Crushed ice or cubed ice in your drinks... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 09-29-2007, 05:46 PM

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.

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

tanquant · 09-29-2007, 06:40 PM

I agree with you Mikey. I prefer ice cubes. I love crushed ice with my slushie. It's the best.

Mikado · 09-29-2007, 06:50 PM

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

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

3 or 4 ice cubes in my drink.

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.

GARFIELDKOOL · 09-29-2007, 09:20 PM

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.

Mr. Television · 09-29-2007, 09:23 PM

I prefer Crushed Ice.

Number 9 Dream · 09-29-2007, 10:34 PM

I like either, but tend to prefer the cubes.
