Do you remember this?

Who remember this?

Me, I do! I remembered it just as I was about ready to complain out loud, that my nicely manufactured ice cubes wouldn't fall through the chute of the door on my freezer into my glass. I kept my mouth shut.

[paperboy]

I definitely do! Believe it or not, I still have two of these that belonged to my grandmother! And they still work. Just pulled them out & passed them on to my daughter. She looked at them kinda funny, but took them anyway.

Mark - no way you're old enough to remember those!

Ice maker. or we used to make flavored icee, that was a long time ago.

We had 4 that sat in the bottom freezer. Used them regularly for Ice Tea.

Sadly, I remember them all too well. That's all we had when I was a kid! :lol:

Those were the best ice trays ever...

How about this?

Who needs an ipod!

I always hated removing the cubes-my hands were usually wet, and they would stick to the metal tray. Ouch!

We use to fill the ice trays with cool aid

They would stick......I had forgotten how much it hurt....sure would be good for some iced tea, though....half the ice cracked apart with little slivers.....mmmmm

Grandma did that for us !!!!!!!!

If I looked hard enough I could find some. Didn't even need wet hands and they would stick from the ice melting from touching them. Kool-Aid and frozen punch with tooth picks sticking out of them.

Boy do I ever....... the balancing act to get it back in the freezer without making a mess.

[Linda]

oh ya, I remember these....seems like a different world now....was a great time back then....

[smee2]

Not only do I remember them, I wanted to get a couple to prove they existed ... some young sprouts think they know everything! So, went to eBay and got what I wanted. Also got that heavy metal thing that is two parts of a jaw with handles and you put an ice cube in it and crush it. and of course the ice sticks to that too. Today I use bagged ice. And I like to chew it but not enough to break teeth. So, I put it a little at a time into freezer bags, then put them between a couple of kitchen towels, hammer the living daylights out of them with a real old wooden handled hammer. Voila! crushed ice!

Thanks for the memories.

Oh yes - also the popsicles with koolaid and toothpicks. Getting it back in the freezer without spilling it all was the challenge. Amazing how times have changed. Now I have an ice-maker.

There seems to be many of us who are telling their age on this subject matter.

[littlesam]
