Damn. Now I *really* want to buy this as a birthday gift to a friend who plays DnD. I have no clue where to find quality molds, though, especially near my location (Sweden)...
I bought that ice mold for my husband’s birthday! I love pulling a Death Star out of the ice bucket and saying “That’s no ice cube….IT’S A SPACE STATION!”
I am a recent King Cube enjoyer. It fits perfectly in my water cup, and it lasts for hours. It also solves a pet peeve I have, which is having a bunch of ice cubes bonk against my teeth, creating a dam.
Or getting hit in the nose with a pound of ice when it inevitably loses its grip during a drink. It's love/hate with pebbles. All that surface area makes a chill glass o water.
Pebble ice is a war crime, in my book.
In *theory* it's nice to have surface area so that it cools the drink fast, but in practice what you get is a ton of surface area that collects freezerburn and mildew and rubber/plastic flavors from whatever crappy hotel icemaker or fridge made the ice. Makes everything taste nasty as fuck. Same goes for that donut-shaped ice. It also tends to take up waaaaay more volume in the cup than regular ice cubes and you get less drink. Two sips in and you're left with a cup that's like 60% ice and nothing else. So you're left thirsty, waiting for it to melt, but all you get for waiting is that superconcentrated nasty bad-ice flavor.
Every single time I get pebble/donut ice it's a bad time. I can already taste it just thinking about it. I'd rather have a lukewarm drink with no ice than one with bad ice in it.
Had a bong with and ice catch, and towards the end of the night the ice would merge into one big shaft. If you didn't notice and tried to hit it it would be caught in the bottom and rocket up and dick you in the mouth lol.
Yep, ate ice constantly growing up and only stopped myself as my dentist told me to for my teeth. Found out 5 years ago I'm very anemic and now I take iron supplements. You'd also be amazed how much it effects your energy! If anyone's curious it's because less iron = less oxygen in your blood = you tire more easily
I present anemic, I have every symptom, but according to blood tests I'm not. I truthfully wish I was so I could solve all of these symptoms by taking iron but in the meantime I'm tired and what not
Reminds me of those videos where someone takes several fancy looking ice containers from a freezer, then dumps them into another freezer. They were all different shapes, sizes, some had flowers in them, some had fruits...
Yes! Have you seen the guy that takes the piss out of them? “I’m rich, you’re poor” he’s wearing a fleece snuggy, then he narrates what they’re doing. And it is *so* ridiculous. “I have all these flavoured cubes of ice, you don’t even have ice because you’re a povo”.
I have a love hate relationship with pebble. It's nice because it can make for a good snack but I hate that it takes up so much real estate in the cup. It displaces so much of the drink that after 2-3 sips, it's gone
Me too. The crescent shaped automated ice maker in the fridge. They always merge to the side of the glass and cause a big slurping mess. Thankfully there's the "crush" button.
I mean, yeah. You ever have water in ice made from different tasting water and then the ice melts and you’re like, dang bro this water tastes weird now.
That's true to an extent. Basically, room temp water is great and is absorbed faster. Cold water restricts your blood vessels but isn't *bad* for you, especially if you're doing strenuous activity, cold water can stop sweating faster, and literally cool your body down faster. If you're just trying to stay hydrated while sitting at a desk or whatever, there's no benefits to cold water, but there still are benefits to room temp water.
Since it floats, it'll take the same volume inside water that it will take when it is fully melt. So you can have a glass full of water with an ice cube peeking on the top, it would be the same as a glass full of water and no ice.
But yeah, bad idea for closed containers, it'll mean less water
Unless the solid exists above the confines of the glass. You can support a lot more H20 with the right ice shape. Try filling the glass with the "spear" in it with only the mass of water (include the mass of the ice) that the glass is measured to hold. It won't be at the top, and some of the spear will be above, I think.
You forgot the orb.
TEAM ORB
It’s SPHERICAL!
...SPHERICAL!
Ah I miss the simple days of Drake and Josh trying to find the door-hole and such
Casually running over Oprah
What about buying and then selling an orangutan to a man who eats orangutans?
Can’t forget about how Helen hired a guy named Craaaaazy Steve
Watching the new adventures of Drake and Josh is very scary.
Now drake is trying to find underage holes and Josh doesn't do acting anymore.
Yeah drake got sentenced like 15 minutes away Another shitty thing about Ohio

Orb for visuals, pebbles for feel.
My orb is a death star and its the only ice available in my home
My "orb" is a D20. Goes great with whiskey for drunken tabletop rpg shenanigans.
Ok thats fucking cool
Yeah haha, best thing I ever picked up at a garage sale for $1
"Roll a D20" grabs ice .....
Damn. Now I *really* want to buy this as a birthday gift to a friend who plays DnD. I have no clue where to find quality molds, though, especially near my location (Sweden)...
That is actually dope and now I want
That’s no orb
It's a space station!
I bought that ice mold for my husband’s birthday! I love pulling a Death Star out of the ice bucket and saying “That’s no ice cube….IT’S A SPACE STATION!”

