I was fixing a drink the other day and used some novelty
'nudie' ice-cubes as advertised in all good 60's stag magazines.
I soon realised that they failed their two basic functions.
Firstly, they didn't resemble anything even vaguely human,
looking more like something a polar explorer would knock off
his boots. Secondly, they had so much surface area that they melted
just minutes after being put into an already cold drink.

So, since they are so inferior to the basic ice cube shape, is there
a place for novelty ice cubes? Does anyone use them?
It also struck me that the ideal shape would actually be spherical
since the surface area would be low, they would last a long time
and look pretty good too. Do spherical ice-cube molds exist?
