This is interesting and doesn't surprise me in the least.

I for one, very rarely do I get ice in any drinks. Ice is to keep the drink cooler longer, well... I like to drink my drink now, not later. Besides even if a drink is at room temperature, I will still drink it. I have on occasion downed a warm bottle of water that has been left in a car during the heat of the day. Now, if I am working outside in the heat of the day, I might go for a cold drink but as for the ice? I will skip it all the same.

Of course everyone is different, this is just my view on the "ice" from fast food places.

As for the E-Coli bacteria? I have more problems after eating the food then drinking the soda. I like the food (don't get me wrong), quick and easy but sometimes I pay the price.

When I want to have some drinking stuff with me, I put a bottle in the freezer, let it freeze ( not filled up ) and then I have something cool to drink the whole day.Den 06/05/2008 kl. 22.08 skrev Kenneth:This is interesting and doesn't surprise me in the least.I for one, very rarely do I get ice in any drinks.
