In the South you used to (and still do) have the following three meals a day:
Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
In the North, however…
Breakfast, dinner, tea.
In the South, we sometimes have “breakfast, dinner, supper” (especially in rural areas; city folks are more likely to have “breakfast, lunch, dinner”) and our tea definitely has ice and a fuckton of sugar in it.
Maybe it’s a culture thing, but that comes across as a wildly patronising comment from someone who just wandered into a conversation about “not the US” and started talking about the US.
Yeah as someone that’s a Yankee to both of them, it’s rude as hell here to be an ass in response to a polite correction to something you probably should have noticed.
There’s a thing about any conversation online being interrupted by Americans making it about themselves and saying some incredibly patronising things… And that phrase is really only ever heard as that here.
But I see this might not be the case, so I apologise for my hostility there.

Are we both talking about the UK here?
Ice and sugar in tea feels distinctly not British at all.
Bless your heart. 😉

It’s not a cultural thing, it is universally unhinged

It was meant to be a tongue-and-cheek confirmation that, yes, I was joking about the American south.
It didn’t land well.
Ok, then I’m sorry.

If my joke doesn’t land that’s my fault, not yours.
