I'm fascinated with these retro pineapple treats. They look brownie-size, but the box says to freeze them in ice-cube trays, so they must be kinda tiny.
I wonder if they meant the old aluminum ice trays with the inserts that came completely out? Then you'd be freezing a big long rectangle instead of little cubes? Ugh. I hate showing my age sometimes! :)
I think "ice cube trays" means the old school ones with separate dividers that you can put in or take out, depending on whether or not you are making ice cubes or some kind of delicious freezer treat.
I have lots of old Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks that call for things to be frozen in ice cube trays, sans dividers.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Maybe they mean those old-school ice cube trays where the metal grid thing comes out.

I think it means one of those aluminum ice cube trays, with the divider taken out.