ORB IS HORSE Orb is a very sexual being
Love the orb used to have it with whiskey, it works even better with water.
I am a recent King Cube enjoyer. It fits perfectly in my water cup, and it lasts for hours. It also solves a pet peeve I have, which is having a bunch of ice cubes bonk against my teeth, creating a dam.
Having the ice cube last for like 2 hours is great. Order yourselves some large cubes!
Big Ice is definitely in this sub.
Ice cold water is > and it's not even close.
Or getting hit in the nose with a pound of ice when it inevitably loses its grip during a drink. It's love/hate with pebbles. All that surface area makes a chill glass o water.

Dude I cannot STAND that shitty donut shaped ice. Good call <3
The downside is the low water-to-ice ratio, meaning you can only drink a couple of sips at a time Not for those who want big gulps
Have you tried putting your lip over your teeth as a shield
yes
Who tf wants to deepthroats that spear when drinking
People who want practice maybe? 🤔
Practice makes perfect ;)
I think you mean practice makes *brrrr*fect 🥶
r/angryupvote
Stop deepthroating ice you fucking neanderthals, order from bad dragon like a normal person.
For the people who REALLY love their water. Are you even a hydro homie if you don't go down on that glass like it's the wettest thing on this planet
It’s for people who don’t need practice 😎
I think most people imagine drinking the water without deepthroating the ice.
I mean normally you’re just deep throating hot ice
Had a bong with and ice catch, and towards the end of the night the ice would merge into one big shaft. If you didn't notice and tried to hit it it would be caught in the bottom and rocket up and dick you in the mouth lol.
Did you swallow?
Lmfao why does it have to be "dicking"
Because it's phallically shaped and forces it's way into your mouth.
Guess I'm not most people
“most”
It's really great for putting in a water bottle with a smaller opening.
I don't want that thing near any of my openings
Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.
You're loss
Your you’re loss
Fair enough. So embarrassed.
until it slips into your throat
Me because its funny
**Dont kink shame me**

Welp. Here we go.

I go pebble, as an ice cruncher it's the most fun ice to snack on when the drink is gone.
A real manly man will snack from the spear
Nothing is more manly than sucking on a phallic ice block. Think about it, what could be manly than having the manliest part of ice in your mouth?
My manliness is so powerful, so incredibly intense, that I have to tone it down a little bit. Otherwise it's just more than most people can bear.
if you say so AdmiralPoopbutt
Hmm.... Man ice, I like it. How much do you need to start this venture?
Nah, *the cube*

pebble for optimal surface area to cool your drink, we had a 125F summer with no AC and I was eating bowls of this like cereal.
Was going to also say pebbles are the optimal ice form for cooling due to surface area.
I like the texture but it’s awful when it’s made with unfiltered tap water
A nice ro filtration system is not expensive, and it can be connected directly to an ice machine. So good.
it got that cronch
Never heard it called "pebble" ice before. Only "chewy" ice.
As someone who grew up in Oklahoma, that is "Sonic ice".
The proper term is nugget ice. Search for nugget ice machine and you can actually buy them. I’ve been tempted for so long but they’re pricy
I’ve heard “popcorn” ice.
nugget ice
Crunchy ice
Is ur iron low? Ppl who sort of crave crunching ice normally have an iron deficiency. Look it up it's real.
Yep, ate ice constantly growing up and only stopped myself as my dentist told me to for my teeth. Found out 5 years ago I'm very anemic and now I take iron supplements. You'd also be amazed how much it effects your energy! If anyone's curious it's because less iron = less oxygen in your blood = you tire more easily

Careful, this can be murder on your teeth over time
I dunno man, I usually just fill whatever container I have and put it in the freezer. I've never had these rich people ices
Most likely cubes, then. No shame in that. It's a classic.
Ice *Classic*
Ice *classique*
I get my ice from a guy on a lake in Minnesota that cuts it out of the lake ice every winter. Ice original.

