Ice-cold soda or soda on ice -- which do you prefer?

[Bertha Venation]

My sister dreams of big-ass Cokes with icebergs in them. I dream of cans of Coke that have been sitting in cracks in the iceberg for a couple of hours.

Which do you prefer when you drink your favorite soda

1. Ice cold soda...no ice.

The ice melts in the cola, making it more watery.

Plus, no annoying cubes to deal with. :-)

2. beer or scotch

[Fenris]

3. No ice, but ice cold. Ice leads to diluted soda.

No water, dammit!

Being the Coca-Cola addict that I am, I need my drink free from foreign contaminants like water or ice. Ice especially because it's misleading.;)

[exJW]

24. Dilutes?? Try this technique, New "Guzzling"

It works!

[k in IA]

4. Pop - What the hell is soda?

just kidding. What are the demographics for who calls it soda and who calls it pop? It definitely must be a geographic thing.

Some people want the carbonation and some people don't like the diluting effect of ice. Just my theory.

[baldguy]

12. There's a website, of course!

"soda" is defiantly in the minority.

17. That is very cool! In case anyone was wondering,

I am a native Southern Californian. :D (Transplanted to Charles County, MD, where 57% of respondents said "soda." :7)

[tridim]

5. Ideally

Dr. Pepper or Coke in a can, in the freezer for about 40 minutes just as ice crystals begin to form, but before it goes solid.

9. We're cut from the same cloth.

BTW, about your sig line, that GOP math is so fuzzy that I don't get it. I understand the gay marriage = marry a turtle thing, but I don't know from mathematical symbols . . . . enlighten a mathematical bonehead?

[jpgray]

14. Daily Show bit

Two straight parents are better than a single straight parent which is still better than two gay parents which are equivalent to a man having sex with a box turtle. :D

[Bertha Venation]

15. "better than" -- that's the operator I wasn't getting.

Gawd. I am a mathematics train wreck. Did you see the thread I posted several weeks ago, asking for help in figuring out by what percentage Petco's cat litter was more expensive than PetSmart's? Big "D'OH!" -- it was twice as expensive . . . I shoulda just dialed 1-800-DUMBASS.

Thanks for the lesson!

[jpgray]

16. Typical liberal!

Refuses to stratify society into the better-thans and worse-thans! :P

[GumboYaYa]

6. A cold drink will suit me just fine, thank you.

[TX-RAT]

8. On ice with 3 fingers of Crown please.

[redqueen]

11. Ice cold, but no ice

Takes me forever to finish one, and I can't stand the watered down stuff that's left by the time I get to the last half.

[tigereye]

13. root beer float

[Kellanved]

18. ice in soda is an abomination

However I admit that the local sodas are a lot less sweet to start with.

[WoodrowFan]

19. voted OTHER

cause I liked canned (or bottled) POP better without ice but fountain POP better WITH ice.

[JVS]

35. same here

[AlabamaYankee]

20. The only carbonated beverage I drink is beer

Preferably Yuengling Lager

[curse10]

21. I don't like ice

ice is icky! and waters down perfectly good beverages!

[LiberalManiacfromOC]

22. POP on ice!

because I have an ice eating fetish!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

23. Ice Cold soda

on ice.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. You just don't like the sound of the sentence "Pop on Ice" And I know why

:)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

25. You can drink Coke without rum? Oh the horror, the horror

[Huckebein the Raven]

26. I like mine without ice as well

[AwakeAtLast]

27. It's Coke, dammit! eom

[Rhiannon12866]

28. Does your sister chew ice? I used to chug the soda to get to the ice

She could be anemic, if she does this. That was my problem. I heard on the news "do you chew ice? you could be anemic." which stopped me in my tracks. They were right. I was, severely. And I lost a tooth because of it. If this is what she does, she should get tested. The hematologist prescribed iron, the most readily absorbed, ferrous fumarate. Maybe I'm way off, but I couldn't help sharing, after what I went through, if this could be the problem.:shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

33. Nope. She drinks her Coke quickly, then pours more before the ice melts.

No anemia. But thanks!

No more problems for you? Your blood's good & red? :hi:

[DemBones DemBones]

29. I chose other because

prechilled Coke and Coke over ice are almost two different drinks, so sometimes I want one, sometimes the other.

[haele]

30. ice cream....

french vanilla for the colas or root beer, butter pecan with ginger ail, and chocolate ripple for any orange or berry flavored soda...

That, and an icy cold mug to put them in.

31. "I wanna coledrink wit'ice!"

In New Orleans we call it a "cold drink" instead of "soda."

[arwalden]

36. My South Georgia Relatives Say "Co-cola"...

instead of "Coca Cola". And that's the generic term for just about any caramel colored carbonated drink. Pepsi = Cocola, Tab = Cocola.

[VOX]

32. Prefer it with ice.

The soda coats the ice, and it too is good. Drives my wife *crazy*!

[JVS]

34. Pop

[daisygirl]

37. I like to water down perfectly good pop with ice!

I don't drink much pop, but when I do I like ice in it - too sweet otherwise. Unless it's orange soda - that I like just fine without ice.

39. Glass bottles of Coke in a tub with ice

:9 :beer:

[ChoralScholar]

40. I pour room temperature Dr. Pepper over ice.

the resulting dilution weakens it just enough that I can drink it all at once.

For some reason I just can't drink it straight. If I do, it takes me forever.

[ellie]

42. Neither,

I like warm pop. It seems to go down better.
