Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fred Cool Shooters Shot Glass Mold
Customer Review: Fun and original but not practical.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is such a cool item that it pains me not to give it 5 stars, but it certainly has its flaws.
The idea is great and the execution is good. Shooters are easy to make and removal is not too hard. The only problem is that it gets messy pretty quickly. As soon as you get it out it starts melting especially when there's a bunch of people and the temperature is warm.
If you put it on a table it gets messy, and if it gets forgotten there for a full night you'll get water everywhere! It can also have some leaks if you break it while removing it.
It is still a really cool gift, but once the novelty wears off you don't use it that much.
Pros:
-Original
-Useful
-Reasonably priced
Cons:
-Messy
-Fragile
Customer Review: These work but need patience
Summary: 5 Stars
These work great but are definitely just a novelty. As an actual cup/shot glass, these do poorly. Hard to hold on to, melt rather quickly and you can get your lips stuck to the cup. Despite this I still give it 5 stars. No one should buy these expecting to replace all their kitchen cups with these. They have been a hit at parties, especially outdoor/patio ones. People take a shot and just throw the glass in to the yard. Here in Florida, it melts quick.
I will admit that maybe 20% of the time, I get one of the cups that's unusable once it's frozen due to bubbles and such. I don't blame the product since it is simply a mold. But make sure to prepare well in advance for a party if you use these. Using koolaid in the mold also gets a cool (but sticky) result.
Customer Review: cool party idea
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a great idea for a party or 21st gift because it's unique and unexpected. They work for the most part. Sometimes air holes are created that allows for your drink to leak out. Other times the bottoms aren't totally flat and i don't understand the cause for this. I think you just need a really flat surface for them to form and to just check that they have friezed properly. When they do frieze properly their a lot of fun. They come out of the container relatively easily as it's very flexible and not hard plastic.
Also one reason why i choose this over other similar products was it's faceted bottom. It gives it a different design than the others and i consider it easier to hold onto rather than a cylinder. Something to consider.
Customer Review: Not nearly as cool as they seem.
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really stoked about these, and bought four trays to make enough for a party. However, apparently it wasn't taken into account that water expands as it freezes, so ALL of the 48 glasses that I made ended up with a "bulge" where the silicone rubber expanded into the glass, preventing them from even holding a full shot. Also, due to this same issue, the "bottom" of the glass had to then be melted down manually to make the glasses able to stand upright. If you want something that's kinda corny and fun for a one-time deal, and don't mind spending the money, go for it. If you intend to use these regularly at parties or in your home bar, I'd recommend a pass. Go with something that's maybe a little more sturdy to create the shape.Customer Review: Really Cool - no pun intended
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually the pun was intended... This product was exactly what I had expected and I couldn't be happier. Nice thick piece of silicon and the cubes popped right out after freezing (just run the holder under warm water for a few seconds). The textured bottom is a nice touch and makes them seem like they are really glass. I'm not sure how well the actual ice cube shot glasses are going to function but this holder certainly did its part of the job. I actually just ordered 2 more sets and I would recommend buying at least 2 because... well... the more drinks the better and they are ice after all which means they will melt. Not to mention these things are CHEAP. Practical = no, fun= yes, worth it= absolutely.
