'Merica

Not the harbour bit but the kettle bit.

I have a kettle...

I do as well.

My mom bought a kettle. It's decorative, never used, and I think is currently in the garage (which, btw, is GARRage, not GAYrage)

Which in todays currency would have cost hundreds of thousands of £.

And we don't drink tea usually.

I use them for sore throats

I use them to raise the sea level

You'll get air bubbles in the microwaved tea bag which will screw up the taste of the tea. Also you're cooking the teabag which will screw up the taste of the tea. It's okay if that's what you're used to but try it with stove boiled water and you'll taste the difference. Like I say it's cool if you don't like that non-microwaved taste but it's a different way.

Did you just hash tag in a comment???
