Why is crushed ice better than cubed?

Compared with cubed ice, crushed ice was more effective in lowering surface temperature during treatment but was less effective in maintaining the lower temperature during recovery.

Is nugget ice good for coolers?

Nugget Ice is Chewable Nugget ice is the top choice for coolers in most restaurants because it is soft, lightweight, and chewable. It produces a cold and refreshing effect.

Does nugget ice melt faster?
