You've probably seen the videos while scrolling through your social feed of these "fancy" cubes. It's the internet's coolest craze. And if you have no idea what we're talking about, let us break it down for you.

What are the "fancy" ice cubes from TikTok?

Basically any ice outside of your average frozen water cube. They can be different shapes, sizes, and (most fun of all) flavors. See for yourself ⬇️

This TikToker made strawberry kiwi ice balls, heart-shaped matcha ice, mini coffee ice cubes, and strawberry rose-shaped ice. And that's just one video. There are hundreds of videos just like this showing the cute, cold creations. Also, peep the separate freezer containers for each. It's an entire drawer dedicated to ice!

You could also use water balloons, like in the video below. Fancy, yet cheap.

Once you've got your shape figured out, then it's all about that flavor. Many TikTokers are freezing coffee, lemon juice, berries, cucumbers, and more. You can freeze anything your heart desires really. Here's some more inspiration for you.

Why are people so obsessed with fancy ice cubes?

It's not hard to see the appeal. They are pretty to look at, and can take your beverage to the next level. If you're an iced coffee drinker, making coffee cubes can prevent your cup of joe from tasting watered down. Also, imagine sliding an ice cylinder into your water bottle with ease and never having to crush cubes in again. Did we mention they're pretty to look at too?
