if you used juice to make the outside, when it melted your hands would be all sticky and your floors would be a MESS!

use the outside cup to hold th ice

yes it does... you just may not have the newest flash player out...

Works on FireFox 2.0.16 just fine.

I am using Firefox and it is playing. So it might be some other problem.

Yah, works for me too.

Then reverse it, use a SMALLER cup inside and fill it with ice

They are perfect for my house which is called the "snow base" by me and my friends cuz we are snowboarders and i got plenty of boxes and rails next to the house (in fact its on the mountain) anyway making a big party of snowboarders during the winter all of us are wearing our gear/gloves etc... so it really feels a good spirit to have a drink outside watching the others ... for example

That sounds like it would work, maybe also tap the side a bit to get out air bubbles before freezing and then take a torch to the sides of the glass, just briefly, after you take it out to clear it up a bit.

If you boil the water, all of the impurities leave....I Think.... That should get it clear, also if you heat the ice it gets easier to see through (thats what they do with ice sculptures). Another idea would be to make the ice cup flavored (no soda it doesn't freeze well) or using food color to change the color of the glasses. Just another idea.

Food coloring is an awful idea in my opinion because then your countertops, your hands, your guest clothes, your carpet, peoples mouths, etc etc all end up stained. Same thing goes for making them out of juice or anything but plain water... it would just make a terrible sticky mess.

I don't know, The beverage is the cup would be cool, your drinking the cup!

Hmm...the food coloring was already suggested...oh well.

why use scotch tape

What?????????????

Don't invite "drunks" to your party! Duh

This aint an idea for serving kool-aid!

I apologize for the following: That would be so fracking lame---totally kills the awesomeness of the idea--unless you are old I guess. (As I said, sorry.)

What if you don't want to get your hands wet?

Then don't use an (epic) ice cup.
