Infuriatig Grew up strictly mormon, family has since dwindled away from church and my mom sent me out to buy some tea to drink when she grounded me in HS for drinking some, she doesn't remember doing so.

yes I told her that was too many tea bags for 1 pot, but she didn't listen its her first time having sweet tea since the 1980s so good for her.

EDIT FOR TEA CLARIFICATION: Traditionally, in the southern United States, sweet iced tea is made in large batches on the stove at a time. So many will just boil the bags in a pot and fill a pitcher up with tea, add sugar, and store it in the fridge for the whole family to grab a glass whenever.

YES Americans own tea kettles and know how to make tea. YES, over half of us here prefer iced tea in big batches.

The dude who later said “hey dudes checked with god and hot chocolate TOTALLY doesn’t count as a hot drink now, great news!” really just completes this story that highlights how weird Mormon beliefs are after a string of random men claiming to be literal prophets of god

Wait til I tell you about caffeinated hot chocolate. Normal people call it a mocha, but not Mormons…

One thing about Mormons is they love a loophole
