People bitch and moan about straws. But this thought occurred to me recently, why don’t they offer reusable ones instead and just wash it with other tableware?

    Why is “with ice” the default option for drinks in the US? For beverages, the restaurant is saving money, but for water?

      Because its cold and refreshing? Ice water stays cold longer than not ice water.

        Water is best served at a bit below room temperature (maybe 50° F/10° C). I don’t want my teeth hurting and my throat frozen. Also, waiters should be good around and refilling water glasses, not dropping off my food and GTFO until I am done eating.
