annewandering Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I do not understand why I crave Ice in my drinks even in winter. Woke up and no ice in freezer. arggggggg Quote
beefche Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I LOVE ice in my drinks. And I'm doubly weird because I have to have my drinks cold before putting them on ice. If they are room temperature, then the ice melts faster and the fizz leaves the drink faster. We always make sure we have a big bag of ice in the freezer at all times. Once a bag of ice is opened, we make sure to buy another bag at the next grocery shop. Quote
sister_in_faith Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 You are just going to have to face facts anne... you are a little different than everyone else. this is just proof positive. Just kiddin girl, I love ya. Heck, I don't think I have ROOM in my freezer for ice! Quote
Bini Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I'm a really big fan of ice water. But I have this weird thing where I drink my sodas at room temperature, when I drink them, which is rare. Quote

Just kiddin girl, I love ya.Heck, I don't think I have ROOM in my freezer for ice!how can you live without ice? We visited one of my daughters in texas last summer. they had a new house and a wonderful fridge. sighs. I just loved the ice and water dispenser. It had so many choices! I am thinking we need to go back and visit them again for a summer! Quote
Backroads Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I'm not an ice person. Chilled drinks are fine, but ice is only if chilled drinks aren't available. Quote
annewandering Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 I actually like the ice to dilute the drinks. Most are too strong. Probably comes from my poor childhood. We had cows so milk was free. Sometimes they got into the wild onions so the milk was pretty strong lol. My mom bought chocolate powder and used a teaspoon in each large glass of milk. It was just enough to cut the onion flavor. Since then drinks just taste better with just a bit of flavoring. Quote
Guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 How's your iron? Do you like to chew the ice? That craving can be a sign of anemia.v Of course, Sonic ice is practically a food group to me, and me iron is fine as far as I know. Quote
annewandering Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Posted November 6, 2011 I dont like to chew on ice. If its really hot I dont mind holding a piece of ice on my tongue for a minute but more likely to sit on my palm to cool the blood down. Can my body think I am anemic without being? Like starving when full because of losing weight? Am I explaining this in an understandable way? I wonder only because I nearly died of anemia a few years ago from chronic bleeding. Cause was fixed and dont have that problem now. Quote
Guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Oh that's a good question! I wish I knew. I just know I come from a long line of ice chewers (we know where all the places in town with good ice are) and people always accuse us of having anemia! Quote
Mahone Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I don't usually have ice in my drinks. But then, it's not often hot enough here to merit it. My fiancee on the other hand... I don't think she'll have soda without it Quote
pam Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Perhaps they took all of your ice to use on the elderly.http://www.lds.net/forums/general-discussion/43368-putting-elderly-ice.html Quote

rameumptom Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 you may want to check out your iron level. Many women and vegetarians have a hunger for ice when they are iron deficient. Quote

Not thinking ice has much iron in it. Quote
pam Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I will ask my dr next time I see him. So why do you think that particular pica is to ice? Not thinking ice has much iron in it. Some that are anemic have tongue pain and the ice helps relieve it.I had this when I was pregnant yet my iron levels were normal. Not sure why I wanted ice so much during my pregnancy. Quote

While my tongue does not hurt it is very sensitive. Quote
Guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I have that, too! I wonder if there's something to it. I should see if my parents or siblings do. We all love our ice. A lot. Quote

I don't think she'll have soda without it There is a certain perspective gap here, iced drinks aren't only to cool down. I'll enjoy a nice cold (iced) drink in them middle of December. I simply enjoy my water (and other non-hot drinks) ice cold, if come in from shoveling the snow and I'm thirsty I have a nice cold water (either out of the fridge, I have a pitcher, or with ice, sometimes both). Water, Soda, Milk, they need to be frigid for maximum enjoyment, and the first two preferably with ice, even if I don't need to cool down, and honestly even if I'm on the cold side. Yes, I have sat there bundled up in a sweater, sweats, and blanket watching TV and drinking an iced beverage. Quote

Oh man and if it has slush in it then its heavenly! Quote
classylady Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I've put ice in my milk before. I don't do it on a regular basis, but if my milk isn't cold, I just don't care for it as much. Quote
HEthePrimate Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I like ice water, but prefer not to put ice in other drinks--don't want them getting watered down. Although, ice can be nice to munch on, once the drink is finished. More so in summer time, though! Quote
