So, as I'm sitting here drinking a glass of tea I got to thinking, considering this board consists largely of Yankee's (aside from me, WiReS, and maybe a few others) how does everyone like their tea?
For me (rather stereotypically), it's fresh brewed with lots and lots of sugar. And lucky for me, there's almost always a pitcher of it in my refridgerator. Hardee's is good too, but it could do with more sugar.
Sweet Tea is liked iced tea, right? :P
Yeah, I like it with lots of sugar as well.
Yankees? I hope you know that means redneck (no, I'm serious). Anyway, I like Arizona Sweet Tea. It's nice.
I like my tea hot and dark. The darker the better.
I drink beer ???
I have suntea (lipton) occasionally, thats about it. No sugar added, not too dark.
I don't know what "Sweet Tea" is, but I used to drink a lot of Iced Tea (usually Nestea or similar). But now I'm into Ginger Ale or 7up.
I like my tea strong as long as it's cold, and with just enough sweetener (usually I use saccharin, because it dissolves really quickly) to take the edge off.

Sweet tea
is iced tea. Nestea is disgusting.
Close! Iced Tea doesn't need sugar, and AFAIK Sweet Tea doesn't use lemon.
True, Iced Tea is pre-sugared. But not all Iced Tea uses lemon.
I don't know about what you do there, but we don't use real tea-stuff here to make it, either. I've had iced-normal-tea before and I hated it, I only like the stuff that comes in powder or cans.
Any kind of Arizona Tea. I love Arizona Tea!!
Was it actually made in Arizona? Or is it like French Toast and made in New York?

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AriZona_Beverage_Company):
QuoteThe AriZona Beverage Company is a popular producer of various flavours of Iced Tea and Energy drinks from the United States, based in Lake Success, New York. The AriZona Beverage Company is a branch of Ferolito, Vultaggio & Sons, which started out as a beer brewery in New York City.
It was named in honor of the U.S. state of Arizona, On a whim from one of the founders wives. Supposedly, neither Ferolito or Vultaggio had visited Arizona prior to naming the company.
So yeah, New York is exactly right :P
People do some crazy stuff.
I've never had Az Tea, Nestea turned me off from already 'cooked' teas.
I spose I ought to try it sometime

Eh.. That's gay. Ooh well, it's still amazing no matter where it's from!
I don't understand why a person would drink canned or instant or premade or whatever you want to call it tea.

Lemon is acceptable but I don't like it in my tea.
Are the rumors true that if you're in the north and ask for a glass of tea they bring you unsweetened? Or if you ask for a glass of sweet tea (if they know what you're talking about) bring you a glass of unsweetended tea, a spoon, and sugar packets?

Because it tastes better. Sorry! :P

If you're here and you ask for tea, you'll generally get a glass (or tea-pot) of near-boiling water, a tea bag, sugar, and cream, and from there you build your tea yourself. Sometimes the restaurants put the tea-bag in the near-boiling water for you.
I thought it was really weird when we went to Florida and my stepmom asked for tea and they said, "hot or cold?" --- that's a concept that we don't have up here. It's either 'tea' or 'ice tea'.
Who orders hot tea? That is pretty whack.
Almost everybody here drinks hot tea. Like I said, that's the default mode, and a very common one.
I love hot tea! It's good :D

Where I am from in Missouri, they just ask you if you want Sweetened or Unsweetened tea.

When you ask for iced tea you're brought a glass of iced tea with a wedge of lemon. If the place is any kind of not-sucky, there will be a thingy of sugar, sweet & low, and [the pink ones] packets on the table.
It still sucks because sugar doesn't disolve properly in cold stuff, that's why the sugar is added after brewing. I usually use the sugar on the table to sweeten my sweet tea though because most restraunts can't get it right (like Dennys!)

Who drinks soda or pop, we all drink Coke
I drink Soda.
Mug != Coke
A&W != Coke
Barq's != Coke
Sprite != Coke
Sunkist != Coke
Coke == Coke
Pepsi == Coke
Everything else sucks.

Pepsi and Coke have distinguishable differences in taste. I think I'd be able to tell the two appart if given a series of cups. :P

we did that in my psych class.
tested pepsi, coke, and sam's cola.....
Pepsi & Sam's is the closest, sam's drinks the best
It doesn't matter. No place (talking restaraunts and the such) sell Coke AND Pepsi, so if you order one of them you get what they have.

Not true. There are many places around here (typically, non-corporate places) that supply both. Examples include:
- Hong's soup place
- Pembina Inn Restaurant
- The bingo place I used to work
- Every grocery store
- My fridge at home
And there are plenty of others, those are just ones that immediately come to mind.

In almost every case, the server asks "Is <oposing company's cola> okay?" I don't mind either one, but I'm able to tell the difference between them. If given a glass of Coke, I'm pretty sure I could tell you it was Coke.
The only reason a resturaunt is constricted to one company's soda is because they sign a contract saying they will only sell their product. If they don't have a contract, they can sell whatever they want. :P
I ususally ask if they have pepsi or coke, and then order mountain dew or sprite. When I was younger I would always ask for Coke but I got tired of getting asked if pepsi was ok so I either ask beforehand or look for the machine if it's visible. Or, of course, order water or sweet tea. :)

Those last 3 don't even count, and they are all disqualified anyway by the mere fact that you're in Canada.

Did you say that wrong, or did you just never intend to drink them?

The point is, I frequently have to make the decision.

Pepsi manufactures Mountain Dew, Coke manufactures Sprite.

Ah, good point. I knew that, but it didn't occur to me :P
I actually prefer Coke, 7up, and Barq's for my cola, lemon-lime, and root beer choices.
