Why Do Americans Love Ice Water So Much?
23rd October 2022
If you’re an American eating at a restaurant in Europe and you order a glass of water, you may be surprised — and disappointed — to receive a glass of lukewarm water, or, even worse, a room temperature bottle of water.
A glass of ice water, though customary in the United States, is seen as strange and unnecessary elsewhere.
A few years ago, the HuffPost ran an article titled “It’s Weird That American Restaurants Serve Ice Water In Winter,” in which the author called not just drinking ice water in the winter but also drinking ice water generally a “bizarre” practice.
For some reason the Narrative Media have this (to me odd) notion that the way Europeans do things is somehow a norm to which Americans ought to conform, or at least justify any divergence therefrom.

The exception is when Americans are found to favor similar abortion restrictions as do Europeans. I notice that MSM doesn’t mention that.
