  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I ordered a set last time they were on Woot. I was greatly disappointed by how they work (or more accurately, don't work). Glad I didn't pay much to see for myself.

I use them occasionally. It depends on how cold you really want your drink. They aren't going to chill your drink all the way down like ice would do. Just not how they work. If you want it to be a little bit under ambient temp, then these work well for that. Just don't expect them to knock the liquor down into the 40s and 30s.

Craig, I would use 5 stones for two fingers of liquor, and the temperature difference was barely noticeable. Worth a try for those interested for 5 bucks, but like Craig says, don't expect much.

Yup.. Similar experience for sure. Wish they chilled it a lot more.
