When ordering coffee, what is the proper way to ask for sugar?

[Feltan]

To make it drinkable!

Baah!

Putting sugar in coffee to make it drinkable is like putting Tabasco sauce on Ice Cream to add flavor.

Ah, well a look on dictionary.com has no plural specification for either cream or sugar.

One creams another team and sugars the cake. Both are verbs when used with the 's'.

It might just be that the sloppy slang of 2 sugars should properly be "2 lumps/packets/containers/shots of sugar". Pluralise the containers, not the contents, so my grandmother used to say. Properly, two "cups of coffee" rather then two "coffees".

Interestingly, do you say, "I have two ice creams" or "I have two ice cream cones"?

Definitely weird.

Hmm... do you have two pair of pants or two pairs of pants... or two pants? I've always said "two pair of pants".

Well, to make an authentic Hawaiian Shaved Ice, you use boiled and sweetened azuki beans on top of the cream and under the shaved ice and syrup. Sounds strange, but tastes good enough to go back to Hawaii for...

"Hey, cutie, you did real good with the coffee. Now gimme some sugar."
