I can remember in high school not being able to get iced coffee anywhere but RI. I graduated in 95.

As you know Bob, my mother is from Rhode Island, and I grew up drinking coffee milk -- with or without Autocrat (without, it was just a quarter coffee/three-quarters milk).
When did you start drinking it?
At least 20 years ago. I mean, I just made it at home. I don't really remember the first time I got it in a Starbucks or other coffee place.
Beverages are like revenge; best served cold.
Even in Florida I drink hot coffee and tea. I like hot drinks, and food for that matter. Make soup 12 months a year.
I think my first encounter with the concept of iced coffee was a Vietnamese restaurant
In RI and parts of MA people drink iced coffee all year long.
Real coffee lovers sip it at room temperature a teaspoon at a time, aspirating each mouthful to fully experience the flavor.
Just sayin
I used to only drink iced coffee in summer, starting maybe 20 years ago, but I've been drinking it year round pretty consistently for 12 or do years.
I prefer both coffee and tea iced and unsweetened, but I need some sort of milk product in my coffee.
