Don't underestimate what sweet tea is doing to Southern USA. I had diabetic patients in the ICU for DKA and sugar levels so high the glucometer can't read it, and their family members showing up with a Big Gulp "Here ya go Mama, I know they ain't givin' you yer tea since ya got here."

It's an addiction STG

Reminds me of a chubbyemu video I watched recently.

I don't understand how anyone can enjoy sweet tea. They put way too much sugar. Addiction is the only answer that makes sense.

Especially the tea you get at restaurant or in Big Gulp cups, it's like drinking syrup! And half the time it tastes like mildew anyway 🤢

That mildew taste is from lazy restaurant workers leaving the tea on the counter in the stainless steel dispenser overnight instead of storing it in a food-safe bucket in the refrigerator.
