    Do you really think that Sweden, Germany and UK is all the world there is? I’ve got a surprise for you.

      I get the sneaking suspicion you enjoy being contrarian for contradictions sake.

      Yes. About 2/3rd of the worldwide population is lactose-intolerant. Hence, it is really common to ask for lactose-free products.

        That’s a myth really. Lactose intolerant don’t drink lattes in the first place. But they might not be that intolerant in the first place

        Most of the lactose-intolerant population isn’t asking for lattes for the simple reason that their cuisine doesn’t use dairy at all.

        Also FWIW Italy is quite lactose-intolerant. It’s why you hear things like “no cappuccino after noon” and stuff, many Italians don’t vibe well with more than one of those things.

          It’s not extremely rare. Many native south europeans are lactose intolerant, too (I don’t remember the exact numbers but IIRC it was the majority in places like southern Italy) and there’s lots of people from other continents in Europe nowadays.
