My favourite tea story is the time my English friend came to visit me when I lived in Kentucky. It was late when his flight got in, so we hit up the 24-hour diner, where he wearily ordered tea with his meal.

When the waitress came back with a tall glass of iced [sweet] tea, he looked at it like she'd just set a dead cat down on the table. It probably didn't help that I burst out laughing when it dawned on me what went wrong.

He still thinks I allowed this to happen on purpose.

	lol, poor guy. That must have been a shock. I remember my trip to Australia, I was so excited to discover that ordering tea meant that I automatically got hot tea instead of being asked 'hot or iced?'. (Reply to this)(Parent)

The first time I ordered lemonade in the US, I was distinctly non-plussed to get this glass of lemon cordial stuff, instead of the Sprite/7Up/Sierra Mist I expected.

My friends were, of course, highly amused.

Although not as amused as when I automatically took out my wallet with Australian money in it and offered to help pay.

"You can't pay with that! That's Monopoly money!"
