You and I might as well be worst enemies, then. You can never have enough garlic in the dish, and I let the ice melt because I want more fluids, and chewing on ice is unsatisfying and annoying.

FWIW I mostly do this with tea and juice. Never with carbonated beverages. I prefer them straight out of the fountain/fridge with no ice at all, cause melted ice in soda ruins the taste.
