The ice cube issue
Posted by Fotis on June 1, 2006
The number of ice cubes you put inside your frappe is another issue at the frappe cult. The writtings of our fathers aren’t clear about this subject. The official position of our cult is three or four cubes. I personally think four is the best, at least at summer. Also it helps at the ritual of stiring the frappe and hearing the glack glack sound. This glack glack sound is a very important aspect of our cult and one of the ultimate pleasures. How many ice cubes do you put in your frappe? Help solve one of the main subjects of all our ecumenical councils!

Yes, this is really a main dilemma!
I think that if we want to find a solution we have to make a distinction in smoker and non-smoker users. Smokers, usually keeps a rate of ~0.5 fph (frappe/hour). So, if you’re a smoker, in order to keep it refreshing*, you have to put 2 ice cubes at the 1st hour and add another one at the 2nd hour. On the other hand, non-smokers keeps a rate of 1-1.5 fph, so 1 or 2 cubes would be ok.
*refers to an average temperature of 32C.

I put one sugar in my coffee because as an original guy from Thessaloniki I am, I am tired of making the big effort to put a second one!!!
Two sugars are for people from Athens who travel 14 hours/day and compete each other
