Sun tea is the best tea, but we all don't have the warm weather all year. Tea bags in a glass container (mine has a spout). It is the best in the summer sitting in the table outside and brewing in the sun. In the winter, we leave it in the counter and brew in the heat of the house. (We live in Pennsylvania.)

I use tea bags to make iced tea. There are many products in GB that are actually from American manufacturers, such as the candy bar you call Bounty. Another example is Heinz, very much an American company.
MARS in the US was founded by Franklin Clarence Mars. The company is still owned by the Mars family. At some point, there was a disagreement between Mars and his son Forrest Mars. Forrest moved to the UK and began his own candy company making copies of his father's American candies. FYI, the British Mars Bar is virtually an exact copy of the American Milky Way bar. The same applies to several other MARS UK products. Oh, I should mention that Mars is now "M&M/Mars."
Why would we name our candy bars what you can them. They are Mounds and Almond Joy (my absolutely favorite!). You are actually calling them by the wrong name. 😊
Bounty is a knockoff of Mounds made by a different co. It legally can’t have the same name. Mounds by Peter Paul co. (Now made by Hersheys Through a license with Cadbury) vs. Bounty by Mars inc.
In the '90s I had a Brit co-worker smugly tell me that our National Anthem was based on a British drinking song. I told her that it was so common former British subjects could remember it (true). She was further scandalized when I told her that we have our own patriotic song to the tune of "God Save the Queen." It was queen at the time. I proceeded to sing a few bars of America the Beautiful. Very satisfying to see the look of horror on her smug face. We were in Alexandria, VA at an historic tavern. I live here and she clearly underestimated the historic education one gets from that. Yes, our anthem was written by Francis Scott Key in Balitmore during the war of 1812, but the British roots were only about 35 years past. We won that war, too. Just sayin'.
Why bounty? Do pirates make them? What crime did the candy bar commit to have a price on their head? Or is a hand sized sweet considered generous? And the milk chocolate bounty does not have the almond, as the almond joy. And of course the mounds and almond joy have female and male derivations, wink wink, nod nod.
It's called Almond Joy, because it has almonds in it. These brands, as mentioned were started in the early part of the last century. What's so stupid about almond joy. It was there first.
Bottled tea is a relatively recent development. Everyone I know who makes iced tea at home makes it from hot tea, brewed with tea bags, then chilled; that way, you can control the strength and sweetness. Plenty of hot tea drinkers here, too. Not as much a part of the culture, as in Britain, of course, but there are more here than you might think. And not every American likes coffee!
I kind of remember cold-brewing became a thing either in the late 70's or early 80's. I now make iced tea using tea bags in water (without boiling) and letting them sit in the fridge for a couple of days.
This is true. I started drinking more coffee. Was it coincidentally while serving in the military? I’m not sure, but I did still like my hot tea. My brother said he hated coffee. I forget his thoughts regarding hot tea though. My Dad drank both hot tea and coffee. His family (mostly Mom’s side) is Irish. Dad’s father’s family is mostly Scottish. I’m not sure whether they mostly drank hot tea or not.
I'm American and I make iced tea with tea bags. I boil water and put several tea bags in it and let it brew. Then I put it in a pitcher and place that in the fridge. Yes, it comes in bottles, but that's only in the last few decades. I don't like my iced tea sweetened either.
The difference between Almond Joy and Mounds is Mounds is just dark chocolate and coconut, Almond Joy is milk chocolate and coconut, but also has almonds in them.
No self respectin' Southerner gets their iced tea from a bottle. We brew it from tea bags. This way you control the strength of the tea and the amount of sugar. I use 10 tea bags to 3 cups of boiling water, steep it, cool it in the fridge, fill my ice tea pitcher with ice and pour the still-concentrated tea into it. I don't add any sugar to it. For every glass, fill with ice and tea.
The only reason Christmas has gotten so commercialized is people exchanging gifts as "Father Christmas" with friends and family. We use tea bags to make the tea to sweeten to put in pitchers in our fridges or just to make a cup of tea.
FYI: I'm from South Georgia, as southern as you can get, and we always use teabags to make our iced tea. There are different sized tea bags, but we use the family size tea bags which are much bigger than a small bag used by our British brethren.
Actually we do drink hot tea but not as often as coffee. I probably drink hot tea 6 to 8 times a month but drink coffee every day. We also drink a very wide range of tea. I have at least 8 different types but like black tea the best. I also love Earl Grey and Constant Comment. At this time I don't have any loose leaf tea but usually use it if I make an entire pot. As a matter of fact, I like to go with friends to The Mad Hatter Tea Parlour for lunch once in a while. It so cute there! It's in Anoka, Minnesota. You should look it up, there is even a video.
Ok, now I'm gonna have to switch my tune... when they raise money for the American Legion by handing out poppies, I always refused the poppies because I was told they were seen as symbols of British oppression against Irish Catholics... (I'm an Irish American Catholic)... but since the poppies actually have their origins in our country, the USA, I can now take the poppy.
