crushed
moon
little thin squares
chewblets

Sonic nuggets...they are the best!

snowy
shaved

I can't enjoy any of the crunchy form...so I now have tennis elbow from standing hunched-over my little ice shaver. If anyone knows of an ice shaver where you don't have to stand there and hold the power button, I'd love to hear about it!

My absolute favorite are those cubes that are formed from crushed ice. So when you bite into them they just crumble in your mouth.

Hi I'm new to this forum, but not new to chewing ice. I've been addicted to the stuff for almost all my life. I didn't start noticing the different types of ice until pretty recently and I have found the ice I prefer. I work in a hospital in the kitchen, which is where I think the best ice is found. Its extruded ice, similar to Sonic ice. We don't have a sonic here, but I have seen the commercials and know its similar in appearance. Anyway, I do leave work everyday with a huge 32 oz cup of this ice. I would take buckets of it home, but I'm not allowed. When I'm not at work, I love the ice from a local company called Good Time ice, or at least I think its local. I can get it at Walmart and Rutters(a conveniance store). Its somewhat soft and easy to chew. Well, I am just so excited to find there are other like me, and that I'm not crazy, thank you for creating this site!

Hello Christine!

Good to hear from you. Many hospitals do have excellent ice (I love the ice in our hospital's ER). Sonic ice is "pelletized" - small little nuggets that look like they have been extruded, so it is probably made by the same type of machine that you have at work.

I also like Glacier Ice (in bags). WalMart and the Giant supermarkets are the only ones in eastern PA that seem to carry it. Glacier Ice seems to have a "softer" consistency than other brands.

Happy ice chewing!

oh wowz.

defineitly sonic ice. soo goodd...

and snow ice.
i love the one at dairy queen too.
i could eat that all day

guess its nice to know im not the only one out there who can totally tell the difference between ice.
my sister just thinks its weird when i tell her we should go to sonic... and not get anything but the ice.

You do know that Sonic sells their ice by the bag, don't you? I have a small chest freezer in my garage...I get 8 bags at a time!!

I truly wish we had a Sonic around here. There is a small ice cream place close by that also uses that type of ice, and they will fill a cooler with it for free!

I like hollow ice. Why do some ice makers make hollow ice? Many times I will choose it over food!

a sonic ice just opened down the street! I did not know they sold it! I just will buy that instead of getting the slushes! I know what to ask what I want from dh for birthday!
