In case you didn't know, Italians have VERY strict cultural rules.

For example, you cannot leave the house with wet hair or else you will get sick and die.

Secondly, pasta is sacred and you will be DEALT WITH if you break it in half.

And thirdly and most obviously, there is absolutely NO pineapple on pizza.

But there's another rule nearly all Italians follow that will get you strange looks in Italy if you break it: you cannot have a cappuccino after lunch.

If you order a cappuccino in Italy after noon they will look at you like you are a rabid animal.

I've always wondered *why* this was a thing, and now one of my favorite people on Instagram, the Pasta Queen, has finally answered this.

She posted this video explaining why cappuccinos are inappropriate after 12:

First and foremost, she says it's a breakfast drink.

"It's coffee, it's frothed milk. It's good to awaken your senses before 10, if you really want to push it to 11, but not after 12," she says.

Her second reason is you don't need a big ol' cup of milk with another meal.

"When you're eating a meal you have enough going on with all of those great calories and the cheeses. All you need is a quick espresso," she pleads.

Lastly and most importantly, she says: "It's like an American having a hot dog for breakfast."

Honestly, she has a point! See you in the comments!
