94Packer Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I actually have 2 questions 1. How far does the love of sweet tea extend. We love it in the southeast but have heard it’s not as common in other parts of the US. What about where your at? 2. If everyone’s mamma makes the best sweet tea. Does anyone’s mamma just make horrible tea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone’s mamma just make horrible tea? It's definitely a regional thing. I spent a week out west without it, which really cramped my style. Adding sugar to unsweetened tea just doesn't cut it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletrain06 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I like a good glass of sweet tea on rare occasion, but generally try to stay away from sugary drinks Really the only things I drink are water and beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole growing up I never knew what real sweet tea was. Poor me. I think about that tea every now and then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu1128 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I honestly love the south. It’s one of my favorite places on earth. That said, being looked at like I have 4 heads every time I ask for UNsweet tea or trying to find a Diet Pepsi is a deduction on every scorecard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCBlackhatter Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 You can't beat a glass of orange pekoe tea with 3-4 cups of sugar per gallon. If your tea doesn't turn to syrup after a week in the fridge, then you're not doing something right. Lol Bring it on diabetes! I ain't scairt!! 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree, asking for unsweet tea in the south is sacrilegious......but in the hot summer, unsweet tea is so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbcaptiron Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Count me in with the UN-sweet crowd....way better, especially when hot out. Although have been known to drink the peach or raspberry teas from Wawa...better than just sugared ones (or low grade corn syrup shit) Now Wawa is the religion around these parts.....tea and coffee Coffee on the other hand is like 50/50 with Irish cream.....

Once the seed is planted it will grow faster than any seed you have ever seen.....with 5 on every corner LOL Seriously that map is so bogus ^^^^ there's like 4-5 times that many There is a reason for this, but I will say the last 24 months or so they really seem to be slipping on (entre etc.) sizing and such...getting cheaper 10 years ago (when they were competing with like 'Heritage Farms' ) you could not even compare them to fast food (Wendy's etc) because they would blow shit like that out of the water....now? ...meh Pa supposedly has a real good gas/food chain called 'Royal Farms' that's seen Wawa slip on quality, and they are going to take their shot here in the S.Jersey homeland....putting the first one up closeby now, and I'll be one of the first to check it here...will let you know...
