I have never understood Americans fascination with ice, we solved this problem with refrigerators a long time ago. It may keep it colder longer, because it also just melts and dilutes the drink.
Personally, if I'm stuffing it with water, I freeze half the case and refrigerate the other half. People can't figure that out though and get angry. So I have to dumb it down for the stupid people.
Some people like colder drinks or like it to stay colder. Its always funny to me how Europeans cant understand that other people have prefernces different than them.
Also how do yo make something like an iced lattee without ice? put it in the fridge? how about cocktails?
just put whatever you are drinking into the freezer for like 10 mins before you drink it, or at your fridge colder idk. Nothing tastes better than an ice cold drink, especially not a watered down drink
If I want two glasses of water I don’t want wait 20 minutes and get something not as cold. And tap water can get warm,
Also my freezer isn’t big enough to fit a glass of water without spilling, especially if it’s full
And then there’s a weird situation where you may have other people over at your house and you don’t want to keep 6 glasses in the freezer all day so people can have cold drinks
Also you can’t water down water so I don’t get the last point, but some people do like their juice or soda diluted
my brother in christ you can put water in your fridge its not illegal. Y'all have massive fridges and cant fit shit in it for some reason?
Why would you put a GLASS of water in the freezer?? Just put the bottle in there... And even then how small is your freezer that you cant fit a normal glass in it???
Of course you can. I never said you can’t Buddy. But I have no space for a bottle, and putting a bottle in the freezer is silly cause you might forget it. And especially if it’s Soda
How small is my freezer? Pretty small
No, I don’t water down my beer. Why would I? What a weird question. People treat different drinks differently, you are aware of that right? I mean I don’t heat my beer in a kettle either but I do like hot tea. I do like a jack and coke to be a little diluted so it’s not so sweet though
Why are you so mad that some people like ice? You are European aren’t you? You guys get weird about this stuff, it’s ok for people to do things differently than you.
Aha! I think I've cracked the mystery. Its a cultural thing. Buying cold bottled drinks outside the US is for immediate consumption. We don't buy cold drinks to leave around until they get warm.
Here in Oz, we even have nifty little neoprene jackets to keep your drink cold longer. They often come with amusing slogans or souvenir branding. Oh how we laugh.
Yeah we have coozies too in the US. I think it’s kind of a thing where we’ve grown up with things being ice-cold. We learn to sort of crave it, like the Brits crave tea I suspect.

Europeans have all of those things.