I always take or buy the poppy. My grandfather belonged to an American Legion club, and my mom was their Miss Buddy Poppy Queen in their section of the parade in Detroit one year. She made sure we knew what it's all about. It always makes me smile to see them, and I admire the Brits for giving them the honor they deserve.
This really should hammer home that people lie and tell others the same lies, so never accept words as true when spoken. Always accept the info and verify it. That way you're able to learn more than what was said, so when it comes up again you can teach the others what's correct. It's never about being right, rather knowing WHAT is right.
@@fateunleashed9680 The truth is that in 1916 during WWI The Irish rebelled against British rule, and over time the Brits politicized the poppy. There are Irish soccer players in the Premier League who get threatened for not wearing the poppy. On 11 Nov 2018 I was part of an American delegation in Flanders Belgium to commemorate the Americans at an American WWI cemetery, then we went to Ypres. I got a lot of nasty stares from Brit tourists for wearing the Bleuet de France. But now, I can wear the Poppy because its origins are in the USA, not Britain.
Lawrence is totally wrong about Bounty chocolate bars being called Almond Joy or Mounds. 35 years ago all three candies were sold here in the States. Almond Joy and Mounds have been available since I was born in the '60's and well before that. I saw my first Bounty bar in the late 80's. I have not seen a Bounty bar in over 20 years while Almond Joy and Mounds are still being sold.
The Puritans' main complaint about Christmas wasn't the holiday itself, but the way that people spent the day. Christmas celebrations were often an excuse to get drunk and go crazy; basically New Year's Eve for the 17th century. They thought people should spend the time in worship or contemplation of God, not partying, and they felt if they couldn't get people to celebrate "correctly," then it was better to ban the celebrations altogether.
Plus, and I forget where I heard or read it, European Christmas then was more akin to our Halloween today. I believe it was Swiss nuns(?) who "Christianized" the holiday to keep kids from terrorizing communities with violent forms of trick or treat.
Actually, they did have a problem with the holiday itself. They saw the pagan origins of holidays, even though the Catholic Church changed them to give them a Christian meaning, and would not celebrate any. If it wasn't in the Bible, they didn't celebrate it and this included personal celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries. The only holiday the Puritans retained from their homeland was the Harvest Home because it was a gathering to thank God for a bountiful harvest.
I know the main focus is on Christmas being banned by the Puritans in Colonial America but at this same time Christmas as also banned in England by Parliament.
We go through 3-4 boxes (48 count) of family size tea bags a month just making iced tea for mom and I. Then there are the different kinds of single tea bags and loose leaf teas we use for hot tea. All I usually drink 24/7 is home brewed tea. 😂
❤ Kabir....you've got to hear the old mounds/almond joy advertising jingle: " sometimes you feel like a nut 🎶 sometimes you don't 🎵 almond joy's got nuts...mounds don't! "
Don't know if it's true, but I found something online that says they were named Bounty after New Zealand's Bounty Islands, which was supposedly the source of the cocoanuts during early production. Though looking at where those islands actually are makes me suspect that's not true. The Bounty Islands are way too close to Antarctica to be growing palm trees.
Of course we use teabags to make iced tea. I make a jug of it about three times a week. The only time I buy bottled tea is when I’m traveling. in regards to “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, I was a big fan of the musical Carousel as a kid. That song is one of my favorites. I can’t understand what it has to do with sports though. It doesn’t seem like the raucous music we would play at a football game.
Im in Texas.I prefer Sun tea like it sounds we use the sun to make the tea, and we use tea bags, lots of tea bags and a large glass pitcher. To make homemade sun tea, simply fill a large glass dispenser with water, and add 8 tea bags per gallon, based on the size of your container. Set in the sun for 2-4 hours add fruit and sugar if desired. Let cool drink with a lot of ice. 8 tea bags per gallon.
@kabirconsiders We drink tea in America, iced tea in the summer and hot tea in the winter and they both start off in a tea bag. We even have cold brew tea bags.
The name Bounty came after because they had to give the copy a new name. Almond Joy has 2 almonds on top. Mounds and Bounty don't. You're forgetting, or somehow don't know, that people, southerners especially, d make iced tea at home with large "Faily size" tea bags. It's more likely northerners/Yankees buy premade tea. Bottled tea is disgusting.
Tea in bottles didn’t come around until the 1990’s early 2000’s. Before then me, my mother, grandmother and so on back made iced tea from tea bags. Larger than tea bags made for just a cup of tea. You would boil the water and steep the tea until it was the strength you liked, add the sugar to the hot/warm tea then put it in the fridge to get cold. You must put the sugar in while the water is warm or hot or that sugar just never dissolves. Many many people still make sweet tea that because the bottled tea is crap. Oh, it’s called Almond Joy because the candy bar has almonds in it and Mounds does not.
We make sun tea year round in Phoenix. Just fill a gallon glass tea jar with water and the right amount of tea bags and set it outside in the sun. When brewed, take the bags out and chill in the fridge. Serve over ice. Simple.
