    could be used to hold a marble, easily fit a bosher in there. Not what I use if for though.

    Does it have a screw top? Is it some sort of dispenser? Why aren't any other feckers having a pop?

    The top separates from the lower half, and it is not a dispenser. I'll get a photo with the top seperated from the bottom on tomorrow.

    No to all guesses so far.

    The device has a "snap" fit, and here it is open

    it is a mould, but not for chocolate (although it would probably work!)

    So to summarise so far, food mould but not chocolate? or a mould for something other than food?

    It is a mould for something that can be ingested, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it a food stuff.

    The hole in the white bit is to allow expansion and overflow as the stuff sets in the mould.

    It is a novelty ice cube maker, does it produce a miniature death star?

    Bing, Bing. we have a winner.

    It produces a mini Death Star.

    Fill the glass with your choice of Whisky (Islay single malt is my preference), and put the ice sphere in. Swishing the glass washes the giant ice sphere, cooling the whisky without watering it down too much.
