Default Controversy of the day
Mine's a Gin and Titanic



THESE ice cubes shaped like the Titanic and icebergs have been branded "sick" - because they urge drinkers to recreate the 1912 sea disaster which killed 1,522 people.

A cube-making kit called Gin and Titanic jokes: "Sink another round!"

Historian Brian Ticehurst said: "They are distasteful.

"How long will it be before they make ice cubes of the Twin Towers?"

US maker Fred and Friends called its cubes "functional and fun."

It said: "Somebody is always offended by something."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Like they say: tragedy + time = comedy.

I want to chew on that piece of ice.
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

Don't you dare.

Contracting your jaw muscles a certain way on frozen water will directly affect the rest of the world. Who gave you the right to chew? I didn't, so you can't do that.

If there are any Titanic survivors left and they object then it should be pulled.

The last one died a few months ago. Maybe they were waiting for her to kick off before marketing this.

It hasn't been 100 years yet, but I don't don't think "time" has anything to do with it. Pretty sure we won't be seeing Holocaust-themed ice cubes 30 years from now. "Good taste" doesn't have an expiration date.

Nah, getting upset about an ice cube is pretty lame and VERY drama queen / attention whore.

I'm not offended by the cubes. Just playing devil's advocate.

The Bum & Coke making kit should be a big hit.

As an aside, don't chew ice!

I had done so for years until I found out that I popped out a filling because the ice that I was chewing caused it to get really cold and break!

I'd find it offensive if little ice people were jumping out of it and ruining my cocktail.
