US Southern Slang

Everyone has their preferred way of drinking coffee. Maybe you like yours black, or maybe you prefer a bit of sugar in it.

But have you ever tried drinking coffee with salt?

Adding a pinch of salt to your cup of coffee is said to make it taste less bitter.

And putting salt in coffee isn't new. In some countries, such as Turkey and Hungary, people have done this for years.

But a cafe in Vietnam is believed to have started the newest trend — salt coffee.

It's a little different from just putting salt in your coffee, though. Salt coffee is said to have come from a small cafe in Hue ("hwEH"), a city in central Vietnam.

The cafe's name, Ca Phe Muoi, is also the name of the drink, since ca phe means "coffee" and muoi means "salt" in Vietnamese.

Salt coffee is made by mixing sweet condensed milk with a base of Vietnamese coffee, and adding salted cream to the top.

The cafe's owners hoped this unique drink would bring in more customers, and it did.

"In Hue, salt coffee became a daily drink like black coffee or white coffee," the cafe's owners told CNN Travel in June.

And it wasn't just in Hue where people fell in love with salt coffee — the cafe's website sells bottles of it to send around the country, and now Starbucks even sells its own version of salt coffee.

Vietnam is one of the world's largest coffee growers, and has a rich coffee culture.

Salt coffee is just one of many unique Vietnamese coffee drinks.

Others include egg coffee (which has a topping of egg yolks and condensed milk), coconut coffee, and yogurt coffee.

Salt Coffee: A Sweet Drink from Vietnam

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
