Ha - I experienced exactly this. Had my first meeting in Buenos Aires (with a dev shop). 6 (or so) guys around the table. One guy drinking Mate. Mid-conversation, as if it's no big deal, another guy reaches over, grabs the drink, and starts sipping. Moments later another guy does the same.
As an American, it was really amusing.
- the_af 12y agoNote that, at least in the Argentinian custom, you do not simply reach over and grab the mate. You are in a round and get offered the mate by the guy pouring hot water in it. After you sip the water, you return the mate, the guy pours more hot water, and offers it to the next person in the round.
