If you're in the market for the best ice maker this summer, there's one phrase you'll start hearing everywhere: nugget ice. These pebble-sized ice chunks are redefining the way we enjoy homemade drinks – and ice nuggets have become a full-blown social media obsession.
'This crunchy, chewable ice is especially popular on TikTok right now, winning fans over with its satisfying texture,' says Anna Herring, Homes & Gardens' Instagram and Pinterest trend expert. 'It also adds an aesthetic boost to everyday drinks, making even a simple soda feel like a treat.'
