Unpopular Opinion:

Warm soda is better than soda on ice.


Room temperature drinks in general are better than drinks on ice.

First, ice is overdone in drinks anyway. You go to a restaurant and order a drink, which comes with a glass mostly of ice with some drizzle of syrupy soda. Pay $3.00 + for a glass of sugary water. No thanks.

Second, for those with sensitive teeth, my heart goes out to you. The ice just makes the pop sting and throb against your pearly whites and gums.

Third, ice dilutes a perfectly fine pop. You lose the integrity of the libation. The point was to drink something sweet and satisfying, not sort of flavored, off-color water.

Fourth, your hand won’t get cold holding the can or the bottle. ‘nough said

Fifth, save the ice for real things that need to be cold, like beer or ice cream.
