What Brocha are Crispix? I saw two opinions (Mezonos/ Haadama or just Shehakol).
Funny you should be asking the question now, I was just asked this question on shabbos and was told that you make a shehakal on them, and no food requires 2 brachos (yes there are exceptions) but in general only 1 bracha should be made especially here where the crispix is one chevtza not two separate entities , and now the crispix for ex has sugar inside both of them which is one bracha which is amongst both, so according to rav belsky A"H he said bih'pherush that only a shahakel should be made.. was news to me bec I was always following my cereal chart for brachos.

I once had an idea about crispix: why not take a small handful, break them all in half, discard all the rice halves and place all the corn halves back in the bowl. Now you know have a majority of corn.

Darker side is rice and lighter side is corn. There are differing opinions on what bracha you make on rice.
why would the rice not be mezonos? The corn side is a shailoh if it's haadamah or shehakol (same shailoh for corn Chex). When I learned the sugya it was pretty clear that it's shehakol

Is there a problem to take the ice which is given on a plane? 
 Always thought there's a problem so always asked for the can or filled the cup without ice.

Utensils they use to prepare the ice and the bucket of ice and they clean them together I'm sure with non kosher in the same treif sink..
 Same reason when I go to costco when I see free samples of food and they take a knife and cut the products in half and use a metal spoon to scoop out the product from a bag..

and those that only drink filtered water, assuming they would avoid ice.
 That's not my problem in this case.

Even if they did it is only being used cold and without any duchka

They don't use utensils to prepare ice. The ice goes from an ice machine to a bag/box. The scooper is always used cold. Pretty sure everyone uses ice buckets in hotels.

I personally don't drink coffee, but I personally would not drink from starbucks nor any non kosher store who prepares there coffee together with the rest of treif store, they use the same hands filled with the kentucky fried chicken or in starbucks when the just finished cutting in half the cheese burger which they warmed up in the microwave/oven/toaster and then go fill your cups of coffee up and use the rag to clean the machines with there oily hands touching everything, and they use the same dishwasher for the basic metal utensils which they use to make the coffee, and together cleaning all the plates which served the food and non kosher cake /meat /cheeses...

 To me I see it all treif, and don't see why there's a heter to drink from these stores, the funny part is I have never seen any rav nor and hashgacha given or allowed such coffees from such stores..
 Or maybe there is and I never saw it, I mean a normal hashgacha not some rabbi out in the boon docks.
 Unlike glass which is totally different which im sure lots hold its ok to use whether a bar or on a date...

That's only Starbucks because of their unique washing process. Same would not apply to McDonald's, etc.
