Good Ice! - Revisited

I first published this post in January of 2006 and it is still a big topic of conversations today. I thought I would revisit it along with the original comments...
What's your poison? Cubed, crushed, pellet, shaved, flake or nuggets? When it comes to ice in your drink there a multitude of options available. Almost every restaurant serves a different variety of ice. Did you know that there are folks like me that would drive a mile out of their way to get a drink with "good" ice?
I would like to state my favorite locations in Enid to get "good" ice. My favorite ice is what I call pellet ice. It's small cylinder looking ice pieces and is great for crunching. I currently get my ice every morning from the Holdings on the corner of Garriott and Hoover. I must warn you that not all of the Holdings have this ice, so beware!
The Sonics located on Garriott also have this style of "good" ice and are great if you just want to drive through for an ice run. Beware, the Sonics on Van Buren have a slightly different version of this ice. Golden Chick also has "good" pellet ice.
I hope I've helped out in some bizarre way. Let us know where you get your favorite "good" ice.

I'm addicted to the ice at Katy's Pantry.
Hi Sweetness,
Yep, Katy's ice is awesome also. My family eats there at least three times a week and I was originally drawn there by their ice!
I concur with Katy's Pantry and have some more to add to the list because I am a crushed ice fiend.

Taco Mayo
Taco Bandito
Short Stop on 30th
Lotta Burger
Daylight Donuts on Randolph
I didn't know there were other "good ice" people in existence!! From a historical perspective, my vote for the best ice ever was 'Taco Tico' on S. Van Buren- true SHAVED ice- one step above pellet ice...
The "old timers" in Enid may remember the Dairy Maid on E Maine across the street from Printing Impressions, during the 50s and 60s. They had "The premier best ice in the world!!" It was thin, thin, small slices of ice that made the best drinks in the world. That was THE place for a coke. We would cruise from there back and forth to Van's (where Walgreens is now) ALL evening on Fridays and Saturdays on 50 cents worth of gas!!!
I have to admit that Taco Tico shaved ice was the tops. Does anyone in town have shaved ice now?
Oh my gosh! I can't wait to tell my husband that there are other people in the world who will drive out of their way for good ice! He thinks I'm the only person! I live in Pond Creek and the Peppermint Pad cafe here has great ice.
Taco Tico...... Man do I miss that place. It was a staple for lunches in high school.
