This may be the most important question ever. Cake or pie? Who cares...

Coke v. Pepsi? Wake me when it's over...

Ice: The only thing better is more ice *trademark*

So which do you prefer?

Agreed. It also cools drinks quicker.

If a drink is cold, then I can go without ice, but my wife needs ice in her drink.

Crushed, particularly in Coca-Cola, which to me tastes best very cold and watered down just a little bit.

Right now I'm drinking a liter of Coke Zero from the back of case-fridge...And it's partially frozen at the top...And it's oh-so delicious. No need to worry about the ice melting, since it's Coke Zero ice... *droooooool*

I only put ice in when Im drinking shorts or Bulmers/Magners. They dont normally last long enough to let any of the ice melt any way.

If I ever use ice, I prefer it crushed. That said, however, I almost never use ice.

I guess cubed, but even though I love my drinks really, really cold, I find ice just makes them taste too diluted. Crushed ice does sound pretty nice though :P

Drinks should already be chilled. Ice doesn't really help, and sometimes it waters down the drink. Plus, at restaurants, you get that much more out of every glass.

Liquid nitrogen? Seems like the two liquids would just mix and screw with the flavors... Solid carbon dioxide (aka dry ice) is the real way to go.

CRUSHED!

i like how it makes drinks into borderline slushies. Plus, it had more efficient cooling properties...crushed ice wont melt into your drink as fast as cubed ice.

crushed ice is also better to eat...it is smaller, so it melts fast, whereas cubed ice is huge and takes minutes to melt, and it freezes your tongue and/or brain

Crushed ice has more surface area, so it cools the drink faster

I prefer crushed but I can deal with cubes. As long as it keeps my drinks cold, I have no problem with either.

1. When you put an equal amount of weight of crushed ice, the same you'd put in cubed, it cools faster because there is more surface area.

2. When you put one piece of crushed ice in your mouth, it is smaller than one cube, so it melts faster.
