I remember having a couple of trays like that when I was younger- I believe my grandmother bought them for me so I could have kid-sized cubes. I forgot all about them until your post! I did like them! Chuck |

If I recall correctly, Magic Chef used an icemaker that made similar shaped cubes. |

I bought an '80s Emerson 3.5 cf mini fridge off CL a year or so ago. It came with a similar tray for mini ice cubes. I think after reading the OP, I'll fill it and stick it in the Combination's freezer.
I use the crushed ice option on our fridge's dispenser. I can't stand the way crescents tend to position themselves so as to create a dam. I even bought square Old Fashion glasses to cope with this issue before we had a fridge with the crushed option.
One thing everybody should steer clear of is those packs of soapstone cubes that claim to be a substitute for ice and that they won't dilute your cocktail. Yeah, they don't dilute it, but they also don't cool it down worth a dam(n) either. |

I found them on Ebay. I paid $2.50 for a pair of trays and $3.00 shipping. The auction was marked for 1 tray only, but when I opened the package 2 trays were in there. For some reason the price seems to have gone up a bit since I ordered mine in mid December. CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlcool's LINK on eBay |

I'm not one to use ice in beverages as I prefer them room temperature, unless I'm making an occasional cocktail or a frozen protein shake.
However I do own 2 ice cube trays, I have the Tupperware Fresh N Pure trays, they stack nicely, I like that the seal prevents spilling during transfer to freezer, as well as keeps them fresh. As I make the ice I promptly empty the trays into a Tupoerware Modular Mates Rectangle 2 container which holds 5 trays of ice to keep on the ready in addition to the 2 trays for if company comes. I like that the trays as well as the storage container keep the ice from picking up off flavored from the freezer
