We're always on the lookout for a novel way to spruce up an ordinary cocktail, and we may have found just the thing for the holiday season. The above ice cubes - sold as a tray, as ice-cube molds generally are, and shaped to resemble the titanic and the iceberg that sunk her - have been made available by a company in the UK to much hand-wringing and eyebrow-raising, and other things British people do to show they're upset without actually expressing any emotion.
Titanic historian Brian Ticehurst has gone so far as to suggest the product is akin to making light of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
'They are distasteful, hundreds of people died in the tragedy,' he said. 'How long will it be before this firm makes ice cubes of the Twin Towers to commemorate 9/11?'
First: there are still Titanic historians? Hasn't it been pretty much covered by now? Plus wasn't this like a hundred years ago? If James Cameron can move on, the rest of us should be able to do the same, and we personally feel that nothing can quite be defined as tasteless when it's sole purpose is to be consumed with alcohol. As for ice cubes shaped like the twin towers, we'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
