America No Rule
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.
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
Who thought it was a bright idea to fuck with the pettiest country on earth? 😂
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?
Mexican beer for one
I meant that we make fun of Americans for their weak beer, sorry if that wasn't clear!
Gotta check where my local coffee shop stands on this matter.
