Ice Ball Machine

We went to Hoteresu the other day, Japan's premiere restaurant show. Like any convention at Javits or Moscone Center, the massive spaceship of a building had been filled with food and drink companies, appliance mega-conglomerates and tableware producers, displaying their newest products and inventions for all of us brainwashed consumers. Like a well-oiled machine, Hoteresu was capitalism at its finest!

This was the highlight of the convention:



An ice ball machine!!! Called "Hole in Ice", this machine by refrigeration company Hoshizaki dispenses medium-sized balls, for your drinking pleasures.



How about stars?



Or hearts!



Kold Draft ice cubes just got really boring.
