"How about you?" or "What about you?"

Hi: Could you tell me if there is any difference between how about you and what about you.

Thank you.

I'd say they mean the same. There may be some subtle difference, but it must be very subtle indeed.

Hi Giovanni,

These questions are put when someone is asking for your opinion as in: Personally I can't stand tea without milk. What about you/How about you?
