As we all know, staying hydrated is key to maintaining good health, especially as we get older. Our bodies may not signal thirst as effectively, and with the Australian heat, it's all too easy to become dehydrated. But, thanks to a nifty little gadget from Kmart, keeping your water intake up has become a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.

The latest buzz among savvy shoppers is a $6 ice tray that's causing quite a stir. This isn't just any ice tray; it's specifically designed for those large 'emotional support water bottles' that have become a staple for many of us. The genius of this gadget lies in its ability to create long tubes of ice, which slide perfectly into popular insulated tumblers, keeping your drink refreshingly cold for hours on end.


The discovery was shared by a clever mum on her 'Oh so busy mum' Facebook page, which boasts a following of over 200,000. Her post showcased the ice tray and its perfectly sized ice tubes, which she uses to keep her kids' Stanley cups filled with cold water throughout the day. The response was overwhelming, with followers expressing their excitement over this simple yet effective tool.


One follower exclaimed, 'Stanley’s may hold their temp but good lord I like a drink so cold it gives me a headache so I’ll pop these in any day of the week.' Another shared a personal anecdote, 'My daughters brought me a Stanley for Christmas… then last night, one of the girls turned up home with the ice tray - never been so excited for an ice tray.'


While the silicon molds might be a bit tricky to pop out, fellow Kmart enthusiasts were quick to offer a solution: 'Put under a hot tap for a few seconds; it makes it a lot easier to get out,' suggested one helpful mum.

Of course, there were some skeptics who questioned the need for such a gadget, given the high performance of insulated cups like Stanleys and Yetis, which are designed to keep drinks cold for extended periods. 'I thought these cups were meant to keep drinks cold for 24 hours? I've never added ice to mine, and they are still cold the next day,' one commenter wrote.

Despite the skepticism, the excitement for this ice tray is undeniable. It's not just about keeping drinks cold; it's about the pleasure of sipping on something extra chilly, the convenience of having a gadget that fits your specific needs, and the joy of finding a bargain that enhances your daily routine.


So, dear members of the Seniors Discount Club, if you're looking to elevate your hydration game or simply love finding clever gadgets that won't break the bank, this $6 Kmart find might just be your next best purchase. It's a small investment for a big improvement in your daily water-drinking experience.
