I'm an ice-cube convert. I NEVER used ice-cubes. I thought they were annoying until we got our fridge that has the water and ice dispenser. WHEEEEEEE..... I basically fill my glass to the rim with crushed ice and probably only get 4 ounces of drink in there after the ice! My dentist had a fit when he heard that I love to sit there, drink the drink and then suck on and chew the ice!
