I always ask for no ice, and if they don't fill it to the brim I say well I'm not paying for that and leave them with a 7/8ths full cup of fizzy pop. Bastards.

You can always ask for no (or very little) ice, anywhere you go... and if they don't listen to you (and you mind the extra ice), just send it back. They'll get the hint eventually. At a lot of the restaurants I go to, they've recently been blindly adding a lemon wedge to my water. I'm not a fan of this (and they default to water with lemon even when I don't ask for lemon), so I'll specifically ask them for water without lemon. And usually I just take the lemon off the lip of the glass if they mess up my drink order, but if they toss a lemon wedge into my drink I'm not necessarily above sending it back (as there's something undesirable in my glass, and I'd rather not fish it out). I order lemonade when I actually want a lemony drink taste in my mouth; if I ask for water, I just want some ice cold, refreshing water without a flavoring... plus, I hate getting the seeds sucked in when I'm taking large gulps of the drink.

Also, I think the negative looks that you get for enjoying your ice stem more from the loud crunches that ice in your mouth may make (especially if you chew like a cow/ with your mouth mostly open). Other than that, I'd have no idea why someone would care what food or drink is in your mouth lol.

I thought it was well known ice cubes from restaurants have very high amounts of bacteria.

they're probably staring at you because they think you're sexually frustrated.

Holy fuck why do they not advertise this.

Do they have it at Burger King as well? I prefer Whoppers to Big Macs.


Please tell me you don't actually eat whoppers or big macs.

I love whoppers! I eat at Burger King twice a month.

Depends on the restaurant too, if they have free refills then I'll take the extra ice because it'll.probably last all six rounds of Coke.

Definitely, although over time the ice may melt and water down your drink :/

I wouldn't classify it as socially unacceptable; I never really get stares when I do it. Not frequently at least. I do it if other people are still eating and I'm done just for something to do, but if I go and pick up a burger and fries somewhere on my own I don't bother eating it.

My mother has an ice addiction. She eats it all the time, she doesn't even need a drink as an excuse to eat it. I remember in winter she would actually take an ice tray in the car with us to work. And sometimes she would buy bags of ice, 3kgs at a time, every second day. It was crazy.

On a lesser note, I like eating ice too, but not that badly. It only started when I had my tongue pierced and I sucked on ice to keep the swelling down a bit.

Yeah I heard it was bad for your teeth too so instead I just let it melt in my mouth, as far away from my teeth as possible.

I have no idea why people give you weird stares...to be honest I think they're the weirdos. There's nothing wrong with enjoying ice. Its like a nice, slow, cool sip of water in your mouth. What's wrong with that?

I always eat the ice if it hasn't molten yet. And I do very much enjoy putting ice in my beverages, so that they are as cold as possible. Any cold beverage that is good, gets better with ice.

Soda, cider, beer - You name it, ice improves it.


Ice dilutes the drink. Soda/beer/whatever doesn't taste as good when it's watered down. There's a good amount of ice and then there's the amount that servers put.

Put some rocks that you found outside into your freezer. Throw those into drink instead of ice so you won't dilute it. Yay!

Or those small ice cube shaped plastic things filled with water that act as reusable ice cubes and don't dilute it either.

Commercial ice is usually made of water from the sink, not tap water. Not a good idea to put those in your mouth

wat. it's already in your drink, what difference does it make?

Although I will admit that this is one reason I generally don't get ice in my drinks, period.
