Anybody else ever used these? I got some as a gift, and now I pretty much use them every time I have a scotch. Absolutely love 'em. Keeps your dram cool - but not too cold - and no watering it down. Probably my favorite bar gadget I have.

Mmmm...they sound like a good idea but I'll bet ya I'd crack a tooth with them! Never tried one but I do like those really big square ice cubes that some places are using, about 2" cube.

Nice profit on "rocks" (you know, that stuff you find laying on the ground). They're selling a cubic yard of sandstone for a mere $103,680.00. Opps, almost forgot. You get a burlap bag too.

If you had a stone saw, you can buy a 12" x 12" x 1" sandstone paver for about $2, and make 144 of them.

there is a difference between sandstone and soapstone.

^Yeap, I'm a idiot. Still Soapstone slabs 1" thick sell for around $36 a sq. ft., so material costs on the stones are l under a quarter a piece.

and you still have to have the equipment to cut it.

I rather like the idea that your drink is not going to be watered down...

but I also dont drink enough that I need to worry about it.
