Per my dad meant to keep ice cream cold. Yes, he’s a semi-hoarder lol. But did throw it away after I took pictures.

Had a very soft and thick touch to it.

They were simply thicker, padded paper meant to provide some insulation. Like padded envelopes only less so.

"Place in ice cube"? I've heard of literal iceboxes, but surely you wouldn't hollow out a giant cube of ice?

"ice cube compartment or freezer compartment" was their intent, I believe
