Pistol Ice Tray. As though inspired by the recent [Freeze! Project](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-project), it makes cool gun cubes that will provide the necessary protection for your drinks. Sold for a mere $8, the Freeze! Pistol Ice Tray makes six [ice cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thcinfused-ice-cubes) per tray. This dishwasher-safe design was the brainchild of Winnif Pang. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Novelty Ice Trays:** There is an opportunity for companies to create more creative and innovative ice trays in fun and unique shapes. - **Pop Culture-inspired Housewares:** There is an opportunity for companies to create more pop culture-inspired housewares that add a fun element to everyday items. - **Edible Art:** There is an opportunity for companies to create edible art that is both visually appealing and functional, such as themed ice cubes for drinks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Housewares:** The housewares industry can capitalize on the trend by producing more innovative and creative ice tray designs. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can create unique edible feature items such as themed ice cubes to showcase their creativity and provide an immersive customer experience. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on pop culture trends by creating novelty housewares that cater to fans of different franchises and fandoms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Ice Molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets.md) - [At-Home Mixologist Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-maker.md) - [Eco-Friendly Ice Straw Molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-straw.md) - [Efficient At-Home Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-ice-maker.md) - [Craft Coffee Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-ice-cube.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdration-kitchen.md) - [Portable Frozen Treat Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-treat1.md) - [Star-Shaped Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-shaped-ice-cubes.md) - [Cuttting-Edge Sphere Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-makers.md)
