Me and my brother were just noticing the way we stirred Nestea. I was counter-clockwise and he was stirring clockwise. He said I was stirring weird and stuff.. and I said he was.. big fight ensues.. etc.

Point is.. which way do you stir when its yuou make instant ice tea, chocolate milk, instant coffee, etc. and why?

Let's see if it has to do with orientation of the hand. I'm right handed, and I stir clockwise.

I can stir a drink in both direction, only way to truly make sure it's all stirred up ;)

another lefty who could stir only clockwise, counter-clockwise would feel rather awkward.