Lots of us like tea and a lot of us make our own ice tea with tea bags. When we are sick, a nice cup of tea is what some of us go for, not coffee. Because of my age, Santa Claus, courtesy of the Coca Cola Company, was making inroads into the culture but we still had many of my Mother’s ornaments from her childhood and Father Christmas was among them also, along with fancy German ornaments. Of course this stuff was made here and it was still selling strong in the 1950’s. I used to get confused between Santa and Father Christmas. No one ever explained. My Mother was Italian and my Father Irish so we still had our Grandparents traditions too. It was fun.
Every morning my mom would boil a big pot of water, and throw in half a dozen tea bags before heading to work. When she came home from work she would add some freshly squeezed (my yours truly) lemons juice, a scoop of sugar and serve it as iced tea with dinner.
We do use tea bags to make tea and we boil our tea bags in water on the stove. Sometimes we make sun tea by putting tea bags in a large jar with water and putting it outside in the sun for a few hours. The we add sugar and ice and then put it in the refrigerator to stay cold. (Cold Sweet ice tea) I hate hot tea, but I've noticed over my 58 years that a lot women prefer hot tea.
Almond Joy is called almond joy because it has nuts (almonds), while Mounds don’t have nuts and are akin to your “Bounty.” No way you can call a candy “Bounty” here as Bounty is the best selling paper towel brand (kitchen roll in goofy Brit English). Almond Joy and Mounds are advertised together with a catchy jingle: “Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t!”
We have every flavor of tea you can imagine. My favorite is either green tea or black tea. But I do also enjoy apple cranberry tea, chai tea, jasmine tea, and for night time sleep tea. I actually do own a electric kettle. But my mom has a stove kettle. Is surely preference and how quickly you want it. And as for iced tea it does come in a bag. You still need boiling water over that tea bag. And depending on where you live if you put ice in the pitcher or your glass.
I can only speak for the South in America to say we drink a lot of tea. I keep tea bags all the time. I also have loose tea but I keep sweetened ice tea in the fridge all the time. You can also buy it in any restaurant you go to. It’s brewed several times a day. 😊
We used to do the ice tea quite often in the summer mostly, sun tea. I liked the mint tea that this one company put out. However, now they quit making it :(. My husbands Aunt made us iced tea using a new machine (at that time). It was pretty good too. I think, but not entirely sure, that it allowed the maker to add as much sugar that they wanted. I guess some used less and some used more?
Clearly y’all over in Britain don’t have “Almonds”😂Almonds are a type of nut here in America. The candy “Almond Joy” is called that because there are Almonds in the candy bar, along with the chocolate and coconut. And it’s pronounce “ahh” “mond” not “al” “mond”. Like Salmon, the “L” is silent👍
“Bounty” ( maybe different spelling???) is the name of paper towel brand here and also dryer sheets, I think 🤔 …not sure what came first but … if it was called “bounty”( chocolate bar) then I would be thinking I was eating paper towels or dryer sheets. That would be the first thing that would come to my mind lol
Almond joy has nuts, mounds don't.... A famous jingle song any Gen x person can sing in their sleep. And "The Beautiful Game" was actually invented by Brasil in the 1950's & 1960's and that phrase was exclusively used to describe ginga a form of Brazilian soccer which Pele mastered.
Tea bags are absolutely used to make iced tea. I remember seeing people setting out their giant jars of water with tea bags in the sun to make the sun tea. Do people still do that?
Twinnings sells cold brew tea bags. I kept them in my desk at work and added them to bottles of water for cold tea. Easy and relatively quick to make, plus WAY better tasting than instant tea powder. 🤢
Actually we do use tea bags to make iced tea. In our homes and even in our restaurants. They are much bigger than your single serve tea bags that I'm guessing are the standard in Britain. But when Americans make iced tea. They don't do so by the cup but rather by the quarts or gallons. So our tea bags are quite a bit larger than for a single cup of tea. Although we do also have those as well. And we also have lose tea leaves too. The game you call football in the U.K. that we call Soccer here in the States. Was originally called Soccer first by the British. The United States stuck with the original English name of the sport most likely because of our game of American Football. That we simply refer to as just Football. After all Brazil Nuts in Brazil are just called nuts.
I’m first generation American English & Irish born parents. I cannot get coffee down my throat. It’s smells good but I can’t take the taste of it. Whatever ailed is growing up my Mom would say “I’ll put the ket’le on” and we were cured. :)).
I'm a PG Tips tea drinker myself thanks to British imports being available here where I live in the US. The best bagged tea. This would convert more Americans if they tried it. Not bitter but rich full flavor if properly steeped. Boiling water into cup , three minutes. Gotta have me coffee too.
