    Supposedly it makes your drink both very cold and doesn’t melt as fast

    It definitely doesn’t melt as fast because it has less surface area than a bunch of small ice pieces. However, all ice makes a drink equally cold given enough time. The faster the ice melts, the faster your drink gets cold. So if you use a very large cube of ice, your drink will not get as cold as quickly due to the smaller surface area.
