Frankly, I didn't even know this was such a big problem for some people, but now that I do, it just gives me the shivers when I think of all those teeth gnashing all those tiny ice cubes...
Once I upped my iron supplements, I lost the urge, and that was 20 years ago. But during my apparent anemic/ice frenzy I chewed a lot of the little chips!

at my age, that might not be so bad...
::hotflash::
first time they'd see an actual chair melt before their very eyes!
nanc: lol! One way or the other,
you'd be a real danger to this ice bar ;-)
Nice ice cube, Cube!!
"cubanity"
I love it!
I confess, I chew ice. But, I prefer the little nugget shaped pieces of ice you get in some restaurants, and not the cubes. Is that OK?

d.m.: Alas, it is but a photo I borrowed from the blogosphere. Sadly, my home pics are far from extraordinary.
rgmb: Hello! Glad to hear from you again. Yes, there does seem to be a connection between a low Fe+ level & compulsive ice chomping. Go figure.
jen: Thanks. I can't help making these silly puns & sometimes it's nice to know someone appreciates them.
As far as chewing the little ice nuggets, well, my little nugget-shaped friends are upset about it, but I'm OK with it ;-)
I used to chew ice cubes when I was a teen, but I got over it. ;)
Cubanity! Ha, ha - nice play on words!!
My SIL can't stand to hear anyone crunch ice.
It drives her bananas!
I used to too, now I have crowns from the microfractures I gave myself...oooops.
I've heard of the Fe connection, wonder why it triggers chomping?

brooke: Good for your teeth.
j.d.: Glad you liked it.
tmw: That's a good question. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for it.