American here, I don’t like coffee at all. I’m a tea drinker and use an electric kettle. I’ve been using electric kettles for almost thirty years. My current kettle has multiple temperature settings for different types of tea and a 30 minute keep warm option. Whatever setting I have it on, the water will maintain that temperature. I bought the kettle on Amazon for $30-40. It was over a year ago. My previous kettle stopped working. Different brand. A cheap one from Walmart that lasted about 2 years. I drink my black tea with sugar and milk. Yorkshire Gold is my everyday tea. I also have Twinings, some loose leaf teas etc. I’ve always had my black teas with sugar and milk or half and half. When I was a newborn/ infant, my mother’s neighbor was British. She invited her over for tea. She made my mother a proper cup of British tea, put milk in it. My mom had never had milk in her tea. The woman told her to try it. After that my mom would only have her tea with milk and sugar. I’ve always had my hot black tea the British way. If it’s an herbal tea, I’ll have it with honey or without honey and zero milk.
Ice Tea from a bottle?!?!? Oh no!!! 🤣🤣 We make our ice tea and sweet tea from tea bags. They don't just appear in a bottle like Snapple. lolol 🤣🤣 Although some do drink it from bottles.
I love how you just explained Almond Joy and Mounds bars to us, only called it Bounty. Given that Almond Joy and Mounds came first, you then wonder why we don't just call ours Bounty. Umm...
That Santa one was a bit of a stretch. Every version (Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Père Noël, etc., etc.) is based on Saint Nicholas who was a Christian bishop from the 4th century in what is now Turkey. Definitely invented by neither the Americans or British. The modern "look" of Santa Claus came from German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast who came up with the look for Harper's Weekly in the 1860s. Nast based his design on descriptions from the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (otherwise known as "Twas The Night Before Christmas") by American writer Clement Clarke Moore.
Okay, by now you have been informed than people actually make iced tea at home so React to a vivacious, entertaining Alabama lady making Iced Tea. The video is called Nothing better on a hot Alabama day than a cold glass of Y'all Sweet and it's on the Brenda Gantt channel.
Real ice tea is not from a big container. There are teabags specially made for iced tea. Also, there are plenty of tea drinkers in the US, including myself. Find these things out Kabir!!
We use tea bags for sun ta. e fill a glass cntainse with water and th ea bas and let the sun sw br it. After a while the tea is is brought inside and poured over he ice. And we drink it.
Christmas was banned by the Puritans under the Commonwealth because of the holiday's association with drunken debauchery when good Christians should have been reading their Bibles quietly at home. That time is reflected in the Royalist song, "The World Turned Upside Down.". This was also the song played by British troops when they surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in 1783 during the American Revolution, a bit over a hundred years later.
First of all Bounty is the British knockoff name of the American candy bar Mounds. Almond Joy is simply a Mounds or Bounty in your case, with a couple of whole almonds added just underneath the chocolate. So that's the two reasons they are not called Bounty here in America. Because that is not their original name. And your Bounty doesn't have a version with almonds.
We don't call it Bounty because Mounds is the OG. Bounty is the copycat. The Almond Joy has almonds on it so unless you have a Bounty with almonds they're not the same candy bar. You're forgetting that we were once upon a time a British colonized land so were a bunch of tea drinkers until we weren't. Iced tea in a bottle did not become a thing until 1983 and the US wasn't the first to manufacture it that way. Switzerland Ruedi Bärlocher and Martin Sprenger, two employees of the Swiss Bischofszell beverage company, had tried the famous American iced tea and first suggested to produce ready-made iced tea in bottles. In 1983, Bischofszell Food Ltd. became the first producer in the world of bottled ice tea on an industrial scale So we most definitely have been using the tea bags as we know them today to make hot cups of tea and iced tea since 1944 when the shape and manufacturing of them changed. The ones for the 40+ years prior were either hand sewn sacks or later made from a tea bag packing machine that was invented in 1929 by (wait for it...) a German company and it's rumored that the loose tea inside was supposed to be taken out of the bag to be brewed and people found it easier to just leave them in because the bags were porous so made it easier, lol.
Almond Joy & Mounds were made by the Peter Paul co (later merged with Cadbury-Schweppes). Bounty was a knockoff of Mounds made by the Mars inc. Two different companies making the.same candy bar.
No, we definitely use tea bags to make iced tea. We make tea the same way you do, and we either drink it hot or on ice. American iced tea is just plain tea on ice…our tea is no different than your tea. Put sugar in it, and you have sweet tea.
Why do you think that iced tea isn't made using tea bags? It's only in a bottle when you buy it from the store or make it at home & then pour it into a bottle.
"Why not call them bounty" he just said that Mounds came first, so Bounty is the knock off and would be the one that needs to change names. Christmas and Easter are both Pegan holidays that were appropriated into Christian holidays because the Pope wanted Christianity to be the world religion and Christian's had few if any holidays before the 1500's. This is why protestants fled because Christians extremist were a major problem. To this day there still are Christian and Islamic extremists that love to torment others. There are many groups but the KKK and ISIS are probably the most well known.
Excuse me ... ice tea IS made at home from tea bags. In fact, they make special extra-large bags for this purpose.
