42 Unconventional Ice Trays

From Death Star Ice Globes to Anime-Inspired Molds

— October 17, 2012 — Autos
Take away the mundane ice cubes and liven up the party with some unconventional ice trays.

One of the essential parts of keeping a party running is ice because no one likes a lukewarm drink. While it may be easier to run to the convenience store and pick up a few bags of of the frozen cubs, why not spend a little more time and create some nerdy beverage accessories to go with a themed party? Whether it's a Star Wars or Batman marathon or an intense retro gaming session of Pac-Man with your friends, these unconventional ice trays will make the evening much more intense. Since the molds come in a variety of characters, it's probably best to keep a pair of ice tongs nearby to prevent hands from digging into the bucket.
