I'm the only one here that regularly uses ice... filling one tray is
no biggie.

My guess is that people that live in the tropics consume a lot of ice.

That could be. The only time I ever buy ice is when we are having a party
or when it's hot. Doesn't get hot a lot here. When we lived in PA, MA and
NY we did go through a lot of ice. Never had an ice maker though.

The ice maker is the greatest invention since refrigeration and
refrigeration is a pretty great invention. As long as I've got an ice
maker at home and an AC in the car, I'm happy.
