Personally I prefer the harder ones, especially the kinds out of industrial-size ice machines. My favorites are the squares that aren't more than half an inch thick. I also really like the ones that are sort of shaped like thimbles, with one end closed, so you can suck the ice on to the tip of your tongue. Out of all the fast-food ice, I prefer the ice from McDonalds: it is square with sort of a dome-shaped dimension to it, so it's not a perfect 3-D square. I hate ice from the home icemaker--it always tastes funny to me. Yuck.
Yes, I chew a lot of ice.
