Was something wrong with these? It holds only 7 ice cubes, these hold like 20? I don't get it

mion (10/09/2015) [-] **mion used "*roll picture*"**
**mion rolled image**The one in the picture seem a little more convenient, and the way I see it, as soon as something is convenient, people lose their rational thinking and grab as much of the **** as they can. That being said, we only had those raunchy ass hard plastic things that made it hard af to get the ******* ice cubes outta there, so anything with silicone would have been a welcomed change.

iamslender (10/09/2015) [-] Its also like having 2 regular cubes in your cup. one of those "U"s is the same as 2 from a tray.

anonymousmkiii (10/09/2015) [-] Conventional design- takes up a lot of horizontal space,can't be stacked, difficult to move without spilling water, and requires a set of fingers or utensil to move. Square cubes offer longer-lasting cool
This design- Easy to fill, stores vertical for more freezer space, and while it can't be stacked, a lot more can be placed in the same area. No utensils/finger contact required to remove from tray, good for sanitation. U-shaped cubes offer more surface area for faster cooling, while still keeping a large volume for long lasting cool.

drpenguinz (10/09/2015) [-] its like minimum effort to not spill the water.
we are the most intelligent life form on earth...im sure people should be able to manage that kinda task.
why cant it be stacked?...???
the other thing is round...it takes more horizontal space per ice cube. as well as vertical space...
more surface area...now you are making stuff up. the conventional thing is flat. the flatter **** is...the more surface area you have.
good for sanitation...when was the last time you had to clean one of those things...you freeze the water, that thing is clean.

anonymousmkiii (10/09/2015) [-] It depends on the design of the standard ice tray. The one you pictured is silicone, it moves and flexes, water gets out. Its difficult for me to get a tray full of water from the sink to a level surface in the freezer without a bunch of water going somewhere. It may be more difficult for people who have a disability like parkinsons.
And walk into your local wal-mart, look at al the people there, and tell me that every one of those "most intelligent life forms on earth" can manage that kind of task.
It can't be stacked for sanitation reasons. You put your hands on the silicon surface on the bottom to move it or set it on a countertop. If you try to stack it, the bottom of the top tray makes contact with the water in the bottom tray, and whatever was on the bottom of the top tray gets frozen into the ice
The thing is as wide as one or two ice cubes, which means you can bunch them together like asparagus stalks. Yes, the cubes are larger, but the total device is as wide as 2x2 conventional cubes, meaning you can fit a lot more of the devices in the same 2-dimensional space, assuming reasonable/unlimited vertical space
Freezing water doesn't kill germs. I'm trying to say that with the conventional tray, you need something to move the cubes. If its your hands, you move whatever germs are on your hands to the ice, and to the drink. Whereas the u-shaped tray seems to allow you to pull out the stack and the ice falls away, meaning no fingers needed.
As for basic sanitation, wash your trays every once in a blue moon.

drpenguinz (10/09/2015) [-] the germ thing
you can avoid touching the cubes as well as the u shaped thingies
but will you? its kind of annoying if they hit the edge of your glass and drop on the floor.
but either way...in your mouth are still ********* of germs...if you dont have to worry about them, i dont know why you worry about "hand-germs".
yes you can get the cubes out of its tray without touching them. even if its not silicon.

drpenguinz (10/09/2015) [-] indeed
the anti-germ hype of some people is just stupid. if someone complains about germs on his ice cubes you just ask them kindly to **** off.

psykobear ONLINE (10/09/2015) [-] I'm not going against your whole argument, but you are wrong on the surface area thing. Wavy things have more surface area, which is why your intestines are not flat tubes, and have finger-like projections called villi.
So the U shaped cubes would indeed have more surface area. other than that, carry on.

drpenguinz (10/09/2015) [-] you are right...whoops
still...i dont see how this thing is any more usefull than the conventional thingy
for non-tards at least.

killerdeath ONLINE (10/09/2015) [-]
But water expands when it freezes, where does the expansion go in this design?

epicalania (10/09/2015) [-] up, you'll see that they only fill it a bit of the way at first, now part of the remaining space is filled by the insert but a lot of it isn't, the ice expands into this space. I assume the air is forced out through the seal at the end.

anon (10/09/2015) [-]
That wouldn't work at all...
If the water can fill up each section as you slide it in, then all the ice cubes will be stuck together when frozen so you'll have to break them apart, they wouldn't pop out like that.
