So I have learned something new that I found intriguing and decided to share.
Here in Spain, if someone offers you something (food, gum, drink, etc.), it is expected that you say "no", even if you really do want the item. If you accept the item initially it's considered to be rude. Thus, you must say no to the initial ask and then wait for them to ask you again (which they will do). This time if you really want to accept the item, you can.
...you know. In case any of you are traveling to Spain anytime soon.
