I’m losing my mind over this. XD

When I was growing up, my parents had ice cube trays made of solid plastic, with trapezoid shape so the cubes pop out when you twist it. Those trays lasted through my entire childhood and worked great. I want to buy ones like that (either made of thick plastic like that or metal that’s flexible enough to twist like that). But I’ve never seen them in stores, and after scouring the internet I can’t find any like that online either. Everything looks like the same sorts of flimsy materials that I know will break quickly, or is square metal so the cubes won’t pop out like that. Does anyone know where I can find trays like that?

    I own those trays, I used them for a few years with zero issues. I moved and my new fridge has an ice maker, but I kept the trays because eventually I’ll probably have a use for them.

      I have 4 of them, and if I were to fill and empty them as they froze, I’d end up with an overflowing container in about 3 days. And Im in Arizona in the summer.

        I was in FL, but my family uses enough ice cubes that I never got to the “overflowing” state.
