Why does my fridges ice stick together and fast food ice doesn ?
You are correct in your assumption that your ice is colder than McDonald’s Ice. Their ice does not get the chance to sit in the freezer for hours before being used, it get used as soon as it is frozen. Therefore, their ice is not cold enough to freeze some of the liquid in your drink which causes the pieces to bind together. Turning down your freezer would not help, however, using ice as soon as it is ready would. Not sure how you could make sure you get “fresh” ice every time, except to turn ice maker off, and then turn it on a little before you are ready for ice, which is probably a hassle you aren’t looking for.
