"So maybe a comparison of ice by weight so that both glasses have the same ice by weight. Then you measure how much liquid it takes to fill the glass to the top of the ice."

No way, I've been to bars that use this stuff they give it a light pack to the top.
And in the test it needs to be a light pack to the top on both ices.

This nugget ice is porous it I think is kind of scraped off the inside of a frozen tube and then
churned down that tube to the ice bin.

BUT the cubed ice is run over a metal plate that is cold and the ice forms in a cubed plate
of sorts, when done filling the plate it heats the plate and the ice plate drops and breaks up
making your ice cubes.

I have had and worked on a few ice machines in my day.
plus you need to clean them once a year at least.
If you saw the inside of the ice machine at the bar you drink at you would not go back, it's
called cold mold.

I think we may need the Myth Busters on this one.
They would do the test and then blow up both machines, Awesome.
