It was undrinkable. It was frankly disgusting. It was, without doubt, the single worst iced tea I've ever had in my life. Supposedly it's a southern thing. What the hell are they thinking? It's sugar with a few drops of water and some ice. I swear it was actually thick, like a syrup. Just give me a bag of sugar, man; it's the same thing.
I don't understand this fascination with adding sugar to iced tea. It's TEA, man - if you don't want to taste it, why are you drinking it? Ideally I try to find unsweetened tea, although I know that's usually too much to ask in this country. We make it at home when we can, though. Yes, I actually like tea, not sugar. I tasted no tea at all in this McDonald's "drink".
I immediately poured it out and refilled my cup with seltzer from the soda machine at work.
Maybe this stuff will fly in the south, but it ain't gonna sell up here.
Fast food makes me sad. They ruin all that is good by overloading everything with salt and sugar (and other "unknown" ingredients). Yeah... I had no idea McDonalds made sweet tea. My dad comes from Mississippi and he loves that stuff. I personally used to like it when I was little and addicted to sugar. I've changed and now I drink tea and coffee in their "naked" forms.
