America No Rule

My old local coffee shop used to sell Canadianos as an Americano with an added 1oz shot of maple syrup. Lovely.
Yea, that’s what a Canadiano is here, a machiatonwith a bit of maple syrup
They’re called americanos because the Italians (or perhaps the Spaniards according to some sources, the etymology is unclear) were making fun of Americans for drinking weak coffee. Much like we’ve historically made fun of them for drinking weak beer.
I say we continue calling them americanos.
Wait, there is beer weaker than American beer?
That’s as cringy as when some Americans started calling French fries “freedom fries”.
I… Sorta agree? But at least the Americano is actually named after America, while to french is just a way of cooking.
Who thought it was a bright idea to fuck with the pettiest country on earth? 😂
Gotta check where my local coffee shop stands on this matter.
