Fred has a large piece of sugar that is not dissolving in his drink. How could he get the sugar chunk to dissolve faster?

Breaking the sugar chunk into smaller pieces exposes more of its surface to the drink. More contact with the liquid lets the sugar dissolve faster. Putting the drink in the refrigerator would generally slow dissolving, and adding more sugar or leaving it undisturbed would not help it dissolve faster.
