why are people even questioning obesity in america

why is your tea liquidised?

….. Where exactly do you live that the tea isn’t liquid?!?

ENGLAND. WHERE IT IS IN A BAG AND YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF.

like what do you do with already liquid tea? Microwave it?

No it’s sweet tea you drink it cold

WHO DRINKS COLD TEA???

HAVE YOU NEVER HAD ICED/SWEET TEA BEFORE?!?

so i reblogged this from a british person and i’ve been laughing at their tags for 600 years

England, you stole tea from China.  You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+.  Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.

[skeletons ooh-ing]

Shots fired. World War Tea has officially begun.

#INTO THE HARBOR

Englad doesn’t own anything

except that time we owned most of the world

If I stop reblogging this, I’ve gone to the other side.

I have only seen this legendary post in screenshots, so today is a blessed day.

HAH

BOSTON TEA PARTY PART 2

HOLY HELL I FOUND IT

And this is why I love Tumblr

Drinking cold tea is like drinking cold hot chocolate. Sure, you *can* do it, but you *really shouldn’t*

Behold concerned Brit. Chocolate Milk

OMFG

@riverwriter

BEHOLD THE GREATEST TUMBLR POST

“world war tea” is the best play on words i’ve heard in weeks

this post is a wild ride from start to finish

I haven’t seen this since chocolate milk was added. Is that really just an American thing? You’re missing out guys!

Cold tea

Cold hot chocolate aka chocolate milk

Cold coffee

I mean, do yall even know about cold water or is that an American thing too???

YOU GUYS DRINK COFFEE COLD AS WELL???

Does the rest of the world not use ice cubes? Do y'all not have freezers? What is going on?

Just thought I’d put my 2 cents in this post, it’s iced tea and not sweet tea. Idk what Americans r smoking 💀

I’m relatively new to Tumblr but it seems like sort of a big deal that I found this post so I’m gonna reblog

Imagine not liking iced tea- actually im gonna go drink some now

I don’t even know what to say…

i drink iced tea every day >:)

Iced tea is brilliant but hot tea is nice too

@dazzling-rubabe

Behold concerned Brit

World War Tea Situation

This post is a relic

Me seeing this for the 14th time in my 5 years on tumblr and seeing more notes and comments but still reblogging it since it’s literally a World Heritage Post

@dazzling-rubabe please go back to the McD’s ad.

Read the jug.

NOW LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME WHAT KIND OF TEA IT IS.

(The following may not apply outside the Southeastern United States, aka “The South”.)

“Sweet tea” is specifically Orange Pekoe* tea with a minimum of “enough sugar to give a British person apoplexy”. Sometimes the Orange Pekoe is mixed with other black teas and/or an additional flavor such as Peach or Raspberry. Some lemon is allowed, but if you add too much it becomes Lemonade Tea**. “Sweet tea” is usually iced, but sometimes just chilled, and can be bought in cans or jugs***.

* known in (at least) The South as “tea.” If you asked most drinkers if they liked “Orange Pekoe Tea”, they would not know what was meant, and many might go so far as to ask “Is that like Lipton or Luzianne?” Just… say “yes” and move on.

** Not to be confused with the “Arnold Palmer”, which is three parts unsweet tea and one part actual lemonade. In the case of an Arnold Palmer, the Lemonade sweetens the tea. I would say that the Arnold Palmer is a perfectly respectable beverage, but not “sweet tea”, but I was raised in Alabama.

*** You can also buy cans or jugs of “Iced Tea”, but that’s marketing departments for you.

Note that “Iced Tea” and “Sweet Tea” are overlapping categories, but “Unsweet Tea” is absolutely a thing, and is almost always iced. Although there are, in fact, people who drink “unsweet tea” as ordered, it is very often an excuse for the drinker to take care of the sweetening themselves because they don’t know who decided how sweet the tea would be***. (Alternately, they want to use artificial sweeteners.) Some restaurants avoid this problem altogether by just serving “Unsweet Tea” and having a shaker of sugar the size of a 20-ounce beer can on the table. Meals served in these restaurants usually subtract from your total lifespan, but are also usually worth it.

Also, while it’s easy and entertaining for us to mock the Brits on their tea choices, it’s worth noting that when it gets into the high 70s there, it’s considered a heat wave and people die, whereas that’s a moderate summer day in Virginia. I suspect if I lived in a place where a 75F day in August was considered unusual, I might drink my tea hot more often.

Iced tea is for when it’s 110 in the shade, and there ain’t no shade. And, for many Texans, there is no thing as “a little” sugar – you load in the sugar until there is a sludge of sugar at the bottom of the glass that won’t dissolve no matter how much you stir it. A super-saturated tea/sugar solution.

(I don’t drink tea myself, I have a weird reaction to it, an allergy to some ingredient I think.)

Yeah, to clarify for the Brits, here’s the weather where I am RIGHT NOW, and I put it in Celsius for you:

You can see why we prefer our drinks cold in summer.

