From a quick flick through it seems minutes 6-10 are the tea-making and drinking ones :smile:

Uh, ok.

I love how it took him about a minute to find a mug whereas I’ve got an entire subsection of a cupboard devoted to the very things.

Also, the milk container looks very odd.

Edit: I’m craving tea now.

His pan also needs a good wash with a sponge full of fairy liquid.

Its not common place in many American homes, they either boil a pan or microwave a cup of water. You can buy kettles over here but they take a long time to boil and are more expensive to run plus most people drink coffee so use the coffee machine instead since some have boiling water features.

Not the electric kettles with plugs that exist in the uk.
You have to have lived in the usa or with an american who has spent most of their adult life in the usa to appreciate some of these differences. :biggrin:

It is a strange milk container, all the ones I've purchased looks the same as in the UK but he also only wanted a quart and not a whole gallon and whenever I've bought one in Walmart its either half gallon 64fl oz or full gallon 128fl oz I've only once seen a quart one and that was in a similar container to what he got. My parents also have a cupboard filled with mugs back home in UK.

Lawls who raised him he’s so cute.
Spends 2 whole minutes explaining what kind of milk he is using.
