Y'all are most definitely yankees -- I can tell because by default, your tea isn't sweetened.

I think of Yankee as 'puritanical English' whereas Wisconsin and Minnesota are mostly 'German and Northern European protestants.'

Growing up in Milwaukee, I didn't know anyone who drank tea, outside of occasional yum cha (dim sum) in Chicago. We drank beer instead.

You're the first person I've seen on here mention they are from Milwaukee!

That's because the tea in those states is beer.

Oh, but the beer in the South is moonshine.
