Almost every time I go somewhere that serves both sweet and unsweet tea, my order of “Unsweetened, please” gets screwed up. Even when I say it “Regular, no sugar” or whatever, they still manage to mess it up.

I don’t drink pop (soda, coke, carbonated-non-alcoholic-beverage-with-artificial-and/or-natural-flavors) anymore because it makes my body go whack. Sugar (well, in pop its most likely to be high-fructose corn syrup) makes me jittery. Extra caffeine in coffee or pop magnifies that effect, and also makes me cranky and unable to function once it wears off.

So, I drink iced tea. I get a little bit of caffeine so I can function, and it has a subtle tea-taste. I can’t stand sweet tea. It tastes like sugar-water. However, at this point maybe I ought to switch to just plain water to keep myself sane.
