fin-related accident.

    Still…this is awesome.

    I'm guessing the bigger base will force the fin to stick up out of the water, kinda like an iceberg.

    These are extremely dangerous. Next time there's a real shark in your drink you'll think it's just an ice cube. The company that makes this ice tray will get sued left, right and centre when people start accidentally swallowing real sharks.

    There are more then enough fins to balance kind of like a three legged table, if positioned correctly it will just stand on its own.

    Hmmm the fact that they only included a picture instead of a real photo of them in action tells me that they're a much more impressive concept than a reality. I'm no expert but logic seems to say that the “fin” part would melt too quickly to really be a novelty…

    @ msisaac:
    your paragraph one:
    Thank God you figured it out for the rest of us, I was beginning to give up on mankind's intellect.
    your paragraph two:
    BUT are you nuts? Now I'm wondering about the intellect of human kind again. Why ever would a fin stab the roof of the mouth? How would it get there and why? And if it did, it's just ice, for crying out loud. Stop being so over protective and let us have our shark fin cubes and let us live!

    @ gerard:
    now you're getting it… (ice would probably melt in a mouth that is somewhere near 98 degrees)

    LMAO cjsavvy! That's a good one. I think they do have those, btw. Check out your local “toy store” for them or you can probably find them on a web site that sells “toys”.

    No no, you get a knife and slit the mold off. Silly.

    *inhumanity*

    Also I think the point is use cold punch. If you put too much ice, the sharks will act like betas and kill each other. Sadness.
