Never enough ice...

I like my drinks cold!!! No matter the drink, no matter the season (I don't like drinks that are usually served hot, like coffee or hot chocolate). The closest to freezing temperature, the better.

And if I'm eating, I almost always finish eating and THEN start drinking. So if my drink has no ice, it will warm up a little bit. If it has some ice, the top part will stay cold, but the bottom part will be warmer...if it's full of ice, it all stays cold and awesome!!!

I fill up my cup with ice, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way to the top, and then pour my drink. Yes, this has some disadvantages...mainly, as the ice starts melting, the drink will taste more watery, and the more ice in the cup, the less liquid you can put in there, but I can live with it. The only exception to this rule is coke, not soda in general, just coke. I don't like my coke with ice (and preferably straight out of the bottle/can), any other flavor...ice me.

But the temperature is not the only reason I do this...I love, and I mean LOVE eating ice cubes. Putting a couple of cubes in my mouth and just crush them to tiny bits. I like it so much, that sometimes I don't finish the drink, I just eat all the ice, then I refill the cup with more ice...yes, I'm that crazy. I also sometimes just go to the freezer, stick my hand in the ice cube compartment, grab a couple of them and in my mouth they go.

And as long as I can keep talking, or better said, before my lips and the inside of my cheeks get all numb from the cold, I can keep doing it. It takes about an hour before I start talking like a 4 year old.
