why "sweet´n´lo"?
Hi guys. I was watching this "Friends" tv show. And somebody says "sweet´n'lo" when ask for a coffee (de-caff).
So, I understand the meaning. But, imagine that you are in a cefeteria and you ask for a coffee, then you are talking to your Friends and the waiter give you that coffee and you ask: sweet´n´lo?...Why would you say that?

tHANKSSSSSSSS :D
