They've always offered iced tea but it's always been unsweetened and you have to put your own sugar in it. Isn't sweet tea just tea already sweetened with sugar? They're acting as though it's the 8th wonder of the world.

Rep Power: 1 | Okay now we get McDonald's, what next ! and why and who in their right mind would use a lady known for semi homemade to endorse southern cooking if that what you want to call that ? why not use a southern cook oh wait that means that you would really have to cook. some things just do not fry, in my book. And sweet tea, my nana put sugar in her tea and believe me she was born and raised in the north, sweet is just not a southern thing but will agree more so south than north, but to put that in a company that is world wide what next ? |

Rep Power: 1 | bakerman is from Maine, but relocated to NC. (I remember because my mom is from Maine) (bakerman, told her you knew the Governor's)
We have sweet tea here. Unable to get regular ice tea (atleast I have not seen it, but maybe it is beacause I am reading the wine list  ) Although, when we were in NYC at The American Girl Place, I drank unsweetened ice tea! It was good. Had not had it before. In England, they have not heard of iced tea.

Or is it like the fountain stuff, like lipton this stuff tastes completely different, it is very rare to find fountain iced tea here.
I do miss the governor's! Where else can you get a slice of cake as big as your head! Oh and whoopie pies, I miss those, haven't found a great recipe for those yet, my mom's recipe is just OK.

Rep Power: 10 | People from UK think our Earl Grey is air freshner!!! We have friends there and they say people in the States, have no idea what 'real' tea is suppose to taste like. I would have to agree. We have so many flavors that they don't really taste like tea at all. I grew up on Lipton's but only had it when I was sick. It was the Chicken Soup of the 50's.
