    Canada to Canadians:

    Canada to the rest of the world:

    Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.

      We like it as tea flavored simple syrup actually. Idk about Canadians though, probably the same right? They’re basically Minnesotans with funny accents

        I should add when I went to Europe all the cafes kept explaining that I wouldn’t like their tea or just adding sugar because I sounded American to them.

        It was weirdly insulting. Like the kind of thing that’s not really an insult, but feels like one.

        I know a fair number of Minnesotans who say they’re Canadian when traveling to Europe. The accent and culture is similar enough and generally people have more positive stereotypes about Canadians, lol.

        The tea thing is weird though. I’m originally from Florida, where iced tea is sweet tea, I was dismayed the first time I ordered iced tea in Minnesota and it was unsweet, and the barista pointed me at sugar packets- no, the sugar won’t dissolve properly in cold tea!

          Every time I go south I wonder how people down there are still alive. Between the sweet tea, biscuits and gravy, pork cracklings, boudin, and kolaches, I feel like I have to take a nap whenever I eat a meal.

          Yeah I’m actually a northerner and you don’t think there’s too much of a difference between Ohio and Kentucky culturally until you order iced tea. I like it unsweetened, but even the sweet tea up here is less sweet.
