    Put your tea bag in the mug and put it in the microwave. Tea is ready when it comes out. Also makes the Brits upset.

      Unsweetened was bad enough. People up north just forgetting it used to involve water? Just crunching on hot tea bags?

        Unsweetened isn’t a thing. That implies that it was sweetened, and then the sweetening was somehow undone. You have tea and you have sweetened tea. It’s just like an uncircumcised dick. That implies that the circumcision was undone somehow you put the foreskin back

          No, that would de-sweetened like decaffeinated coffee. The ‘un’ prefix does not implicity imply a reversal. Like how you can be unemployed without first having a job or unmarried without first being married.
