Did Sonic invent pearl ice?
No, but they sure did popularize it.
Nowadays, people are much more likely to know pearl ice as “Sonic ice”. Ask yourself, do you associate Sonic more with their burgers or their ice? Our guess is their fantastic ice. After all, Sonic advertises tens of thousands of drink combinations, all chilled and enjoyed with the pearl ice we crave.
Why was pearl ice created?
The answer is simple: hospitals needed softer ice for patients. Traditional cube ice was too hard. Patients needed water, and traditional cubed ice made it difficult for some patients to drink from a cup and swallow. Instead, patients relied on pearl ice to stay hydrated. In fact, it’s still the most popular ice in both the hospital and hospitality industries for the same exact reason.
The nice ice any time of the year
Pearl ice is a popular treat and option for multiple industries and many households throughout the whole year—not just when it’s hot here in the MidSouth. Spring, summer, winter, fall…pearl ice makes a bubbly beverage for all.
Hospitals need it. Offices crave it. And kids love it. This is the perfect solution to keep your drinks cold and fun at the same time. All you need is the ice machine to make it happen!
