I grew up on sweet tea, but of course, it was just called TEA. Because, who drinks unsweetened tea??? But I've since become used to unsweetened tea, because of the zero calories, and now sweet tea from anywhere is UNBELIEVABLY sweet! Even if I get it half sweet and half unsweet its still too sweet. As for milk or creamer, I think that's a hot tea thing. Kath may not realize we're referring to strictly iced tea, as she's up there where its cold all the time! ;-)
I go through phases of liking Dr. Pepper, but I've never liked Diet DP. In fact, I hate all Diet sodas (or cokes, as they're all called here). But I like tea with artificial sweetener - go figure! Sometimes there's nothing like an iced tea with sugar and lemon though. Serve it up with a pot of beans, some fried potatoes and corn bread, and its nostalgia city!