I was just about to respond to that, thx 😅
Every day thsnk you
Thank you! The bottled stuff is generally atrocious.
Don't get me started on that awful powdered stuff!🤢
Sun tea is even better.
We DO use tea bags to make iced tea. I also happen to love hot tea and drink it often.
The type of chocolate has nothing to do with it. The jingle goes like this:‘Almond Joy’s got nuts. Mounds don’t’

Calling Almond Joy's "Bounty's" sounds wrong to me because it sounds like you are calling them paper towels. XD
Well of course we use tea bags to make iced tea! 😂🤦♀️ You add the bags to boiling water, then mix it with sugar, chill it, then pour it over ice. 😅
Sun tea is the best tea, but we all don't have the warm weather all year.
Tea bags in a glass container (mine has a spout). It is the best in the summer sitting in the table outside and brewing in the sun. In the winter, we leave it in the counter and brew in the heat of the house. (We live in Pennsylvania.) I have never made iced tea with boiling water.

Sun tea is the worst tea. Brewed tea is the best tea. Sun tea is for people too lazy to make it right.

Almond Joy have nuts, Mounds don’t.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't!
We over here do use tea bags to make/brew Iced tea, different flavors and blends is an art.
I make my iced tea with loose leaf tea, but generally people use tea bags.
The chocolate and coconut bars are called Mounds bars. The chocolate, coconut, and almond bars are called Almond Joy bars.
And they were created and named in US..... which is why we don't just call them Bounty.
Why would we name our candy bars what you can them. They are Mounds and Almond Joy (my absolutely favorite!). You are actually calling them by the wrong name. 😊
And... Almond Joy and Mounds came BEFORE BOUNTY so why would you not just call Bounty the other?
Because sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.

Personally, I think Almond *_Joy_*
and *MOUNDS* as in little _mounds_ of coconut are perfect names and much more apt than Bounty.
Someone in the US had visions down the road to save the Bounty name for paper towels ;). Jk, but wouldn’t that be something?
Why bounty? Do pirates make them? What crime did the candy bar commit to have a price on their head? Or is a hand sized sweet considered generous?

Almond Joy has almonds in addition to coconut. Thus the name. Mounds is the basic chocolate with coconut like Bounty.
We do have loose leaf tea and teabags in many different varieties of teas like green tea ,chai and even Earl Gray and etc. we have herbal teas too.

Ok, now I'm gonna have to switch my tune... when they raise money for the American Legion by handing out poppies, I always refused the poppies because I was told they were seen as symbols of British oppression against Irish Catholics... (I'm an Irish American Catholic)... but since the poppies actually have their origins in our country, the USA, I can now take the poppy.
I always take or buy the poppy. My grandfather belonged to an American Legion club, and my mom was their Miss Buddy Poppy Queen in their section of the parade in Detroit one year. She made sure we knew what it's all about. It always makes me smile to see them, and I admire the Brits for giving them the honor they deserve.
This really should hammer home that people lie and tell others the same lies, so never accept words as true when spoken. Always accept the info and verify it. That way you're able to learn more than what was said, so when it comes up again you can teach the others what's correct. It's never about being right, rather knowing WHAT is right.
@@fateunleashed9680 The truth is that in 1916 during WWI The Irish rebelled against British rule, and over time the Brits politicized the poppy. There are Irish soccer players in the Premier League who get threatened for not wearing the poppy. On 11 Nov 2018 I was part of an American delegation in Flanders Belgium to commemorate the Americans at an American WWI cemetery, then we went to Ypres. I got a lot of nasty stares from Brit tourists for wearing the Bleuet de France. But now, I can wear the Poppy because its origins are in the USA, not Britain.
China invented the first kick a ball into a net game, but England did invent modern football.
And "soccer" ⚽️
Check out how the Aztecs invented basketball...... that's a doozy.
Lawrence is totally wrong about Bounty chocolate bars being called Almond Joy or Mounds. 35 years ago all three candies were sold here in the States. Almond Joy and Mounds have been available since I was born in the '60's and well before that. I saw my first Bounty bar in the late 80's. I have not seen a Bounty bar in over 20 years while Almond Joy and Mounds are still being sold.
Oh good! I thought I had false memories
The Puritans' main complaint about Christmas wasn't the holiday itself, but the way that people spent the day. Christmas celebrations were often an excuse to get drunk and go crazy; basically New Year's Eve for the 17th century. They thought people should spend the time in worship or contemplation of God, not partying, and they felt if they couldn't get people to celebrate "correctly," then it was better to ban the celebrations altogether.
Plus, and I forget where I heard or read it, European Christmas then was more akin to our Halloween today. I believe it was Swiss nuns(?) who "Christianized" the holiday to keep kids from terrorizing communities with violent forms of trick or treat.
Actually, they did have a problem with the holiday itself. They saw the pagan origins of holidays, even though the Catholic Church changed them to give them a Christian meaning, and would not celebrate any. If it wasn't in the Bible, they didn't celebrate it and this included personal celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries. The only holiday the Puritans retained from their homeland was the Harvest Home because it was a gathering to thank God for a bountiful harvest.
