It was a wee joke about non-US spellings being wrong and weird.
My wife (British -> U.S. immigrant) is quite adamant that 110v American voltage just isn’t quick enough on the electric kettle compared to 220v British. I tell her she’s got watched pot syndrome, but she’s convinced this is just one more sign of America’s lack of civilization.
This was dealt with at some length in the semi-notorious Egg Cup thread in CS. UK electric kettles draw a fair bit more power than their US equivalents.
in the us when making instant cocoa you use hot water
we only add milk when using syrup or something like nestle quik
Although theres an excellent cocoa on the back of the hersheys baking cocoa container that uses milk and other things … …
it was supposed to say cocoa recipe …
Yes! On snow days when I was a kid, after bro and I played in the snow, we’d come in and Mom would be making real hot chocolate in a saucepan, with milk, Hershey’s cocoa powder, and whatever other magic it called for. She’d butter white bread and fold it so that you could dip the bread in the cocoa and the butter would melt. Memories!!
American here, if I wanted an electric kettle I’d probably have to get it online.
Likely could get one at WallyWorld; the local one here has them. :rolleyes:
