That's a painfully inefficient layout :(

Oh man, I could make my own ring pops with these!

The text I sent my friend, immediately after ordering these: "I just ordered diamond-shaped ice cube trays. What am I doing with my life?"
Seriously, what the fuck am I doing..?

Buying potentially useless items on the internet.
I mean, hell, you could be doing a hell of a lot worse with it.

Yeah, like buying pointless items from QVC/HSN.
At least there is u/pricezombie to tell you it is the cheapest.
Also, these ice cubes contain points, so these are not pointless.

Put near boiling water into the ice tray to have crystal clear diamond ice.

I want to freeze a mosquito inside and tint it yellow

Hi honey, remember how I was going to get you those diamond earrings and also propose? Well for now why don't you enjoy these!

They would melt quicker wouldn't they with more edges?

But they would look cool.

If they do it will actually cool your drink quicker
3
And water it down faster? I've always heard sphere ice cools but melts slower?

The drink is cooled via heat exchange with the ice; the ice absorbs the heat, causing it to melt. So it'll always melt just as quickly as it cools.

It melts and cools more slowly. Not a problem if you pre-cooled (and diluted) your presumably alcoholic drink in a mixer first. :)

Ah ok then cool, thanks for that knowledge.

My guess would be that they're closer to spherical, so probably have a lower surface area than a typical cube, thus would melt slower. But slower melting isn't generally desired (hence in a commercial setting, eg a bar, you'd have either crushed ice or ice cubes with big holes in the back to make them melt fast)

The price seems a little high for these.

PRO TIP: Use boiled water or distilled water instead of tap water to get a crystal clear diamond.
