Do you put ice in your soda when you drink it?

I never really did like this. It just seemed to water down the taste for me to the point where it tasted like soda flavored water. Of course, it was not as nearly bad as I tried that nasty experiment with ice and milk, but that is another story for another time. I drink out of the bottle or the can most of the time. If I need to cool it, I pop it in the freezer for about ten minutes. Do you put ice in your soda?

I put ice in all drink what I drink. You know It makes drinks more enjoyable and colder. In the begining I drink only soda drinks with ice, but later I have experimented with other drinks too. Example, with tea If It is so hot you can put some ice pieces and make It like ice tea. Also do you like cold bear? You can put It in the fridge, but If you have forgot It? You came for job and want to drink cold bear just put some ice piecies and It would be so good. Also you can put It one vine too. Put It in all your drinks. You know this helps in hot days too like in this day. Take care, Have a nice day!

Ice is by far the worst thing you can put in your soad or any other canned drink. In my country certain restaurants sell their drinks with ice and you have to specially tell them not to if you want to drink a real tasty drink. Ice just makes it more watery and it has no taste no more.

Yeah the weather here can get hot a lot of the time as well. When I have to be outside, I always have a cooler to put my drinks in, whether they be soda or water or whatever. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

For me, I think the soda tastes good when I put ice on it. I always drink soda and put so many ice on it.

Yes, for some it does. I know I get odd looks when I order soda somewhere and ask for them not to put ice in it. Perhaps I am the strange one. Of course, I tend to be the strange one more times often then not. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I don't like ice in my drinks at all. There are just so many negative side effects to it. It makes it more difficult to drink your drink unless you have a straw. It typically waters down your drink unless you drink it really fast. And by having ice in your cup, you're actually getting less of the beverage that you're trying to drink anyway. I'm not an ice fan at all.

Absolutely, I feel the same way. You really don't get really much and it really dilutes everything. When its hot, you might want to put ice in the drink but if it is hot, the ice will melt pretty quickly. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

No, I usually don't add ice to it, but I also don't request my soda without ice in restaurants and stuff. So I drink it both ways, and don't really care or think too much about it, which works for me!

Yes, its just one of those things where most people need it either one way or the other. Including myself, as I admit without any shame. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
