Coffee vs Tea

Food & Dining

Less a taste test than a proxy for daily routine. A question phrased around habit tends to capture what someone drinks first in the morning, which is shaped by cultural default and availability rather than by any judgement about flavour.

Why the framing changes the answer

Wording carries a lot of weight here. "Which do you drink more often" measures habit and access; "which would you choose if both were equally good" measures preference. Those are different questions and should not be pooled into one number.

What segmentation reveals

Country is the split this pair is designed to be read by. A near-even global figure can conceal two lopsided regional ones, which is why a single headline percentage is the wrong output for a question shaped this strongly by locale.
