The Great Transfer - Tea

So, I've been told that there are two kinds of tea drinkers; MIFs (Milk in First) and TIFs (Tea in First).

The TIFs are the established order; an ancient regime which has long held sway over their tea drinking subjects. The TIFs have order, history, prestige and protocol. They dictate to all how they must drink their tea, saying that all who do so must put the tea bags in before the milk.

There are, however, counter-revolutionaries; the MIFs. This band of tea drinkers threw off the shackles of oppression and decided to do things as they wanted. They put their milk in before the water and don't care who knows.

The sad thing is that being a MIF or a TIF is a hereditary custom, passed down from parent to child. These two warring factions are alike in all but tea preferences. Yet still, a secret war wages between them on the streets of the world.

At least, that's how I understood it...
