The tea is hot as British people mock a story the New York Times did about electric kettles.
The story, titled “The Best Electric Kettle,” was widely shared on Wednesday by British social media users, who poked fun at the idea of the outlet discovering the kettle as a new device previously unheard of. The original title of the story, published Friday, was “A swift and easy way to heat water without using a stove.”
