[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us you've never been outside the US and grew up poor OP without having to tell us. I have never had coffee in my life and love tea.

More people in the world prefer tea to coffee. After water, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world:

“Poor”?!  As the saying goes : what does growing up poor have to do with the price of tea in China?  Given the prevalence of tea drinkers — which you, yourself, have pointed out PP, it should be clear that people at all economic levels drink tea, although admittedly they might not be drinking the same types of tea.

Nooo PP is saying that OP grew up US poor. Which means drinking coke and chocolate milk and NOT drinking hot tea. I guess. [/quote]

Yes, that was my assumption as well. Where we differ though, is in our assumptions about dietary choices as they correlate with income. Hot tea and iced tea — (not from a mix) are a lot cheaper per serving than “coke and chocolate milk” — and taste better too, at least to some of us.

Oh, and “the price of tea in China” really is an old saying, and wasn’t meant to be taken literally. [/quote]
