| En Uruguay, el mate es un simbolo de amistad y es algo tan arraigado que forma parte de nuestra identidad oriental. ... Mate is a symbol of friendship, part of our Identity in Uruguay.. In Uruguay there is even a national law that prohibits drinking mate while driving, because it caused many accidents of people getting scalded with hot water while driving. For the same reason, there is also a "forbidden to drink mate" sign in all public transportation buses. In URUGUAY and in the northeast of Argentina it is not uncommon to see people walking around the streets toting a mate and a THERMOS with hot water. In Uruguay’s capital Montevideo it is possible to see some construction worker drinking mate while riding his bicycle early in the morning, on his way to work. In some parts, gas stations provide free hot water to travellers, specifically for the purpose of drinking during the journey. There are disposable mate sets with a plastic mate and Bombilla and sets with a thermos flask and stacking containers for the yerba and sugar inside a fitted case.
