Okay I have met plenty of people who are not from the South east of the United States. I have never met anyone who didn't know what sweet tea was. Do people really make sweet ice tea by mixing in the sugar after it's served? And even if they do it really can't be that confusing of a thing for the sugar to be dissolved when the tea is still hot. This description of sweet tea just annoys me. #seriouslycomeon #itsnotmagic
tpixie I'm from Kansas. Sweet Tea is never made here. Except just recently it is at McDonalds - within the last 5 years. The only way to sweeten tea is to put sugar in it afterwards. You have to go to 'the South' to get sweet tea. (edited) 7y
tpixie I know how it's made. But I could see how someone might not, since No one makes it here I could see if you're from the South you'd go ' duh'. 7y
Vexingcircumstance I mean I have met lots of people not from the South, though. I even have family not from here and have literally never heard anyone be confused by sweet tea. @tpixie 7y
tpixie Yes, we'd never call it sweet tea. We call it sweetened tea- when u add sugar afterwards. Regional things are interesting! 7y
Vexingcircumstance @tpixie well apparently everyone I've met has read a lot of southern fiction or something because no one has ever called it that to me or around me. Not even when I visited my best friend in Chicago. I mean, southern themed places in cities even serve sweet tea cold and already with sugar dissolved in it. 7y
