Unsweet tea > sweet tea

Come at me! 😆

zwink1 · January 2022

I agree with you @sunshineandlemons. I'm not much of a sweet drink person though. I much prefer lighter or more herbal flavors.

My somewhat related UO is that I will take all of the candy, chocolate, ice cream, sorbet type stuff but I can 100% leave most of the baked sweets.

LJMoon6 · January 2022

@sunshineandlemons You know… it really depends on my mood. I either hate unsweet tea and love sweet tea or it’s the other way around. It changes day to day lol.

@zwink1 Omg. Baked sweets/pastries are my absolute favorite sweet food (along with chocolate)! I could leave most candy and ice cream.

@sunshineandlemons I'm 100% with you! Unsweet tea is way better. Though, I do love a good peach iced tea.
@zwink1 I'm split on that one. I will choose ice cream every day but I loveeeee pastries like donuts.

My UO is that I am indifferent to Harry Potter. I understand the hype when everything first came out but I wouldn't choose to watch the movies and I only ready the first book.

@sunshineandlemons that would personally offend any southern person lol, I can’t take overly sweet tea but I can’t take completely unsweetened.

My UO is similar in I can not stand hot tea in any form.

tuxielove93 · January 2022

We’re gonna do drinks? Cause I’m really unpopular.

I don’t like soda/soft drinks. I don’t like cold tea period. I don’t like coffee or any coffee variation. I don’t drink milk, even alternative milks. I hate flavored water. And I don’t drink alcohol.

None of the above are a health choice. I literally don’t like the taste. I was the weirdo twelve year old begging for water at the birthday party because all they had was soda.

Okay I'm only saying this one because my cousin just had her baby a week ago but UO... wtf with push presents?? Her husband gave her a garnet ring (january birthstone) and I'm just like, if you're going to gift me a push present make it a massage or something pampering!!

I'm also pretty minimal with the jewelry I wear so eventually if I was gifted a bracelet, necklace, or ring as a push present I probably wouldn't wear it much after a while. It's exactly what happened with the bangle bracelet DH got me as a wedding gift.

zinnia19 · January 2022

@inthewoods23 umm what the heck is a push present? Like, "good job giving birth, here's a gift!" How about the gift of caring for a newborn and supporting your partner postpartum?!

I am also not a jewelry person. My UO is related to that. When I got engaged I didn't want a ring (or a classic proposal). Those traditions just felt one-sided and didnt feel right for me. Luckily my husband was on the same page. But everyone thought it was odd and would always look at my hand, searching for a ring. And be like "how did he propose?" And I'd be like, "umm, we just talked about it!". When my brother in law got engaged he gave his partner a ring and she gave him a sword. Now thats egalitarian!

I love hot tea- grew up drinking it with my grandmother (I grew up in the mid-Atlantic), but that concept horrifies everyone down here in the south. They all ask if I’m into herbal teas or something. Lol

My UO is that I dislike most chocolate bars. If it’s not Reece’s or dark chocolate covered coconut eggs, I’m out. And those both have to be accompanied by a glass of milk or it’s a no-go.

sunshineandlemons · January 2022

Loving all the different opinions on tea! I can drink sweet things but I grew up on plain hot or iced tea and to me, adding sugar totally changes the flavor!

@twentythree19 I’m picky about chocolate too. I pretty much eat plain Hershey’s milk chocolate (or Reese’s, but I really only like the holiday ones where the PB to chocolate ratio is higher for PB). My husband used to buy me chocolates for Valentine’s Day and I just would never eat them. Too many crazy flavors for me and I just didn’t like the chocolate. But, no milk here!

inthewoods23 · January 2022

@zinnia19 yes that's essentially it! I told DH I would want a massage and he's like "the baby is your gift, I'm not buying you anything!". Sad haha 😆

rosegoldg · January 2022

My British ass is just clutching my pearls reading the tea controversy, an American friend told me that everyone heats their tea in the microwave and I'm still not over it

zwink1 · January 2022

@rosegoldg, I've had a stove top kettle for a while, but finally just got an electric kettle this year. 1) I have no idea why I waited this long, 2) I now agree that heating your water for tea in the microwave is... problematic. Lol. I did it for years (like most Americans).

feather_heather · January 2022

@inthewoods23 - haha DH got me a birthstone bracelet when DD was born and I love it! I plan on getting one for each kid (but I love jewelry and wear it everyday)!

sunshineandlemons · January 2022

@rosegoldg Guilty! The worst part is, I have an electric kettle too. 🤦‍♀️

inthewoods23 · January 2022

@rosegoldg does using hot water from the coffee maker count as a tea sin? That's what I used to always do but honestly with the pandemic it's faster to use the microwave to make hot water

@feather_heather I tend to have my few daily favorites with jewelry. I have a pretty good sized collection of necklaces but never put them all in rotation (plus a good number are the "special occasion" type). I probably will want a necklace with baby's birthstone - especially with how much work and time it took to conceive this guy! But I'll just wait for Christmas.

tuxielove93 · January 2022

I’m not a huge jewelry person myself but since being a SAHM with nursing grabby babies and toddlers….. I almost don’t own any jewelry at this point
