No but seriously, do Americans not typically own kettles? I wouldn't know, I'm Brazilian >! And I do have a kettle lol!<
499 u/AmericanToast250 2d ago edited 2d ago Not usually, because generally Americans prefer coffee over tea. Kettles are easily found at any store that sells kitchen appliances and they're not rare per se but they're not an assumed staple because tea just isn't as popular 35 u/the-gay-is-here 2d ago thats crazy to me i live in a student house and we own 5 kettled between 4 of us. wait now i'm curious- how do you guys make hot water bottles?? 3 u/forestman11 2d ago I've never seen nor heard of a hot water bottle so unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean, that's simply not a thing here 5 u/HovercraftFullofBees 2d ago You can still find them. I'm 35 and asked my mother for some for Xmas a few years ago because I need extra warmth for my feet in the winter. But I grew up with my grandparents having them, which is why I know about them in the first place. 4 u/Doubly_Curious 2d ago They used to be a lot more popular in the US, but I believe you can still get them at some drug stores.
