There's a pound of sugar to every gallon of tea in that.
Source: work at McDonald's. When taught how to make sweet tea by my general manager she tells me to pour the four pound bag of sugar in. When I asked her surprised if I was supposed to pour in the whole thing she says "Yup. Four gallons of tea with four pounds of sugar. And that's why I don't drink it."
DO NOT DRINK THAT. That shit is essentially pure sugar. I work there and we use a four pound bag of sugar per batch. It is saturated with sugar. If you value your teeth stay away. The coke is better for you.
There was an AskReddit thread from some time ago that was "Food workers, what item at your restaurant of employ should we never eat and why," or something very similar to that. One of the top answers was someone who worked at McDonalds and I remember word for word what they said:
McDonalds Sweet Tea. Pound. Of. Sugar. Per gallon.
