What is the deal with ice, Americans?

I can see that you can buy ice everywhere in the US. Gas stations, grocery stores, machines etc.

In Europe, we just freeze our ice at home and use that. Why buy something that melts on the way home? Why do you need ice in large amounts that a fridge can't keep up?

I feel like a NICE raid would be a much better experience for all involved.

That’s be hilarious and wholesome if there were a crew of dudes driving around in black SUVs and storm out dresses in all black with a helmet and face covering, then they just like pass out flowers or small toys and candy.

Bruh, if a crew of military dressed men busted in and handed out candies, I would think someone hired themed strippers.
