"Her teeth are gonna fall out" - you know you done goofed when a Brit is concerned about your dental care

[SunnyKim_]

They hand picked the most triggering tea making video they could find 😂😂😂

[geofff.]

The best joke I ever heard about British food was they still eat like they're fighting WW2.

[bupkis]

That one kid “no wonder they hate our food. Look what they’re putting in theirs!”

Fair play

Believe it or not, some of us American tea-drinkers actually own electric (or stovetop) kettles and don't add sugar. :D

[stephenschuetrumpf]

As a representative from the American south: That woman does not speak for us. She didn't use enough tea bags. She didn't make tea, she made leaf water.

As a Chinese student who studied in the UK, I was once with my Chinese friends at a small fish and chips place in the small town we go to school in. They sat down, ordered a tower burger, fish and chips, and calmly told the waiter that they also want some Chinese curry.
I was like.... those two words don't go together mate. When the curry came, it was neither Indian, nor Japanese, and most definitely not Chinese, it was something completely different from anything I've had in my life up till that point.
That was the biggest culture shock I have ever had in my life to this day.

[wpp]

I legit love how these kids can take the criticism and embrace it so hilariously.

[hannahnicole]

i find it funny that they literally tried sweet tea in the biscuits and gravy video and there wasn't a single complaint about it 😭

[brianollivier]

"You absolute melon, " went so hard without trying. He had that one queued up the moment he saw it. Brilliant.

The reactions to iced tea or "sweet tea" remind me of a funny story my grandmother once told about going to the UK in the 1990s. She and my grandfather were driving to Dumfries to see our ancestral castle (we're of Scottish decent), and they stopped to have lunch at a little restaurant. My grandmother had asked for a cup of tea and a glass of ice, which perplexed the waitress. When the waitress brought it over, she watched my grandmother pour the tea into the glass with ice. The waitress shook her head and walked away while muttering "barbarian" under her breath. My grandmother, like the rest of my family prefer both iced tea and hot tea unsweetened, however.

As a long-time diplomat of the Northeastern US: That woman needed more tea bags and used way too much sugar.

[nazfrde]

For what it's worth, sweet iced tea is a SOUTHERN thing, very regional. It's not what Americans all over drink. But there are places where you have to be careful when you order, because "tea" just means "sweet iced tea". EDIT - apparently a lot of people can't read. I did NOT say that "iced tea" was only available in the South. I said that "sweet iced tea" was a Southern thing, as in, going into a restaurant and ordering "tea" and they bring you a glass of iced tea with sugar already in it, as the default.

[TheCAB]

I love how they all freak out about the tea but they LOVED sweet tea when they tried it.

[getin]

MORE BRITISH HIGHSCHOOLERS please, they are the most fun and entertaining. Plus they are so polite and funny. Thank you JOLLY. Josh and Ollie

[JacobHandle]

In the south here in America we have a slap your knees and say “right” thing but it’s just “Well” but really long and drawn out. You could slap your knees, you could just stand up, but most importantly you say “WEEeellL” and you don’t even need to say the rest like “well I need to go because…” you can just say well and the other person is just like “see ya” it works on phone calls too.

[TheRemixstress]

They drank that sweet tea up on the video before when Jolly brought it to them and LOVED it....Now they're acting as if it's something they've never tried and liked. LMAO

[CustomBudd]

A lot of their food reminds me of depression era meals where you grab what you have just to fill you up

[ChildofChrist]

As an American who lives in the south (Kentucky, specifically) and drinks coffee but also loves tea, I can agree that was FAR too much sugar

[djon]

As a southern American that is not how I was taught to make sweet tea, I mean that was just sugar with a hint of tea lmao 🤣
