I went to dunkin’ the other day and asked for an iced latte with less ice because it’s winter and I wanted less ice. They gave me a cup that was halfway full of coffee. So I asked why and they told me they press a button on a machine, it fills it halfway full with coffee and then they add ice. So when you get a medium iced latte, you’re not actually getting a medium latte, you’re getting a small or a kids size nowadays of coffee, and then they just fill the rest of it with ice. If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…

I have never heard of this in any other country. What the hell?

    Okay so I’m going to answer this with soda. So when people order soda no ice, they think they’re being smart and getting more soda. Well, define soda.

    You see, most of those drinks are specifically designed with the ice in mind. All drinks are some sort of mixture with water, and they take ice into account, they expect the ice to melt and become part of the drink. With soda, they made the drink with the ice melting in mind.

    So when you order a soda no ice, you’re not getting more soda necessarily, justa. More concentrated sugary syrupy drink that isn’t properly mixed.

        also is a really dumb logic anyways, the ice don’t melt until later while you most likely is going to start drinking immediately, and I don’t find it enjoyable to have the first 25% of my drink taste different than my last 25% of the drink.

      I don’t think this is true. The soda machine is probably programmed to deliver just enough soda so that it doesn’t overflow the cup. Now, if you order it without ice it’ll deliver the exact same amount of soda but the cup wont be as full due to lack of ice.
