The Ice Hierarchy
Ice dramatically alters beverage experience.
This is one of the most important and least respected truths in modern civilization.
GOOD ICE:
- crunchy Sonic ice
- pebble ice
- tiny hospital ice
- shaved ice
- soft chewable ice
- slush texture
DANGEROUS ICE:
- giant cubes
- sharp freezer ice
- weird hollow cylinders
- ice with freezer smell
- cloudy suspicious ice
- crunchy-in-a-bad-way ice
Some people want beverages specifically because they crave:
- crunch
- cold stimulation
- oral sensory feedback
The ice itself becomes part of the experience.
There are people emotionally attached to Sonic ice with the intensity of medieval knights swearing fealty to a king.
They are correct.
