Creepy Trick Ice Cubes Safety Tip

If you’re serving the trick ice cubes to young children, it’s best to alert them to the fake toy in their drink to avoid any choking hazards. At parties, always display your creepy trick ice cubes in a punch bowl. That way when drinks are served you can make sure the ice cube (and the fake toy) won’t end up in anybody’s glass.
