Why do people put ice in drinks that are already cold?

To keep it cold. Without the ice it'll get warm.

Cold as in straight from the fridge isn't nearly as cold as when it has ice. I like my drinks to be very cold.

I agree with you totally Natural_Genius. I never use ice either for those exact reasons. Those that do just haven't seen the light yet!

[QUOTE="Dman0017"]to keep it cold?Natural_Genius
unless you plan on sitting with that same cup for the next 2 hours, then using ice to keep it cold wont really matter. And besides, by the time any noticable changes in temp come around, you will already have finished your meal, unless it takes you 2 hours to eat, but by that time, your ice would have melted anyway. Seriously try it next time you go out to eat, and then come back and tell me I am right. This is called thinking outside the box. Challenge the norms, don't just be a zombie and do everything everyone else does without thinking why you do it.

When I eat at fast food, etc, I usually finished my meal and then bring the drink with me. So, if there's no ice, sometimes by the time I finish the drink, it's lukewarm. Most times when I'm drinking it in the restaurant, I don't use ice; I just put ice in when I get by refill before leaving.

It's either because it's their personal preference or because they're too lazy/absent-minded (at the time) to bother to ask for their drink without ice. But in regards to places at which you serve your own drinks... I don't know. Personal preference, I suppose.

I dont usually put ice in my drinks. I drink it before its warm.

And I always ask for no ice when I go to fast food places. I went to wendys a while ago, they gave me like a cup full of ice!! Why use soo much...yeah I know, they wanna save money....

I used to not put ice in my drinks. Man was that stupid. Ice rules and it makes the drink colder than colder, that would be colderer.