I know the main focus is on Christmas being banned by the Puritans in Colonial America but at this same time Christmas as also banned in England by Parliament.
We go through 3-4 boxes (48 count) of family size tea bags a month just making iced tea for mom and I. Then there are the different kinds of single tea bags and loose leaf teas we use for hot tea. All I usually drink 24/7 is home brewed tea. 😂
❤ Kabir....you've got to hear the old mounds/almond joy advertising jingle: " sometimes you feel like a nut 🎶 sometimes you don't 🎵 almond joy's got nuts...mounds don't! "
Some of these jokes went over Kabir's head.
how do you think we make iced-tea at home.
Almond Joy was the original name. What does Bounty even mean?
Don't know if it's true, but I found something online that says they were named Bounty after New Zealand's Bounty Islands, which was supposedly the source of the cocoanuts during early production. Though looking at where those islands actually are makes me suspect that's not true. The Bounty Islands are way too close to Antarctica to be growing palm trees.
@@Belleplainer When you have to do a deep dive...🤣
the other side of the jingle is "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."
Of course we use teabags to make iced tea. I make a jug of it about three times a week. The only time I buy bottled tea is when I’m traveling. in regards to “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, I was a big fan of the musical Carousel as a kid. That song is one of my favorites. I can’t understand what it has to do with sports though. It doesn’t seem like the raucous music we would play at a football game.
Pre-made IcedTea in a container you get at the store is a very recent innovation. You do indeed make Iced Tea with tea bags.
Im in Texas.I prefer Sun tea like it sounds we use the sun to make the tea, and we use tea bags, lots of tea bags and a large glass pitcher. To make homemade sun tea, simply fill a large glass dispenser with water, and add 8 tea bags per gallon, based on the size of your container. Set in the sun for 2-4 hours add fruit and sugar if desired. Let cool drink with a lot of ice. 8 tea bags per gallon.
@kabirconsiders We drink tea in America, iced tea in the summer and hot tea in the winter and they both start off in a tea bag. We even have cold brew tea bags.
Oh yes, we do. Tea bags are used for making Sun Tea. Brewed by the Sun. My Husband just loves it ❤
The name Bounty came after because they had to give the copy a new name. Almond Joy has 2 almonds on top. Mounds and Bounty don't. You're forgetting, or somehow don't know, that people, southerners especially, d make iced tea at home with large "Faily size" tea bags. It's more likely northerners/Yankees buy premade tea. Bottled tea is disgusting.
Homemade Ice Tea is made with tea bags. I have a box in my kitchen lol
Tea in bottles didn’t come around until the 1990’s early 2000’s. Before then me, my mother, grandmother and so on back made iced tea from tea bags. Larger than tea bags made for just a cup of tea. You would boil the water and steep the tea until it was the strength you liked, add the sugar to the hot/warm tea then put it in the fridge to get cold. You must put the sugar in while the water is warm or hot or that sugar just never dissolves. Many many people still make sweet tea that because the bottled tea is crap. Oh, it’s called Almond Joy because the candy bar has almonds in it and Mounds does not.
We make sun tea year round in Phoenix. Just fill a gallon glass tea jar with water and the right amount of tea bags and set it outside in the sun. When brewed, take the bags out and chill in the fridge. Serve over ice. Simple.
Lots of us like tea and a lot of us make our own ice tea with tea bags. When we are sick, a nice cup of tea is what some of us go for, not coffee. Because of my age, Santa Claus, courtesy of the Coca Cola Company, was making inroads into the culture but we still had many of my Mother’s ornaments from her childhood and Father Christmas was among them also, along with fancy German ornaments. Of course this stuff was made here and it was still selling strong in the 1950’s. I used to get confused between Santa and Father Christmas. No one ever explained. My Mother was Italian and my Father Irish so we still had our Grandparents traditions too. It was fun.
Tea bags are definitely used to make our iced tea.
Every morning my mom would boil a big pot of water, and throw in half a dozen tea bags before heading to work. When she came home from work she would add some freshly squeezed (my yours truly) lemons juice, a scoop of sugar and serve it as iced tea with dinner.
I'm American but my ancestors are from England and your brothers and sisters across the pond
We do use tea bags to make tea and we boil our tea bags in water on the stove. Sometimes we make sun tea by putting tea bags in a large jar with water and putting it outside in the sun for a few hours. The we add sugar and ice and then put it in the refrigerator to stay cold. (Cold Sweet ice tea) I hate hot tea, but I've noticed over my 58 years that a lot women prefer hot tea.
Almond Joy is called almond joy because it has nuts (almonds), while Mounds don’t have nuts and are akin to your “Bounty.” No way you can call a candy “Bounty” here as Bounty is the best selling paper towel brand (kitchen roll in goofy Brit English). Almond Joy and Mounds are advertised together with a catchy jingle: “Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t!”
