You know what I'm talking about, how people fill up their whole cup with ice before adding in the drink. It's just that, whenever I go to a restaurant or a fast food chain, it always happens, and I can't figure out for the life of me why people would intentionally sabotage their own drinks.
It makes sense to put ice in water, because when ice melts, it'll just blend in with the water. But why, why would anyone put that much ice in their cokes or what not? First of all, they're getting less drinks for the buck, because ice is taking up valuable coke space. And that's the whole reason restaurants add so much ice in their drinks, to save money.
But more importantly, they're ruining their own drink. I'm fine with adding two or three blocks of ice to make the drink cool, but when people fit in as much ice as they can into that 32 McDonald oz cup, what are they left with after 5 minutes? A drink that's 20% coke and 80% water. And if that's their thing, that's cool, but I prefer my coke to be pure coke.
I'm not trying to say that no one should put ice in their drinks, nor am I suggesting that I'm right and they're wrong. I don't mean for this to be condescending, it's just that I sincerely don't understand why people put so much ice in their drinks.
