peppermint tea

Unfortunately, I've had neither. I am so out of the loop on this discussion. I've never even had peppermint tea!

Favorite beverages is a different matter, and discussion of such would probably destroy my reputation.

Why does Karl Marx drink Peppermint Tea? Because proper tea is theft.

But to be controversial Verveine anyone?

(In order to save your joke it became necessary to destroy it. )

Earl Grey, milk, two sugars.

I would say tea is more hippie than yuppie, not that that makes it any more excusable.

Hippie Yuppies!!! DEAR GOD!

Strong English Breakfast, one sugar, tiniest bit of milk is what you want.

More seriously, English Breakfast = tea Liebraumilch, surely.

Oh, and if English Breakfast is the Liebfraumilch of tea then Earl Grey is its La Piat D'Or.

Aaaaaahhhhh...

15 years in America turned me off tea for good. Yuck! Though at a pinch, I will drink PG Tips. Cause chimps are KEWL.

I drink coffee. I only do one cup a day though, sometimes skipping a day. It screws up my teeth too much, I mean no amount of whitening toothpaste is going to get rid of both nicotene and coffee stains, hello. I like to have hyper strong coffee with tons and tons and tons of sugar in it and plenty of milk. I once drank 27 cups of coffee in a morning. I passed out from hypertension and my boyfriend-at-the- time drew a smiley face on my cheek, instead of, like, you know, being worried about me. Loser.

I'm shutting up about this now because I'm giving myself the willies.

I was always bemused with girls I knew that would trash models and actresses for having fake tits but would all have brace put on their teeth, which were no more crooked than mine, and the only reason anyone knows that my teeth are crooked is if I tell them or if I bite them and they can see that the bite marks are off.

It is true that there is a big transatlantic cultural hangup on this, both in America's weird phobia of tooth imperfection and the UK's paranoid suspicion of tooth correction as vanity. The perfect example of this was the explosion of wrath here when it was reported that Martin Amis had spent a monster book advance on getting his teeth done because his American girlfriend had insisted. That's when I suddenly realised that it went beyond the usual lame US xenophobia and actually Touched a Cultural Nerve.

Plus wasn't his reason horrible horrible toothache? I confess to schadenfreude over that, also, as one who hasn't had TA since I was, like, 10.

It just annoys me. I've had multiple dentists ask me if I wanted to get my teeth straightened. For what? To fix ONE TOOTH? $5000 to fix ONE TOOTH that is slightly, slightly turned behind another one? At least a year of braces and discomfort for ONE TOOTH? My arse.

of course, now you can just make up 5 people. It's not like I know your friends!

In college, my wife got braces to fix a situation that wasn't bad at the time, but would have eventually led to serious chewing problems. Of course, I didn't start dating her until after she got the braces (which enforced my mistaken impression that she was two years behind me in school rather than two years ahed of me, heh).

I'm one. Couldn't come up with 4 more, though.

i really just love peppermint tea now. it completely crept on me, the appreciation. i'm hooked.

I'm about 80% with you there. well maybe 75%

Mint tea is strictly for islamofascists. Me, I drink Freedom Coffee.

it makes me all tingly, this mint tea. it's a very tingly tea.

whatabout fresh mint tea? I've never drunk it but make it for many people at work. to me it just looks like wilted leaves and hot hot water

ooh i've never had!

Seriously, I can verify that the fresh stuff is great.

multipl by the square root of the stains in my underwear, disgusting ass partner, and ill raise you two stinklines

this is the most underrated beverage.

my local herbalist told me that peppermint "settles the stomach" but is not as medicinal as other herbs.

NO.

peppermint tea just feels very healing and soothing. this means that it is so.

it cures every ailment.

Except heartburn apparently.

Love it. Make my own from mint in our garden.
