I do get strange reactions if I ask for an ice cube to cool it down.

I've taken to not watching TV any more, mostly because there's nothing
decent on, but also partly because watching adverts is like going on a
bad acid trip. Talking fish, dancing telephones, flying cars, dogs
playing bingo, and even an aristocrat meercat. No, I don't believe
everything I see in adverts. But I think they accurately reflect local
culture. ;-)
Try another: Go to any place in the UK that sells tea, and see whether
it comes with a pot of milk. I rest my case.

What *I* find strange is that my dad buys "milk" that's made from a
*plant*, and has to be *shaken* before you drink it. That's just wrong...

The only shows I watch are "Bones" and "Big Bang Theory". I think that
probably tells you something about me. :-)

I get "focus follows gaze"?

Ah yes, boy beans. You can make it into meat, milk, butter, bread, and
packaging materials. What the hell *is* this stuff?!

And what would you know about an acid trip, bad or otherwise?

I quite like soy milk.
IIRC there was an Australian who invented a device/process that produced
marmite/vegemite and milk powder from grass cuttings.
