When my mom bought “half and half” it was half milk and half cream for her coffee. I clearly remember her buying that during her weekly grocery shopping trips. It was always a big deal to check how fresh it was, as she didn’t want it to spoil during the week and have to do without for a few days until she went grocery shopping again.
So, I was at the gas station today and decided to get a cold drink. They had some big cold cans of Arizona tea, and I saw a can called “Half and Half.” Made me think of my mom’s coffee. Turns out they are talking about half tea and half lemonade mixed together in the can. Not the half milk and half cream. So I decided to try it. It’s pretty good.
