Amazon Has a Ton of Nugget Ice Makers on Sale That Will Arrive Before New Year’s Eve

THERE IS just something indescribable about chewing on nugget ice in comparison to a traditional hard cube. These spherical cubes are easier to chew on because they’re made with compacted ice flakes, helping to retain the original flavor of your favorite beverages. The ice melts more evenly, too, so it won’t water down your drink as fast. (Okay, maybe it can be described.) Thanks to the obsession with Sonic/pellet/nugget ice, there are more countertop ice makers on the market than ever before—and Amazon has tons of deals on them.
