A type of soda which is pretty popular in Germany.
It's made from mate-tea

>> No.9171052

It's really popular among computer hackers, apparently. I keep thinking about ordering some but it's really expensive to get in the US because of shipping and shit.

>> No.9172023

Im guessing it is an acquired taste, but to me it tastes like carbonated bitter tea, which it is.

I literally live in a mate drinking society, and people usually carry hot water to drink it.
But for a cold drink I prefer guaraná soda.

No, mate. What is Mate?

It's pretty shit, the pomegranate one is decent though.

I love regular mate, as it is much healthier than coffee, and has a ritual to it. Although people in eastern europe look at it and go "woah, the fuck is this?", so I rarely use it outside of home/office.

I keep getting these fucking weird cups and metal straws as gifts from my BR relatives. What the fuck is this and how do I use it. I thought it was some sort of drug originally but from what I'm seeing here it's like tea?

Should i get yerba-mate or is it a meme? I'll see if i can get some when i go to the store.

I drink this nearly everday and lots of students drink it in my area (Norhern Germany).
It's the best way to get some caffeine you're studying in the library and can't take coffee with you.

Eat a dick, moron, you know what I mean. Meme has become a coloquialism for something that's popular but is actually relatively low quality compared to the amount of attention it recieves. That's how language works, fucking deal with it.

it's a great coffee substitute
just make sure you're buying originally packaged south-americna brands or else you're probably getting ripped off

It's just strong tea..... I prefer coffee with milk for the same effect.

>>9172884
except it's not the same effect at all unless you use teabag mate
