2-pack of 8-cube silicon large ice-cube trays::
I have two regular-sized ice cube trays from the same people, that I’ve been using for the last six years or so, and they are perfectly satisfactory. FWIW
Edit: why is this getting downvotes?

If the packaging is a reusable mold then this makes sense.
At one time I owned some brightly colored, ping pong ball sized refreezable drink coolers. They were plastic and good for slightly less then one drink. Someone actually bought them at a yard sale I had.
I started using an insulated lunch cooler in the freezer to make clear ice. Its great!!!
How does that work?
Slowly.
Seriously.
All you need is to make the ice freeze slowly, and when it's all frozen you just melt off the not clear part and you've got clear cubes.
You could also set your freezer to just below freezing and achieve similar results.
I knew someone at a bar who would use 4 foot lengths of PVC tubes. They'd fill the tubes and freeze them. The bottom half would be clear and the top half would have all of the impurities etc. (or maybe the other way?). The dirty half would get smashed for the well and the clear part would get polished into spheres.

Tell me more about how freezing water is the end of civilization.
Just because people are paying a premium for it doesn't make it any worse than the bags of ice at the grocery store.
Ice was one of the first things humans used to keep things cold, and was super important on the path to refrigeration and freezing.
While I know a lot of technologies are overused, and capitalism twists them to disgusting ends, but refrigeration is a massive boon for making food last longer. Most American families just have ones far larger than they need and as such they end up wasting food instead of getting fresh food regularly and using it all up before it goes bad in the fridge. I personally enjoy a small fridge.
Also, freezers and refrigeration are an integral part of the medical sciences.
Anyway, personal opinion, this is pretty innocuous compared to like, jet travel between Seattle and Portland.
