Did you know that “ice cubes” were initially invented to lower the room temperature? When the american physician John Gorrie built the first fridge in 1844 it hung from the ceiling and produced chunks of ice helping lowering the indoor temperature, maybe the first ice cubes ever.
Nowadays we have more efficient ways to stay cool while at home but the ice cubes remains and today there is an endless variety of original ice cube molds and other products that will help you stay refreshed this summer and here we present a couple of our favourites.
