Quench your thirst!

Semi-related to this thread, when I worked at a restaurant, long ago, I always found it really weird that Europeans always requested "no ice" in all their drinks, and Americans basically always wanted it and thought it was kind of a stupid question.

Yeah, many of my friends often say 'No ice'. I personally don't understand it, because it's the ice that just MAKES the drink in my eyes. I love ice in my drinks.

I take a little bit of ice, but not much. Reason being if your cup is full of ice, there's less room for what you're trying to drink!

There's a reason A&W doesn't put ice in the root beer.

Vanilla Coke for life.

Because they chill their glasses, so ice is superfluous?

Because it waters down the root beer, which is why they chill the glasses. You won't get ice in their paper cups either.

They have paper cups? That makes me sad.

Well, I'm not sure what else to call them. The same cups you get at any fast food restaurant are the ones they give you when you hit the drive through. Pretty sure they're made of some variety of paper.

Oh, I knew what you meant, there was nothing unclear about it.

But it doesn't mean I can't be sad about it. If I ran a famed Root Beer franchise, the only options I'd have available would be glass mugs (for 'dining in') and glass bottles (for 'dining out'). I guess that's one of many reasons I don't run a Root Beer franchise.

PAPER CUPS MAKE EVERYTHING TASTE WORSE. So do plastic bottles, although I still tolerate juice in them.

Grape drank. I will look at the water, orange juice, and grape juice in the fridge and despite my best judgement, I'll go "no I want the grape drank".

Water, beer, cider.

Seltzer, and only seltzer.

Snapple. Either Apple or Peach Tea flavor.

BRAWNDO! IT'S GOT WHAT CANADIANS CRAVE!
