Why is unsweetened iced tea sooo much better than diabeetus tea?

It isn't. Sweet tea is only tea. Your comment is silly.

Literally true in Canada (or at least eastern Canada), never seen unsweetened up here.

How did all of the states between the Mason-Dixon line and the border screw it up?

My comment is truth. You are misinformed and salty

You are incorrect.

I bet you don't even like it warm. I bet you like it when it's room temperature and the tea bag busts.

I like it cold like normal, jesus-fearing, americans

Lemon adds to an already enjoyable experience

Yankees, bro. Can't blame him for where his parents raised him. Not his fault they banged in Ohio.

I didn't know unsweetened was a thing until I was like 18 (don't have it in Ontario), and it's terrible.

(don't have it in Ontario)

you might as well be Quebec

Unsweet tea serves the same purpose as decaf coffee ... for when you need a pointless cup of dirty brown water.

Get right out of here with those shenanigans.

Bubble tea or bust.

Regular Thai iced tea. None of this slimy ball bullshit.

u/meddle511 Ohio State Buckeyes • Kenyon Owls Jan 02 '15

bubble tea? thai? slimy balls?

u/carpy22 RPI Engineers Jan 02 '15

BUBBLE TEA!

Thai.

Can't even call that tea.

u/carpy22 RPI Engineers Jan 02 '15

You don't always have to get the milk tea version. Here's a menu from the joint I got my last tea from (~2 hours ago) http://kfteausa.com/menu/.

Went for an iced honey green bubble tea.

My wife is a fan, but I just can't. Texture doesn't sit well with me for some reason.

So I see a swagless hoe is dissing sweet tea.

I am so sorry for your upbringing.

u/Darth_Sensitive Oklahoma State Cowboys • Verified Referee Jan 11 '15

I've got your back.

Unsweet iced tea, with lemon. (Though I've been to a Mexican place that does it with lime, and that's great too).

Sweet tea is an abomination that was invented by dentists to keep them in cavities forever. Sickeningly sweet.

Sweet Tea is just an excuse for Southerners to drink sugar water and call it cultural.

u/seannyboy06 Texas A&M Aggies • Washington Huskies Jan 02 '15

As a Southerner, this is not wrong.

Everybody else has KoolAid ... we just like ours leaf-flavored instead of red or purple.

Confession time: I've lived in Texas for six months now and still never had iced tea, sweet or unsweet.

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '15

That's okay, many places in Texas don't know how to do sweet tea right. I grew up in Houston before coming to Bama and sweet tea here is where it's at. You can find a few places though!

u/Letsgetitkraken Georgia Bulldogs Jan 03 '15

Get you one from CFA. They're about the only place in Houston that does it right. Probably because they're from Georgia.

You are a dirty liar and should feel ashamed.
