My sister says I should write a book about the ice I have had, where I found it, and where the best dialysis chewing ice in town can be found.  I love self serve soda machines.  Especially the ones with the good crunchy ice in them.
So far:  AM/PM where you can get your choice of crunchy ice or cubed ice.  I usually make a mixed cup of both kinds of ice.
Gus' JR. restaurants that have crushed ice.  Nice to get a full cup of ice and diet coke from them. Just pour the diet coke off the ice and you have tasty ice.
Walgreen's Drugstore for small ice cubes in the small bags. The big bags have ice that is not good chewing ice. Chunks are too big.
Stater Bros ice in big bags is too big to crunch on without breaking your teeth. You need a hammer to get this stuff into a cup.

My unit has the best ice.  Little  squares.  Just melts in ur mouth. 
I don't know why everyone I come across in town thinks Sonic has the best ice.  I think not,  I hate there ice.  YUCK ! ! !
I also like the ice that comes out of my moms fridge.  The ice that comes out of my grams fridge tastes so bad.  It use to be real good.  So I don't know what changed.   :'(

The only "dishonest" thing I do (that I know of) is when I go to a fast food place I ask for water and they give me a cup.  I go over and get ice and a shot of root beer.  I just want flavored ice but I don't want to pay $1.75 for it.  I feel guilty though.

I love the ice at DaVita.  Little balls of ice that melt when you bite down on them.  They could sell that stuff.  I shouldn't give them any ideas.

You shouldn't feel guilty as a lot of pop gets wasted and a little shot doesn't cost any company any money and the ice is free! We didn't ask for Kidney Disease! I say the next time grab a shot with that in mind! Enjoy the little taste of heaven in our own personal hell we share Rerun!  :beer1; :cuddle;

They have the best ice at my dialysis unit. It's shaped like little tubes and it's almost like crushed ice formed into shapes, so it's not really hard.

I bought this indurstial ice crusher.  I don't like it.  It is just little pieces of hard ice.  For some reason I thought it would create little balls of soft ice.  It is going in my next garage sale.

The Brand name is Waring Pro but it sucks!  I just did a search for ice crushers.  The first one I got you had to turn a handle so they let me send it back and then I got this electric one.  It is just not the same as the one at the center because it uses my ice cubes.  The one at the center makes it own little tiny balls and I love it.

not tequila, goofynina, you have to use kahlua for that - especially those ready mix mudslide ones. . .

We used to have a store that sold New Orleans Snowcones and they had something like 50 flavor syrups.  I used to get a mocha kahlua flavored one every day I was working.  It wasn't actually alcoholic, thankfully, but ooooohhh so good.

I bet all those fancy flavorings you can get at the fancy coffee shops would make great snowcones.
