Cold drinks in the olden days

Remember when you were a kid how you had to struggle to pull up the lever on the aluminum ice cube tray until you heard a satisfying crack of the frozen water as the lever did its job? The top layer of your fingerprints would get stuck to the cold, cold metal as you inverted the silver, pink, or blue tray to get ice for a drink on a hot summer's day.

Maura, please tell us more. Was there an ice cube burglar in your house? Did anyone ever admit to forgetting to fill the tray? I hated it when I wanted a tall icy drink and opened the freezer door, only to find one lonely cube sitting next to eleven empty spaces in the tray. I think life is less complicated with an ice maker.
