Food: Bizarre Ice Cube Trays
Wow! A letter! Guess that proves once and for
all that we have a reader!

Dear Tacky Living:
Just read your article on picking
the perfect souvenirs . . . for the love of God please tell me where
I can get a TexIceŽ ice cube tray right away. Do you know of a source
online? How about ice cube trays that make ice in the shapes of other
states?

Somewhere in North America
Dear CPSL;
We obtained ours eons ago at a place called Hobby
Lobby in Rockwall, Texas. Unless you  live
in the area, Rockwall is probably inconvenient to drive or fly to, even
for special ice cube trays - not to mention the fact that after all of
these years, they probably don't carry them anymore. We did a search on
the web and found several sources for odd trays. Keep in mind that we
haven't done business with these people - or any of the other businesses
mentioned on this website - so your mileage may vary.
TexIce
Sorry - didn't find any ice cube trays depicting
other states.

Other places to get novelty ice cube trays
We get MANY inquiries about this, so many that
we're beginning to suspect that some alert reader out there could start
a viable side business selling only ice cube trays. But that's neither
here nor there.
We don't keep track of everyone who sells odd
ice cube trays and we probably only get around to updating this article
once every five years or so. Thus, if you're looking for something specific,
your best bet is probably to search for it using Yahoo, Google, or Ebay.
Try combinations of the following search terms:
What you're looking for:
- ice trays
- icecube trays
- ice cube trays
- ice cubes
- icecubes
What sort of tray you're looking for:
- novelty
- bizarre
- odd
- offbeat
Or try searching for a description of the "cubes"
it makes:
Thus, if we wanted a tray that made ice shaped
like elephants, we'd try searching on "elephant ice", "elephant
ice cubes", "elephant icecubes", and so forth.
Good luck!
