I love these for drinks you don’t want watered down but like to keep cold! And to wash them and freeze them again to use over and over again is great! Plus they come in different shapes, so they’re fun!

These are super cute and fun. I was tired of never having ice when I wanted it and these were perfect. I know other reviews mentioned that these don’t stay frozen, but I find they stay cool for a long time. I mostly use these to keep already cool beverages cooler longer (ie water, wine, iced chai) and they do just that! I like them and am happy with them.

I bought two packs of these and use them daily. We have a family if 6 and we are always running out of ice. These are really convenient.

I purchased this product as a college dorm gift for a mini fridge. While they are cute they also make beverages have a mild plastic taste. The other issue is that they aren’t very good at keeping drinks cols because they thaw relatively quickly. It’s a cute idea but unfortunately it just doesn’t work.

I love these little ice cubes! I want to order some mermaid tail ones too, but I don’t see any yet, so here’s my broken down review:
Keep drinks cold: Eh, not quickly or for long, maybe about an hour or so.
Shape/Size: they are a bit small, but I think that works really well for kids cups if that’s why you want them. Also, FYI they won’t be completely filled with water as one reviewer stated because water expands as it freezes- they’re meant to be partially filled. They do freeze “full”.
Quality: I would say high! I’ve dropped, bitten, and washed them in very hot water and had zero issues so far. They are BPA free and free just fine and I’m very happy about all of that.
Value: for me, I think this is where they shine. I definitely vote getting at least 30 because I use 15 at a time in my water bottle (since they don’t cool for long) so I need to rotate. That said, at $7 that isn’t bad at all, especially when my other option is unfiltered very hard water ice that leaves deposits in my drinks (ew). So, these are absolutely worth it.
Overall, I gave five stars because I think the value and cuteness really pan out with the quality when what you lose is just a bit more of a chill. Just order more, or use normal ice cubes.

I love these. There isn’t an ice maker in our freezer at work, but I always want ice for my drinks, but don’t want the ice to water down my drink. These are an absolutely perfect solution and the best part is, they’re UNICORNS! I bought the biggest pack so I could keep some at work and at home-such a great price. I’ve already put them in the freezer and can’t wait to use them!

My large refer broke and it had the water and ice in the door. The second refer doesn’t have an ice dispenser, so had to find an alternative. I love the Unicorn shape and that they are about the same size and freeze strength of the small cubes you can buy at the store. If you want ice that is big these are not that, but you get enough that you can fill several glasses with some to spare. They last about as long as small cubes without filling your glass with water…….
