Going on the Legend soon. So they have unsweet tea and coke zero?

 

Clearly from the south. The don't have sweet tea on the ships. :)

 

To those of you wondering about sweet tea, if you are not in the southeast corner of the country you don't realize that all tea comes full of sugar unless you ask for it to come unsweetened. Its a regional thing, and I promise you that calling it sweet is understating how much sugar is in it. It is more like can I have a splash of tea with my sugar.

Unless you are from the Southeastern US few people realize there are three types of tea (in order of sweetness): unsweet tea, sweet tea, and Southern tea.

You can not just add a packet or two of sugar and make

sweet tea , The sugar (by the cup) has to be add while the

tea is still hot , mixed real good , and only then is it fit to be

served as sweet tea , . In the south it's about 2 to 3 cups

of sugar per gallon

This is true and how real Southern tea is made, but this born and raised Southern girl only uses 1 1/4 cup of sugar per gallon of tea :-)

and probably the reason I do not like sweet tea, or whatever name it is called.
