“Black. Only women put cream and sugar in coffee.”
**
Never put sugar in my coffee for the past 20 years. Always black. I actually thought coffee drinkers who need sugar were fags.
I usually just carry around my Thermos with black Folger’s in it. Living in the land of Starbucks I am an outcast. I recall when I first moved out to New Jersey and bought a cup of coffee at a diner (to go). The gal asked “Regular”? and I replied “yeah”.
She handed it to me in a to-go cup with a lid. I took a sip and almost gagged and spit it out. I turned around and said “I wanted regular - this has cream and sugar in it!”
She looked at me funny and said “That IS Regular”!
I said no - I want just plain, regular, black coffee.
“Well, here in New Jersey regular has cream and sugar.”
I don’t recall if I had to pay for my black coffee or not!
I’m drinking Barista Prima Italian Roast from our Keurig with French Vanilla creamer and Splenda in it. I guess I’d better go tell my wife of 25 years that I’m light in the loafers, or possibly a woman.
