I never got people that load up tea with sugar and milk. It's barely tea at that point.

Tried to order green tea at a drive thru once and they asked what I wanted with it. Confused the heck out of me and I just responded with "uh, tea?"
Reminds me of when I asked for a cream soda at Wendy's and they responded with "What flavor?" and I was like "Uh... cream soda flavored?"
Turns out they didn't have regular cream soda....
European here, what the hell is a "cream soda"? That sounds horrible.
It's basically just a vanilla-flavored soda. Apparently there are some European varieties, according to the wikipedia page, but they must not be that popular if you've never heard of it.
You can get it in Germany but typically only in import candy stores. While I don't mind the flavor it's generally considered too sweet by people who try it.

You're clearly not Italian. They put actual cream in soda. The American variety just tastes like ice cream due to the vanilla, no cream involved.
It's actually good. It's been a long time since I had any, but from what I recall I think the best way I could describe it is that it's like if you let the ice cream in a root beer float melt and mix in with the root beer. Except without the root beer flavor. So vanilla, creamy and carbonated.
In the US cream soda is NEVER pink. Was weird to see that when I went to Canada
Nah, it is definitely a thing in the US. Usually called red cream soda. It tastes god awful, like over sweetened bubble gum.
Maybe it's a regional thing closer to the Canadian border
Although looking it up supposedly "Big Red" is a type of red cream soda, and they love that shit in Texas. But it doesn't call itself cream soda. Everywhere I've lived cream soda is invariably amber colored.

It’s like one of the best kinds ever, although it’s pretty old school where I am. We also call it creamy soda in Australia.

Apparently they like "barely tea" shrug
I wasn’t a fan at first but barley tea really grew on me.
[At least where I'm at] it's kind of hard to find good tea. Like there are 400 cafés in the city that serve single origin beans with latte art, but I only have one local shop where I can get decent loose leaf. If I end up drinking the stuff from the grocery store, I probably will put sugar in it.

I don't shame people who order what is effectively a coffee flavored milkshake every morning. But I wish they'd cop to it and call it a milkshake.
There's two thousand calories in your mocha triple vanilla pump latte, Susan. Own it.
I just like sweet tasting early grey with a bit of caffine
As a kid I always hated tea because when my dad made it, it would always have an obscene amount of sugar. It blew my mind when I tried someone else's tea with a little honey and milk, that shit's SO good
It is a good way to use cheaper tea like the tea bags that only contain tea dust. A cup from these will be rather bitter but it can taste nice once you add milk and/or sugar.

I drink black coffee so I'm free to judge all of you.
The master race! Hold strong brother (sister?) 💪
Most of the sugary drinks I drink have had most of the sugar converted into alcohol before I drink it which makes it much healthier!
I don't get people who drink tea with a fuckton of sugar. At tyst point it's damn near impossible to to even taste the actual tea anymore.
I tend to drink it like that. Apparently it's not socially appropriate to drink hot sugar water, and I need the sugar.
My secondary issue is that most tea available now is quite crap quality. I don't need sugar in good tea, but good tea is not trivial to make, and requires good tea to work with. Failing that, masking the poor flavour with sugar helps.

Anyone who saw the Men In Black movie would be a little suspicious.

I drink all tea without anything added to it. Sugar just makes me hyper all day.
A smidge of honey or nothing at all is the way to go. If you need to put a lot of sugar in the tea, you probably brewed it wrong (or it's just shitty tea).

Same, can't relate to that comic at all
Really depends on the Tea.
Stash makes good tasting Tea. If you're into Loose Leaf - they're all usually strong. But Lipton makes weak ass shit. You'd need 3 bags and then it just turns bitter.
The spider is in the door keyhole. Captain flies away.
Beat me to it! Thank you for your service
A teaspoon or less of sugar, honey, or other sweetener I find both pleasant in my tea or coffee, and that it helps to support and express the floral and fruity flavors of them. I also sometimes like a little cream or milk, which can soften bitterness or help support certain spices (masala chai without cream just isn't the same!)
People who are snobs about it are ridiculous, doctor up your beverage however works to enhance your joy of it. I try to keep my sugar down but you could add 2 or 3 spoonfuls to a big mug of tea and still not come close to how much is in a coke.
(Edit: the comic is cute and funny! People who are preachy about tea are also ridiculous. Sometimes you just need a diet soda or an energy drink for breakfast!)

I drink my coffee either black or with a shit-ton of creamer/milk and sweetener... no in-between.
I also prefer tea to be the latter, minus Earl Grey... it tastes better to me without milk, strangely.
Im the same. My coffee is either an utility drink made to sharpen by focus, or dessert.
But I find milk in tea diagusting for some reason.

I think I'm going to make some tea now
I know for a 24oz mug I use about 70 to 90 grams of sugar after adding milk so I can't say much
So for .006 Barrels you use 1080.2651-1388.9123 Grains? Seems high.
0.0787 Stone of sugar lasts me 2-3 seasons
