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. With more sugar surface in contact with the liquid, it dissolves faster. Placing the drink in the refrigerator or leaving it unstirred would generally slow dissolving, and adding another large piece would not help.
