Assuming they fit, most of the contents of the glass would overflow after I dropped a couple in. “drop two balls in a glass of water, ginger ale or other drink” – they look too big to drop into a normal size glass.

It's "silver lustre" is long gone. It is brass, with just trace amounts of the silver plating. The hermetically sealed water wasn't so hermetically sealed, as it is gone. I know it is the correct item because of the brand name printed on the vacuum seal area button. I wonder if I have the last surviving Silverice Ball? I have one of these spheres.

The vintage ad says “SILVERICE BALLS are much more convenient than ice cubes”, but I’d disagree. The first thing that comes to mind is an image of Daffy Duck getting shot in the teeth, by Elmer Fudd, and receving a big hole in his smile.
