When I saw this story I knew I had to write an article on it.  My wife and I were discussing this the other night at home, and I know we can't be the only ones. She landed on Sonic ice being her favorite and had to agree.

TheDailyMeal.com recently ranked 11 fast food places on the best ice cubes:

11. Taco Bell

10. McDonald's

9. Burger King

8. Dunkin Donuts

7. Jimmy Johns

6. Starbucks

5. Pizza Hut

4. Dairy Queen

3. Zaxby's

2. Chic-fil-A

1. Sonic

With "perfect" ice, Sonic lands at number one. Their ice aren't cubes; rather, they're "nuggets" that can be crunched but are resilient enough to resist melting too rapidly.
