      Yea, when my family did a trip down south, i asked for some sweet tea, thinking it was like Brisk, but i couldnt believe how sweet it was.

      if your drink is sweeter than pop, its… scary.

        According to Wikipedia:

        it is not unusual to find sweet tea with a sugar level as high as 22 degrees Brix, or 22 g per 100 g of liquid, a level twice that of Coca-Cola."

        Coca-Cola already has a disgusting amount of sugar. The mere idea of this makes me queasy.

      Depends on who makes it… McDonald’s, 7-11, and the like use about twice the amount of sugar that’s really necessary and it does not make it better.
