Tea gone Missouri

Everyone's heard of tea, right? British people love it. They eat it with their crumpets while they talk about the Industrial Revolution and the knights and fiefdoms and whatever else. Not Missouri. In fact what Missouri did was mix tea with something British people absolutely hate - ice. (It's a fact, British people hate ice, always have). The result came about in the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair - iced tea. The ultimate slap in the face to Britain, the queen and King Arthur. It was Missouri's way of keeping British tourists from filling our state with self-satisfied and pompous talk.
