The Chinese also have a superstition about never drinking anything 'cold'. They have to boil everything first, which was definitely good in ancient times and in places with bad water purification; but it has also led to strange things in the modern era such serving Coke hot.
- fma 10y agoCoke isn't served hot in China. It's served without refrigeration. Same as Europe. I would also argue that boiling water still has its place in China. Not every country has the luxury of tap water that wouldn't kill you (except Flint...). Even if the Chinese have a preference of cold vs warm water, they prefer warm.
