I keep some in my fridge almost constantly. All my friends now know there is no such thing as just plain tea at my place. It is sweet tea or nothing. (Ok, I do server cold water) I will admit I've cut back to just one tea spoon (not teaspoon) of sugar instead of two. I always love going home and seeing "sweetea" on the menu's.

I went to school in Michigan but I distinctly remember my fraternity brother from Tennessee, who called every soft drink "Coke," and the girl from Louisville who did the same thing. My friends from Nawlins and Jackson nrever call it "Coke" when it's Sprite or Root Beer or "Dew." I know what you mean about getting the wrong thing at the drive-thru. How come I can never get a hamburger (that's not "cheeseburger") when I stop, on rare occasion, at the Wendy's drive-thru? And I never remember to check before I drive away, because if I'm driving thru a Wendy's, I must be in a hurry and desparate. Incidentally, the only thing worse than sweetea is "diet" sweetea.

You do that yourself with table sugar or splenda. At least that's how it is in California. Never liked the stuff. I drink diet coke or diet Dr pepper. and I'm sure you give a rat's ass.

We lived in a fifth-wheel travel trailer for five years (yep, that's us--trailer trash!). Every time it would rain, we'd head for the bedroom. The trailer had an aluminum roof------HEAVEN!!!

I'm getting the vapors! I cannot find any decent sweetea here in Houston, with the exception of two restaurants. Sometimes I don't even want the food they serve, but I'll suffer through for some good ol' fashioned sweetea. NO LEMON. Never any lemon. Go back up North, you Yankee bastard*. *Please note the hidden humor, Yankee bastard. Oh, goodness…. I’m getting the vapors!

Is sweetea the same as iced tea or are you referring to the kind you steep in a teapot? The former I drink sweetened, and with a lemon wedge on the side. When I make my own I infuse the whole pitcher with fresh mint leaves. Here you can get regular or diet iced tea but both are sweet, although one uses some kind of diet sugar. I’m confused.

My boyfriend bought me an iced tea maker, and I constantly say, "For being the most stupid invention ever made, I LOVE IT!" He knows me. Tea goes on top (I use green) and any additional stuff (lemon, and a squirt of honey is my recipe - once a teaspoon of instant coffee [it was actually okay], but I don't drink coffee), you fill the body of the contraption with water; You turn it on; the water heats and goes up a spout into the tea area, it steeps in that chamber, and then slowly empties into a pitcher of ice you have waiting. You barely have to clean anything. I LOVE IT! It's actually called a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker. BTW, Boston Market (chain up north only?) has unsweetened tea as an option at their self serve soda thingy. Right now a glass of cabernet and I'm waiting for cleaning solution to do its weekly job on the bathtub. I love iced tea!

Your taste buds are correct. stick to the natural stuff. One additional thought Tony; isn’t sweet tea what they push right before
CNBC, et. al., arrests you for being a PERVE.

Your taste buds are correct. stick to the natural stuff.
