Has anyone invented the re-freezable ice cube?

Question

I'm thinking that  a plastic cube (like an icecube shape) filled with sterilized water that expnads just enough to fill the volume that wouldn't dilute the drink by melting and dissolving and could be reused with a quick rinse and back into the freezer is an idea I had that makes me ask, "Why didn't somebody think of this before?"  I think it's a great idea and if it's original and somebody files a patent, I think I should get a percentage.  They can work out the logistical side of how it could be manufactured and could be called "Wonder Cubes" or "Magic Rocks" or something better than that.  It's my idea and if it's new, you read about it here.  Any takers?

Lol sorry.. I have some plastic ice cubes that have lights in them! You freeze them, use them, and put them back in the freezer. And I think they even came from the christmas tree shops lol .

they are little plastic flowers, filled with "water" and you stick them in your drink, wash when needed, and refreeze

I saw those when I was a kid.  Came in all kinds of colors and shapes.  Mid to late 80's.

Specifically for cooling drinks.  Came filled with liquid (I'm assuming water, but I dunno).
