In 37 years of life here in the South, I've had a hard time figuring out
some of the terminology, but I think I've got a handle on why they call
it "sweet tea," instead of just "iced tea."

Good Lord, a person could get diabetes drinking this stuff!

Sweet tea is sugar with a little tea added. I like my iced tea (which I
drink year 'round; I don't do coffee) with NO sugar, so I have had a
hard life, lol, trying to find bottled tea at convenience stores, etc.,
w/no sugar, much less this sweet tea sh*t! MJ

Yup, straight-up ice tea in the South is a hard commodity to come by.
By the way JeanC, nice tatoo!

Tigerman, the LAST thing I need to drink is coffee.

The tea I'm speaking about in this thread is actually the new Mango
whatever tea from Sonic. It's so sweet it's disgusting!

I remember the first time I ordered tea in the Soutth and it was sweet
tea and I almost gagged, I hate sweet drinks. I like strong black
coffee or espresso, or just plain old green tea, no sugar added. I like
to save my sugar for my chocolate attacks... :)

In GA tea is sweet and iced unless you specify otherwise. And the sugar
is added when the tea is still hot. It doesn't taste the same if you add
the sugar later.

I'm not a fan of iced tea that much, but if I do drink it, I usually
have to make it. I like it somewhat strong, and a bit sweet, but not
like the tea-flavored sugarwater they make here.

Yeah, GAMail and that's how it should be. If you want your tea
unsweetened, you should just say "unsweetened." but no need to refer to
it as "sweet tea," IMO.

That's like saying "ink pen." LOL.

People here in the South refer to iced tea as "sweet tea." Unless they
order it without sugar, in which case they'll say "unswetened tea."

And there's a reason they call it "sweet tea," I've found. "Sweet" isn't
the word for it. They should call it "Diabetic Demon" or something like
that.
