Ordering soda without ice is a smart consumer move to get 25% more drink

I think that's just being a smart consumer. You get more soda that way. I think it's something with you. I think Europeans don't... you get extra probably 25% of the drink with them and you don't need the waste.

Ice takes up physical space in a cup, so excluding it allows for more liquid. 25% is a reasonable estimate for a standard fast-food ice fill.

Tomato juice only tastes good when you are on a flight.

Tomato juice is so gross to pick and anyone who says 'oh, it's not that bad' they're just lying because they like it with vodka... I've noticed that people only drink tomato juice on flights... Tomato juice tastes better on an airplane.

Scientific studies by Lufthansa and others have confirmed that dry cabin air and low pressure reduce sensitivity to sweet and salty, but leave umami (found in tomatoes) relatively intact, making it taste better by comparison.
