Waiter, There Is a Dinosaur in my Drink

Summertime is quickly approaching, and I look forward to sitting on my porch with a glass of lemonade. This year, though, I am not going to have just any old ice in my glass. Anyone can make ice cubes, but what about ice dinosaurs?

The creators of Fossiliced have provided dino fans with a cool way to chill their favorite bevarages. They have created two molds, a Tyrannosaurus and a Triceratops, that make skeleton-shaped ice. The bits are not all connected, otherwise it might be a challenge getting the dinosaur in the glass, but the trays make it easy to make dinosaur-shaped treats. Right now there are just the two dinosaurs, but I hope we see some more soon!