Actually we do use tes bags in making tea for iced tea
i love the musical carousel, the made a movie of it as well. we use tea bags to make ice tea.
We have every flavor of tea you can imagine. My favorite is either green tea or black tea. But I do also enjoy apple cranberry tea, chai tea, jasmine tea, and for night time sleep tea. I actually do own a electric kettle. But my mom has a stove kettle. Is surely preference and how quickly you want it. And as for iced tea it does come in a bag. You still need boiling water over that tea bag. And depending on where you live if you put ice in the pitcher or your glass.
I can only speak for the South in America to say we drink a lot of tea. I keep tea bags all the time. I also have loose tea but I keep sweetened ice tea in the fridge all the time. You can also buy it in any restaurant you go to. It’s brewed several times a day. 😊
Jehovahs witnesses don’t celebrate Christmas either….we use tea bags to make iced tea (4 bags in a large jar set out in the sun)
We used to do the ice tea quite often in the summer mostly, sun tea. I liked the mint tea that this one company put out. However, now they quit making it :(. My husbands Aunt made us iced tea using a new machine (at that time). It was pretty good too. I think, but not entirely sure, that it allowed the maker to add as much sugar that they wanted. I guess some used less and some used more?
I make ice tea by the cup WITH a tea bag.
Clearly y’all over in Britain don’t have “Almonds”😂Almonds are a type of nut here in America. The candy “Almond Joy” is called that because there are Almonds in the candy bar, along with the chocolate and coconut. And it’s pronounce “ahh” “mond” not “al” “mond”. Like Salmon, the “L” is silent👍
Not just tea bags, the electric kettle and the automatic electric kettle are also American.
Our Almond joy and Mounds bars are like your Bounty bars.
I've witnessed many Americans make tea, hot and iced, from teabags. You definitely can buy iced tea in bottles almost anywhere though as well
Christmas is actually based on a Pagan Holiday - Mystra's holy day, where you bow to the Evergreen and give it gifts.
“Bounty” ( maybe different spelling???) is the name of paper towel brand here and also dryer sheets, I think 🤔 …not sure what came first but … if it was called “bounty”( chocolate bar) then I would be thinking I was eating paper towels or dryer sheets. That would be the first thing that would come to my mind lol
Almond joy has nuts, mounds don't.... A famous jingle song any Gen x person can sing in their sleep.
And "The Beautiful Game" was actually invented by Brasil in the 1950's & 1960's and that phrase was exclusively used to describe ginga a form of Brazilian soccer which Pele mastered.
We already got Bounty that is the brand name for paper towels. There's no need to change the names for Almond Joys & Mounds.
Tea bags are absolutely used to make iced tea. I remember seeing people setting out their giant jars of water with tea bags in the sun to make the sun tea. Do people still do that?
I drink iced tea which I make using tea bags. Albeit they're family sized because I make tea by the gallon.
Twinnings sells cold brew tea bags. I kept them in my desk at work and added them to bottles of water for cold tea. Easy and relatively quick to make, plus WAY better tasting than instant tea powder. 🤢
Actually we do use tea bags to make iced tea. In our homes and even in our restaurants. They are much bigger than your single serve tea bags that I'm guessing are the standard in Britain. But when Americans make iced tea. They don't do so by the cup but rather by the quarts or gallons. So our tea bags are quite a bit larger than for a single cup of tea. Although we do also have those as well. And we also have lose tea leaves too.
The game you call football in the U.K. that we call Soccer here in the States. Was originally called Soccer first by the British. The United States stuck with the original English name of the sport most likely because of our game of American Football. That we simply refer to as just Football.
After all Brazil Nuts in Brazil are just called nuts.
I’m first generation American English & Irish born parents. I cannot get coffee down my throat. It’s smells good but I can’t take the taste of it. Whatever ailed is growing up my Mom would say “I’ll put the ket’le on” and we were cured. :)).
I'm a PG Tips tea drinker myself thanks to British imports being available here where I live in the US. The best bagged tea. This would convert more Americans if they tried it. Not bitter but rich full flavor if properly steeped. Boiling water into cup , three minutes. Gotta have me coffee too.
American here, I don’t like coffee at all. I’m a tea drinker and use an electric kettle. I’ve been using electric kettles for almost thirty years. My current kettle has multiple temperature settings for different types of tea and a 30 minute keep warm option. Whatever setting I have it on, the water will maintain that temperature. I bought the kettle on Amazon for $30-40. It was over a year ago. My previous kettle stopped working. Different brand. A cheap one from Walmart that lasted about 2 years.
I drink my black tea with sugar and milk. Yorkshire Gold is my everyday tea. I also have Twinings, some loose leaf teas etc. I’ve always had my black teas with sugar and milk or half and half.
When I was a newborn/ infant, my mother’s neighbor was British. She invited her over for tea. She made my mother a proper cup of British tea, put milk in it. My mom had never had milk in her tea. The woman told her to try it. After that my mom would only have her tea with milk and sugar. I’ve always had my hot black tea the British way. If it’s an herbal tea, I’ll have it with honey or without honey and zero milk.