Also, I should emphasize you don’t make hot tea and iced tea the same way. You’re probably thinking of the nasty bitter “I forgot my bag was brewing,” and it isn’t like that. What you do is you boil about 1L of water with teabags to taste (I use eight), fill a pitcher to the brim with ice, and when your boiling tea is super nice and dark and a bit murky you pour it IMMEDIATELY over the ice. The tannins that create that bitter flavor have no time to develop.

First time I’ve seen this. I am an English Brit. I drink my tea hot, made with boiling water, cold milk, no sugar .I prefer using a black leaf tea from India. For a special treat I mix black tea leaves with Earl Grey leaf tea. Mixing black tea with Earl Grey means you can have the bergamot flavouring but still drink it with milk.

I had previously seen the bottom image with zero context like 5 times before finally finding the context post and that’s why I love tumblr.

Everyone wants me crayonally

Share this, please. Do not be fooled by ICE’s administrative warrants. They are NOT a legal basis for a search or to enter your home or business. For that, ICE must present a JUDICIAL WARRANT.

The difference is shown below. Study it.

Also remember if you see a judicial warrant to check the date is correct, the name is correct and b address is correct. If any of those is a mismatch it is not valid

Okay, this is actually funny

forgot to post it here

pancakes are made of eggs omfg

Y’all are crazy if you think a chicken won’t happily eat eggs. Y’all insane if you think a chicken won’t tear some nuggets UP. You are ON CRACK if you think a chicken won’t just, eat another injured chicken

Me and some friends were collecting eggs on this farm. We dropped one of them and they went absolutely apeshit over that damn egg. Not even the shell was left.

I know people think chickens are herbivores but they absolutely aren’t.

Chickens are omnivores. They eat meat, they eat eat all sorts of fruits and vegetables.

This isn’t really well known to people who live off of farms or who have never spent time on one. It’s also thanks to tv and movies not showing this side of chickens.

It’s why eggs and chicken meat saying they come from “free-range vegetarian chickens” are HILARIOUS, because if they’re free-range, you can’t control that, and the tiny dinosaurs ARE going to eat a lot of things. And if a mouse meets an early demise because it came near the tiny dinosaurs … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a kid I once threw the neighbor’s chickens a chicken nugget just to see what would happen.

Answer; they fuckin demolished it. Tore it apart and wolfed it down in seconds. 

Rose tinted chicken glasses used to be a very common invention for chickens, because if they saw a speck of blood on another chicken they would gang up on it and murder it to death and feast on it.

Actual piranhas don’t act like Hollywood piranhas.

Chickens, however, do act like Hollywood piranhas. Those fuckers get a taste for blood and they become fucking ravenous fiends. They’re still very much dinosaur.

Pancakes are looking a little tame, huh?

You’re not allowed to let your chickens eat eggs purely because if they discover that they can, you will never get another egg from them again. They WILL eat them before you can collect them.

Yeah I was going to mention this. Once they get the taste, they’ll eat their own eggs and the eggs of other hens if they can. At that point, you gotta cull them.

Bad and naughty oophagus chicken get put in the pot:

People thought birds were herbivores??

WTF DO MOST BIRDS EAT? Insects, grubs, worms! THAT IS NOT A PLANT-BASED DIET. They will eat just about anything. Grain, seeds, bugs, mealworms, crickets, fruit, down the hatch.

TBH many animals that ARE herbivores will eat animal material if given the opportunity. Gorillas eat almost nothing but plants but they will catch a mouse and eat it if one happens by within their reach.

why haven’t I seen anyone posting about that giant fucking baby penguin in Melbourne that’s bigger than some of the adults already

his name is Pesto <3

this bastard weighs 46 lbs at 9 months old. he’s 22 lbs heavier than his PARENTS

OMG I SAW THIS LAD IN PERSON AND LOST EVERY OUNCE OF SHIT I’VE EVER POSSESSED

Look at him!

Also he was separated with one of his parents when I saw him but obviously wanted to Be Where The People Penguins Are so they’d set him up with a little rock stool so he could gaze upon his brethren:

Which enabled me to capture the single funniest video I’ve ever taken of anything in my life:

All hail Pesto! The king of chonk!

He's adventurous, cheeky, sings to the caretakers who clean his enclosure and has been seen CANOODLING with a penguin named Pudding.

And fucking handsome too—look at him striking a pose with his new look!

And fucking handsome

too—look at him striking a

pose with his new look!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Y'all omg, look at him in his awkward teen phase

Behind the scenes of Godzilla (1998)

man why didn’t they just have this guy fight him off. dude’s huge

i wouldn't fight godzilla if i was this dude's size, for roughly the same reason i wouldn't fight a komodo dragon at the size i currently am

Not even to save New York?

what has new york ever done for me

distantly

Oh! The intimacy of adopting each other’s vocabulary.

please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever

"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

so i'm in this backyard chickens group on reddit and someone just discovered their hen is transitioning and everyone is stoked

anyway in case you didn't know chickens will sometimes spontaneously f2m and it's pretty cool

these absolutely cannot stay in the tags

This is extremely common among chickens because a) like most birds, they only have one functioning ovary and b) their ovary does a LOT of hormonal heavy lifting in the sex department. So they're one ovary malfunction away from their body going "guess we're doin' rooster now" and growing different feathers and having them start crowing.
