Amazon.com Review:
Talk about an ice breaker! This large mold, looking like a luge course at the Winter Olympics, fills with water, pops into the freezer for 24 hours to thoroughly freeze, and creates the most-talked-about party centerpiece in years. Drink shots poured in the top of the two chutes not only chill on their way downhill but can be raced against each other to see which one spills into the waiting glass first. Measuring 17 by 14-1/2 inches, the luge consists of a translucent-as-ice, durable plastic mold that sits on a lime-green base, and makes a definitely unique gift for your favorite party animal. --Ann Bieri

Great concept - poor execution:
I just can't get behind this. It's a great idea but just too hard to use. No thought in the construction "yeah, we'll make a plastic box to fill with water". Lips on the edges to at least HELP prevent spills would be nice. Imagine yourself filling this thing with water (12-14lbs) up to the very EDGE, and then having to lift it up, over, and into your freezer. I would like to hear from anyone who hasn't layered the bottom of their freezer with ice after using this.

works well until it cracks:
worked great for a few times--then it broke. don't use hot water on the plastic when it's frozen--it'll crack. lukewarm is the furthest i'd go.

Ice Luge:
Cracked when trying to remove it from plastic freezing case. Would like to attempt again though

Fun, But It's a One Time Use Product:
I read the review by someone else that warned it was a one-time use product, so I was really careful when I dumped the ice block out of the mold. I ran hot water over the top to loosen it up a bit. It came out reasonably easy and it was fun at the party. However, I just went to fill it up again and there is a hole in the mold now so it's basically useless. If you don't mind spending the ~$20 for a one time use thing, it's pretty good. But if you want to use it more than that, you will be very lucky to be able to do so.

Disaster:
There is no guide or spout at the end of the path and the drink ends up going all over the place. It defintiely never makes it into a shot glass and if you drink it right from the end of the luge, you are going to get it all down your chin and possibly your clothes. Also, the path is too small to actually chill any liquid. It is not worth the effort or mess.
