    This can be made more interesting by adding different varieties of shapes to make every drink more interesting, specially for kids, like star shaped, square, triangular, hexagonal ,etc - It would be nice to have ice "cubes" in those shapes, whichever design wins!

    I like this design, its my favorite! But I am concerned with how easy it is to flex for easy ice removal, & how water is going to stay in the ice cube space only! If the middle had a chamber for filling water to flow into each spot for ice cube formation, & this part maybe be a bendy silicon for the flexing growth as ice expands when freezing & easy bend flex for ice removal. I am trying to see how water is going to just stay in the ice cube space. Also with it being hard to pull it out of holder, the lid could have a whole for our fingers to go through to get a better grip for pulling... :))

    This design is awesome. I would make one slight adjustment of putting in a keying slot or two along the length of the tube to ensure separation of the ice pieces. Illustrated here: http://www.quirky.com/ideations/201302

    This needs a rectangular hole through the middle, that will allow inward deflection as the water freezes, and for ease of pulling the divider out.

    It also needs a way for water to communicate from one chamber to the next that isn't cylindrical around the full circumference.

    For a concept along these lines, see http://www.quirky.com/ideations/199820

    To make it easier to pull ice out I suggest to add a screw thread on the top of the tube. Otherwise I assume to be quite difficult to pull the ice out with ease.

    This is the original design which is why it was voted. This is the coolest.

    I love this idea and the way the tube looks! Somewhat futuristic! AND No moere spillingg water on the way to the freezer.

    I think it will be really hard to pull out the ice cubes.

    SORRY BUT ITS NOT GONE WORK
    AFTER FREEZING YOU CANNOOT TAKE IT OUT BY PULLING

      I think you're suppose to bend it at different parts so it loosens. Then you pull it.
