About IceChomp
A community map for people who care what kind of ice is in the cup.
Nugget ice goes by a lot of names: pellet ice, pebble ice, Sonic-style ice, chewable ice, and simply the good ice. IceChomp exists because menus rarely tell you what kind of ice a place serves.
The app turns local knowledge into a shared map. When someone finds the good ice at a restaurant, gas station, cafe, hotel, hospital, office, or vending machine, they can tag it for everyone else.
