I absolutely love to drink ice water. I know for most people water isn’t really the tastiest of beverages, but I’m telling you, the secret is ice. I think if you can at least tolerate drinking water, then this trick will work for you. I mean, who wants to drink lukewarm water? Nobody, that’s who. Even soda tastes like crap when you let it sit around and get room temperature, so why would you try to drink warm water? Come to think of it, most drinks only taste good in two temperatures: hot or cold. Hot coffee? Good. Iced coffee? Yum. Hot coffee that has cooled off? Yuck. Iced coffee that has melted? No thanks. Basically, the mere absence or presence of ice is a drink necessity.

Since it’s summertime, we’ll focus on the presence of ice and how the Shark Fin Ice Tray (Drinkstuff, £6.98) can impact your frosty beverages. First off, you’ve got ice in your glass, so good for you. Secondly, how can you not love this ice cube tray?! Just looking at it, with its shark fin molds and bite marks on the corners, makes one word come to mind: AWESOME. Yes, you only get five shark fins per ice tray, but it’s not like these things are breaking the bank and you can’t afford to buy another one or two (or eight, in my case). And I’m not complaining, but the shark fins do need a minute or two to settle into their upright Jaws-esque positions. My one little teeny complaint? You can’t get these things in the US or Canada.

Just think about how cool (pun intended) your next party would be with this ice cube tray. I mean, you could tell your guests about this totally boss ice cube tray you got, but that wouldn’t take all the fun out of it? No, instead I think you should whip these out when no one’s looking. Create a diversion of some sort. Maybe even make a movie about sharks attacking people at the beach, that’ll really get everyone’s attention. Then put their drinks in front of them, complete with floating shark fins. Make sure you have to camera ready to document their reactions.
