Horrible. You polluted classic Pepsi with soda crackers?
There shoulda been a law!
But, at least you had the latest ice trays.
Those handle release trays were great. 
They would make things a lot easier these days.
But then...so would hand cranks to start cars when the battery is empty.
Ah well...science marches on.