To make the all forms of ice Tea starts from TeaBags!!
Ice Tea from a bottle?!?!? Oh no!!! 🤣🤣 We make our ice tea and sweet tea from tea bags. They don't just appear in a bottle like Snapple. lolol 🤣🤣 Although some do drink it from bottles.
Ladies underpants known s "knickers" also came from the US
I love how you just explained Almond Joy and Mounds bars to us, only called it Bounty. Given that Almond Joy and Mounds came first, you then wonder why we don't just call ours Bounty. Umm...
Wait a minute did he just include Winnie the Pooh as a British creation? Haha, it’s Canadian. 🧐😂
That Santa one was a bit of a stretch. Every version (Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Père Noël, etc., etc.) is based on Saint Nicholas who was a Christian bishop from the 4th century in what is now Turkey. Definitely invented by neither the Americans or British. The modern "look" of Santa Claus came from German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast who came up with the look for Harper's Weekly in the 1860s. Nast based his design on descriptions from the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (otherwise known as "Twas The Night Before Christmas") by American writer Clement Clarke Moore.
Okay, by now you have been informed than people actually make iced tea at home so React to a vivacious, entertaining Alabama lady making Iced Tea. The video is called Nothing better on a hot Alabama day than a cold glass of Y'all Sweet and it's on the Brenda Gantt channel.
Real ice tea is not from a big container. There are teabags specially made for iced tea. Also, there are plenty of tea drinkers in the US, including myself. Find these things out Kabir!!
2:25 i think the problem is Bounty is already a name brand here? for paper towels? i'm honestly not sure which came first though--
Iced tea is brewed with tea bags.
We use tea bags for sun ta. e fill a glass cntainse with water and th ea bas and let the sun sw br it. After a while the tea is is brought inside and poured over he ice. And we drink it.
Christmas was banned by the Puritans under the Commonwealth because of the holiday's association with drunken debauchery when good Christians should have been reading their Bibles quietly at home. That time is reflected in the Royalist song, "The World Turned Upside Down.". This was also the song played by British troops when they surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in 1783 during the American Revolution, a bit over a hundred years later.
First of all Bounty is the British knockoff name of the American candy bar Mounds. Almond Joy is simply a Mounds or Bounty in your case, with a couple of whole almonds added just underneath the chocolate. So that's the two reasons they are not called Bounty here in America. Because that is not their original name. And your Bounty doesn't have a version with almonds.
We don't call it Bounty because Mounds is the OG. Bounty is the copycat. The Almond Joy has almonds on it so unless you have a Bounty with almonds they're not the same candy bar.
You're forgetting that we were once upon a time a British colonized land so were a bunch of tea drinkers until we weren't. Iced tea in a bottle did not become a thing until 1983 and the US wasn't the first to manufacture it that way.
Switzerland
Ruedi Bärlocher and Martin Sprenger, two employees of the Swiss Bischofszell beverage company, had tried the famous American iced tea and first suggested to produce ready-made iced tea in bottles. In 1983, Bischofszell Food Ltd. became the first producer in the world of bottled ice tea on an industrial scale
So we most definitely have been using the tea bags as we know them today to make hot cups of tea and iced tea since 1944 when the shape and manufacturing of them changed. The ones for the 40+ years prior were either hand sewn sacks or later made from a tea bag packing machine that was invented in 1929 by (wait for it...) a German company and it's rumored that the loose tea inside was supposed to be taken out of the bag to be brewed and people found it easier to just leave them in because the bags were porous so made it easier, lol.
Almond Joy & Mounds were made by the Peter Paul co (later merged with Cadbury-Schweppes).
Bounty was a knockoff of Mounds made by the Mars inc. Two different companies making the.same candy bar.
Hershey now licenses Almond Joy & Mounds from Cadbury to sell in the U.S.
Mutiny on the Bounty, I’d rather eat an Almond Joy, almonds, chocolate and coconut bring joy, not mutinies or bounties .😂
No, we definitely use tea bags to make iced tea. We make tea the same way you do, and we either drink it hot or on ice. American iced tea is just plain tea on ice…our tea is no different than your tea. Put sugar in it, and you have sweet tea.
I think we just like inventing stuff, even when it's not that relevant to the majority of us.
Why do you think that iced tea isn't made using tea bags? It's only in a bottle when you buy it from the store or make it at home & then pour it into a bottle.
I hate iced tea that comes from a bottle. I make it at home.
"Why not call them bounty" he just said that Mounds came first, so Bounty is the knock off and would be the one that needs to change names. Christmas and Easter are both Pegan holidays that were appropriated into Christian holidays because the Pope wanted Christianity to be the world religion and Christian's had few if any holidays before the 1500's. This is why protestants fled because Christians extremist were a major problem. To this day there still are Christian and Islamic extremists that love to torment others. There are many groups but the KKK and ISIS are probably the most well known.
