Ice is just great great stuff. One of the most useful things ever. I mean, think about strange life would be with no ice. Or even more interesting is that water expands when it freezes! Not many things do that! Can you imagine if the opposite were true? You will fill your glass with ice and delicious beverage to the brim and then as the ice melted it spilled over the side of your glass? That would be terrible.

I love soft ice. Like the kind at Sonic and Taco Via. But I hate ice when it's on the ground

Not a fan. Personally I would rather water just got super super cold but stayed liquid.

Not all ice is created equal, either. You want to buy ice from the places that keep it at like 10 or 20 degrees below 0 (F). Some places are cheap and it's only like 10 or 20 deg F which don't represent near as big of a calorie deficit from a beverage cooling perspective.

Ice makes cold drinks even better. Pour a can of Pepsi over ice even though it's already been chilling in the fridge? You're damn right I do.

I guess I just don't see what the big deal is. smh.

Is your aluminum can of High Life getting a bit too toasty? Pour that sucker in a glass with cubes of solid water and rescue your refreshment.

Hey guys and gals, looking for a diet tip? Ice is a great negative calorie food! Yes it is!

Also think about how awesome it is that ice floats! Amazing stuff!

if ice was more dense than water instead of less dense, life wouldn't exist!

Or it would sink to the bottom of the ocean ('cause density) causing the ocean temperature to keep dropping and freeze the entire world.

i really like how ice gets porous or something after a while in a liquid and then you can chew it and it chews just right, not too hard and brittle like fresh ice.

chingon, please explain the science of ice textures.

we'd just fill the glasses less. such an adaptable species.

You know how sometimes your ice cubes fuse together in your glass leading to a hilarious pour-crap-all-over-your-face moment? Or how that bag of ice in your freezer becomes one huge ice block, causing you to take an ice pick to it and accidentally poke a hole in your freezer? Well, that's a result of a process called sintering, and it's the same process used in industrial applications to mold metals, such as Tungsten, that have extremely high melting points without actually having to heat the material to said melting point.
