Brown or White Sugar With Tea/Coffee? (Bovril?)

    Every time I go to get a cup of tea or coffee somewhere there is always mountains of brown sugar, and generally less white sugar than brown sugar (as people are actually using white sugar).

    Just wondering if there are actually people out there who use brown sugar in their tea/coffee/bovril.
    Because I have never actually come across anyone who took brown sugar in their drink.

    The brown sugar consumers are like the Freemasons. You're probably sitting beside one right now but you'd never know until you see them naked and look for the tattoo of a sugar cube.

    Sugar in Bovril? Are you nuts?!

    I just put that in there for the Bovril minority.

    Clearly nobody would put sugar in Bovril, I just wanted to recognise the group.

    Are you not meant to put white sugar in tea and brown in coffee?

    White sugar for tea, brown sugar for cakes!

    Also: Why the hell do coffee drinkers use the same spoon for sugar as they use for scooping out coffee grinds? I HATE getting flecks of Nescafe in my tea! :mad:

    Hey, don't blame me.
    Blame John Lawson Johnston, the creator of Bovril, for making it so damn tasty.

    It's live on Sky News as we speak (which probably means you're safe :D)

    Now stop messing with the Bovril!

    It can't get enough advertising as far as I'm concerned.

    I only eat raw sugar.
    White sugar is posionous and one of the most addictive substances around and is ubiquitous in our diet with many forms of sugar delivery systems from fizzy drink to chocolate to sweets to bread to beans etc. (brown sugar is usually just white sugar with mollasses added to fool people they're consuming a healthier option).
    It has absolutely no nutritional value, addicts only taking it for the kick it gives, and profits only the manufacturers because of it's longer shelf life and only serves to cost society with the damage it causes to peoples health.
    Disgusting.

    Christ. Sounds like you are talking about heroin :P

    I add white sugar to my tea and to the odd bowl of cereal I eat. I don't think that is going to kill anybody.

    Like everything, too much of it is obviously bad, which is what that article mainly talks about, from what I can see.
