Reply to comment by KRA2008 in Would a cup of shaved ice cool down a big bowl of soup more than a single full ice cube the same weight? by uuuuhmmmm

I use those big cubes and like them precisely because they have less surface area than a handful of ice the same size and won't cool it as fast. You want the whiskey cooled, but not ice cold. You can always speed up the cooling if you want by swirling and increasing the convection rate.

Well that’s fine, that’s a preference thing, but it’s just false advertising to claim it works like conventional ice in every way but better.
