Do you have a preference when it comes to ice in your drinks? I never thought there was much of a difference but one time I realized that crushed ice works better for me. It keeps my drink colder without watering it down, much like cubed ice does. Also, if I let my soda sit for a while, it will still have lots of ice in it as opposed to the cubed ice which seems to melt faster.

We have a store here with a soda/lemonade dispensing machine where you can have the option of either cubed or crushed ice.

Either way, it doesn't matter - EASY ON THE DAMN ICE. I like ice, yes, but not when the server brings me a cup that is 3/4 ice and 1/4 soda. pissed:

I really don't have a preference. As long as there's not so much freaking ice in my drink, with the exception of water. The more ice in my water, the better. :D

Yea I prefer crushed Ice. It just makes the drink tastes a whole damn lot better especially when its like a million degrees outside!

Only crushed ice for me! Your right *Irene* it keeps the drink from getting watered down (especially sodas). And for some reason *for me* cubed ice makes drinking more difficult.. it blocks the drink when your trying to sip lol.

I prefer cubes but, maybe its cause whenever you buy anything with crushed ice, they seem to give you 90% ice, 10% drink :mad:

I know what you mean. If there is a straw available, great. If not, a big chunk of ice hitting your teeth. :crazy:

Even here at home, I will crush my cubed ice.

I'm not a fan of ice at all. If the beverage is cold, I don't even want ice. I never use it at home, and in restaurants, I always tell them light on the ice. It doesn't matter what kind of ice to me.

When I am at home, I use the cubes, but when I am out, I prefer it crushed. Most public places have it crushed anyways.

Cubed ice - and one or two at that. I hate it when you go out to eat and they fill up about 3/4 of the cup with ice and totally waters the drink down. :mad:

Doesn't matter to me. Ice is ice as long as it isn't the only think in my drink.

I agree I hate ordering a drink then taking a sip to see that it is 1/2 gone becuase it is full of ice.

Although for Scotch or Long Island drinks I prefer cubed ice (never gets a chance to melt anyway :lol: )

No ice. Only time I put ice in anything is when I just make some juice and it's not cold yet. And restaurants of course. Other than that, I don't like ice.

It doesn't matter what kind of ice to me.I have noticed if it doesnt have ice it doesnt taste as good,like the ice adjusts the flavour a little....

At Burger King 1 day for example. Ya know how the cup is smaller at the bottom and then gets wider as ya go up?

I usually fill the cup to the part where it starts to get wider with ice and it tastes delicious...... It doesnt taste the same w/o any ice in it!!

I prefer CUBED ICE but in restaurants you sometimes get crushed,depening on how thier machines do it....

I had yummy Orange Drink today at Mcdonalds and that I get no ice in because the flavour is so weak to begin with,the ice just waters it totally away...
