Is there some hidden pronounciation rule I’m not aware of? And why do we say F.B.I and not FBI or U.S.B and not USB ?

I know it seems a really silly question seeing the actual situation with the ICE eveywhere on the news… But this really bothers me on why people yell ICE when it’s actually the I.C.E :/.

    Okay I get that ! But in the case of the ICE both are actually acceptable.

    I.C.E sounds good so those ICE. I guess in this context as some else said, it’s because they are “ice cold” (in this context).

    Would it be acceptable in a conversation to talk about the I.C.E ?
