Do you put in a glass for drinking one can of soda?

We are talkin 16mL cubes here, no some fancy euro trash.

2 or 3. Less cubes = less watered down taste (assuming soda is reasonably cool, etc).

Greatly depends on ice size (WTF how big is 16ml of ice? ;)), shape, glass, and current beverage temprature.

I don't pour my pop into a glass. I drink out of the can. Also , I don't usually add ice cubes to soft drinks.

However, When drinking things with liquor, I usually add a bunch of ice. say, 7 or 8 cubes worth.

As many as will fit in the glass.

diet soda tastes better when it is soooo cold that the artifical sweetner cannot be tasted.

consumer-grade soda tastes worse with ice cubes. However, fountain soda at restaurants and such tastes better with about a 3:2 soda/ice ratio, as the recipes used to mix the soda account for ice being added and melting, thinning out the ratio of syrup to soda water.

I usually drink soda straight from the can, and I keep them in the fridge, so none. If I've got a 2-liter or something, usually 6-8.

I don't drink that much soda anymore....I drink unsweetened iced tea all the time though...and man do I stack the ice.......plus I like using really big cups so, the ice will cool it way down.....no little 4oz-8oz cups for me thats like two drinks.....I'm a big water and iced tea drinker....I almost always have a cup within like 5 ft of me....

Basically I like my drinks almost as cold as is possible without freezing espicially most beers...

Nothing pisses me off more than warm beer at a bar.....I'll leave bars over this...
But, hey I'm paying extra by having it at a bar....they could at least serve it cold

Wine is a different story though... reds about 55-60 F.....whites I dunno refrigerator temperature or a little above....kinda depends for me on whites..

I'm a drink temperature freak
