As many people have said the cause is sublimation. Have you ever
examined the ice-cube tray after a vacation? It will probably be
quite apparent that the cubes are smaller than when you went
away.

Yea that's true

Guess I haven't used ice trays for a while, I was thinking of making
some juice or maybe root beer cubes when it gets warmer though.
