The ICE Poll: Cube or Crushed?

[Zugzwang152]

If you're sipping a drink, then cubed because it melts slower. If you need to cool a drink fast, then crushed, because it has greater surface area = better cooling.

You've thought about this way too much.

i like the cubes that come in fountain drink machines, or in the bags you get at grocery stores. other than that, i dont like ice in general.

but between the 2, when they come out of the fridge, i'll take cubed.

 

[Encryptic]

I just use cubes.

Is that true? Lawmakers actually wasted time and paper making crushed ice illegal? Thats as bad as the US Congress concerning themselves with toilets.

I like crushed. Simply for the fact the ice maker in the fridge makes those crescent-shaped cubes and
it makes it a pain to drink when the glass gets low 😉

I hate crushed ice. Ice cubes are seprior in every way. They have a smaller surface area to volume ratio, so they melt much more slowly and thus last longer. They do a better job of cooling the drink and most importantly, they don't make your drink taste watered down after one minute.

Cube, they seem to last longer and I'm not really keen on eating ice cubes.

If I were an ice cube eater, I'd probably prefer crushed.

Neither. I don't like feeling ice against my lips. If the cup is covered, I prefer crushed.

I like Rabbit Turd Ice? the best. It's that ice that is shaped like small cylinders... looks kinda like rabbit turds... 😉
That's one of the best parts of going to Smithfields Chicken 'n Bar-BQ. Rabbit turd ice in the sweet tea.
Cold tea, slow melting, gives you something to munch on after you eat.
