This upsets them every time I see it.

This is our icemaker, it comes out in sheets with cubes attached so obviously you need a way to break up the sheets AND get them out into a cup.

Rubber mallet AND cast Ice scoop. I just use the ice scoop to gently break up the ice (it literally takes all the effort of the scoop falling on them) then scoop it, I figured everyone thought of that by now....nope. They ALL use the hammer, then the scoop.

But...you could use the hammer. Which is a hammer and infinitely more satisfying than the ice scoop.

Fucking ninja edit. I'm still leaving my original comment.

Haha. I looked at the picture and figured it out right away. "Oh cool, just hit the scoop and dump it into your cup"

Also, I wish we had an ice maker. Nobody here ever refills the trays.

This. Hammer is more fun for smashy smashy.

Oh.

I'd just bang the ice on top of my head!

I'd totally use the hammer because it would be way more fun.

Love that label. "Please do not leave the scoop or hammer in the ice bin." Just in case the dept of health came by for a visit, this way you couldn't claim someone must have just left a dirty rubber mallet on top by accident.

something about a rubber mallet on the ice im about to consume never sat right with me. besides its not a big enough aperture to really have fun with the hammer.

It's a matter of efficiency. No job is complete without hitting something with a hammer, so you can either break up the ice with the scoop, then hit it with the hammer, which is pointless, or just break it with the hammer.

Yeah you're probably right about it being kinda dirty. That's a pretty crap design for an ice machine.

My engineering sensibilities says that ice maker is larger than it needs to be

too true, though it is sitting on stand.

The scoop is supposed to be kept on the side, with a drain on the bottom so it stays dry. This shit is so unhygienic I can't even say more.

Trays? What is this - 1950?

I grew up with the trays; I'm never going back.

If there is a hammer. It'd be rude not to use it.

P.S. Now can't get this song out of my head. Thanks Obama. Wait, what!

Same here. I didn't have a 'fridge with an ice maker until I moved into the place we currently live, two years ago. Miraculous.

But at work, where there are 16 people using the same freezer... come on. Let's get an ice maker.

The one in my fridge does this too, but it falling into the bin is enough to break it up, that's how easy it is.

Luckily, at my work the ice is already broken up.

Replace the mallet with an ice pick and laugh all day as people get unnecessarily murdery on that ice.

Why not buy a slingshot and fire individual cubes at the sheets? That's how the cool kids are doing it.

cool kids?

Just buy one, hook it up, and expense it.

Only problems there are the buying it and the expensing it...

We have exactly the same ice machine at work. We gone with the just hit it with the scoop method.
