Just remembered something funny:
The same (das gleiche) and the same (das selbe) aren't the same! Ok, some smurf changed that some years ago, because it was to difficult for him, but I still think it's wrong.
For example: you have a blue cup with a flower printed on and another one that looks exactly like it. It's the same cup (die gleiche tasse) because they are same size and print. But at the same time it's not the same (die selbe tasse), because it's just a copy. Two people can't drink from the same cup at the same time. But two people can drinks from alike cups at the same time.

Of course, cool it down, add some vanilla ice cream, add straws... whats wrong with that?

Also its more about you could not necessarily that you should.

[Sweety-Sama]

But that's not hot anymore!

True, but the original challenge said nothing about hot. Besides between hot 333K and ice-cold 277k is only a temperature difference of 17%, they are basically the same

Hence the word usually. It mostly is sweet but not always.
But when it comes to no sugar you are wrong. Maybe you have only little glucose but no sugar even deoxy-ribose, mannose etc. I doubt that after all coffee used to be alive and everything alive has glycosylated proteins, DNA etc. Also you have milk which is the #1 source of galactose.

Don't be a glucosist accept all the sugars in your iced-coffee. Love the sugars no matter how many carbon atoms they have, after all pentoses are sugars too.

P.S.: Sorry today I can't take anything serious

[ducttapetech]

Don't have milk or creamer in mine either. Just coffee then iced. Mmmmmm.
I love suger! Just can't have much of it saddly.

[Sweety-Sama]

Sugar and a lot of milk in mine. But no coffee cream! I hate that taste!

[Sneider]

No sugar! But real milk from real cows that eat grass! With a lot of genuine milk fat! Not this synthetic liquid from the supermarket.

And to the  language topic ​​I just say:
I understand all languages ​​- but I do not know what it means.

Norwegian - English

Fart - Speed
Smell - Bang

It just occured to me to mention that "pay" sounds exactly like the plural for p.e.n.i.s in greek. Also, "via" means violence in greek.

Funny thing, how a sound may have completely different meanings in different linquistic environments. Sorry if I ruined it for you 

(Yay, it's payday!)
