Most folks, when they need a bag of ice for a party, probably head to their local grocery store. That's fine, but perhaps you're serving your party guests sup-par ice. After all, grocery store ice isn't McDonald's, as Dara Katz, a writer for Pure Wow, discovered. Katz learned that her friend's mother always got her ice from McDonald's whenever she was having a party because it was simply superior to the garbage ice everywhere else.

"The reason I like the ice so much is that the cubes come in small rectangles, causing the ice to break apart easily for serving," the friend's mother, Kathy said. "The cubes seem clearer than your average store-bought ice cube, and I feel like the drink is a little more refreshing with these cubes."

Probably the most notable perk is that the ice isn't a frozen block in a bag, so there's no need to slam the bag on the ground or use your keys as a makeshift ice pick to break it up.
