    That’s kind of disgusting. So southern style sweet tea is basically just tea flavored simple syrup?

      Yea, when my family did a trip down south, i asked for some sweet tea, thinking it was like Brisk, but i couldnt believe how sweet it was.

      if your drink is sweeter than pop, its… scary.

      Yes, yes it is. To be fair, what do you think soda is though?

        According to Wikipedia:

        it is not unusual to find sweet tea with a sugar level as high as 22 degrees Brix, or 22 g per 100 g of liquid, a level twice that of Coca-Cola."

        Coca-Cola already has a disgusting amount of sugar. The mere idea of this makes me queasy.

          Yeah, I don’t like my sweet tea like that, but I’ve been to people’s houses that it’s just diabetes in a glass.

      Depends on who makes it… McDonald’s, 7-11, and the like use about twice the amount of sugar that’s really necessary and it does not make it better.
