Planetary Ice Cube Molds

Beat Global Warming with These Cool Earth-Shaped Molds

— June 20, 2013 — Art & Design
These ice cube molds are shaped like planet Earth for a reason -- they take a crafty approach on the topic of global warming and encourage "global cooling."

Inspired by the idea of reversing the greenhouse effect, designer Ken Goldman named these the Global Cooling ice cube molds. A pack comes with two blue spherical molds that leave imprints of the atlas on your ice orbs. The molds are made of BPA-free silicone, keeping the environment in mind.

Most ice cube molded trays, though they promise funky shapes, don't produce completely 3D ice cubes because they end up flat on one surface. These orbs are absolutely spherical, adding a stylish and decorative touch to summer drinks. These neat ice cube molds would make a great gift for a science teacher or for an activist's housewarming.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Ice Cube Molds - Opportunity to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly ice cube molds using materials like BPA-free silicone.
2. Novelty Ice Cube Shapes - Increasing demand for unique and decorative ice cube molds that add a stylish touch to drinks.
3. Climate Change Awareness Products - Growing market for products that raise awareness about global warming and promote positive environmental action.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating innovative and sustainable ice cube molds in the kitchenware industry.
2. Gifts and Novelty Items - Opportunity to tap into the demand for quirky and unique ice cube molds in the gifts and novelty items industry.
3. Environmentally Conscious Products - Potential for creating climate change awareness products and eco-friendly ice cube molds within the environmentally conscious products industry.