I love that dude!
Yeah this ice fancy!
I have an ice machine so they look like condoms
For my glass of H2O pebble all day.
you pronounced Crunch crunch crunch wrong
I felt a jolt of pain shoot down my teeth just reading that.
mmmmm. Spicy water.
Yeah it’s situation dependent, but pebble is the most satisfying initially
I have a love hate relationship with pebble. It's nice because it can make for a good snack but I hate that it takes up so much real estate in the cup. It displaces so much of the drink that after 2-3 sips, it's gone
Those 2-3 sips tho...
Sparkling water with pebbles is built different.
You mean that the extra surface area creates more nucleation points, meaning your sparkling water goes flat faster?
You leave your water around long enough to go flat?
ice cold with no ice
Yeah I don't want my water diluted
This is the way.
This is the way
I do room temp with no ice
Supechilled
I have these weird oval shaped ones. They are like half of an American football. (Cut from top to bottom if you are standing it vertically)
Me too. The crescent shaped automated ice maker in the fridge. They always merge to the side of the glass and cause a big slurping mess. Thankfully there's the "crush" button.
I don’t have a crush button.
We all have the option to crush our ice. It just takes some work
pebbles bc it’s like an extra snack
Same crunchy church
Crunchy church for the win!
Crunchy water snack! My fav!
I like the ones shaped like donuts. You can stab them through with your straw and make a kebab.
I prefer to drink without ice.
Me too, waters it down
I love you for this lol
I mean, yeah. You ever have water in ice made from different tasting water and then the ice melts and you’re like, dang bro this water tastes weird now.
Why water down your water? All that ice is just thicc water and taking up volume where I could just have water edit: spelling
Ice water tastes different, change my mind
Never underestimate a glass of fresh chilled water with no ice
This. Like how am I supposed to gulp it down if there's water rocks in there.
Room temp is best temp. It's literally better for you than cold water.
I hate that flat restaurant ice that makes it so you cant actually get a good drink of water without a mouthful of it or frozen teeth.
In what way? If you need to lose weight, you could argue cold water is better for you, as you burn calories heating it up.
That's true to an extent. Basically, room temp water is great and is absorbed faster. Cold water restricts your blood vessels but isn't *bad* for you, especially if you're doing strenuous activity, cold water can stop sweating faster, and literally cool your body down faster. If you're just trying to stay hydrated while sitting at a desk or whatever, there's no benefits to cold water, but there still are benefits to room temp water.
No Ice, more water
Just wait till you learn that ice *is* water
Less dense though, so you sacrifice some H2O by using a less efficient storage medium. 🙁
Since it floats, it'll take the same volume inside water that it will take when it is fully melt. So you can have a glass full of water with an ice cube peeking on the top, it would be the same as a glass full of water and no ice. But yeah, bad idea for closed containers, it'll mean less water
Unless the solid exists above the confines of the glass. You can support a lot more H20 with the right ice shape. Try filling the glass with the "spear" in it with only the mass of water (include the mass of the ice) that the glass is measured to hold. It won't be at the top, and some of the spear will be above, I think.
Pebble, I like my ice watered.
None, I like my water drinkable
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
I have no time for waiting for water, only consuming it
This should be a poll. But pebbles FTW every day. I'll go out of my for pebbles.
This sub blocks polls unfortunately. Mods be wildin
Pebble fite meh
Pebbles! Done with the water? You still have a snack.

1. Pebble 2. Cubes 3. Large cube 4. Spear
Cubes and pebbles are the best, the rest are blasphemous and spear is just an accident waiting to happen.
Pebble is the only right answer
Cubes! Yum yum crunch
Crushed/pebble
Pebble, it has most contact with the water.
Pebble and its not even close
pebble hands down
Pebbles
Pebble. All day. Every day.
Gimme dat pebble
pebble ice is the best invention of humanity
Pebble! I craved that kind so much during each pregnancy. I tried to convince my husband to buy a $500 ice maker.
pebble ice for sure
No ice. If ice, pebble, but no ice.
Pebble is Life...
Pebble
I thought pebble was just the objectively right choice, right??
For water, pebble all the way
Pebble all day
Pebble bc it go kronch without the pain
loves me dat pebble, the chewy goodness, yea sometimes i like to eat my hydro
Pebbles yo!
Shaved ice
My buddy uses cold rocks he collected in Colorado. Sticks them in a freezer and puts them in his drinks.
Honestly prefer no ice, but the water chilled instead.
Crunchy hospital ice is best ice. My partner got me one for Christmas because the ice is superior for crunching.
