Is it a scam? Or possible? Unlikely?

Your last sentence makes me wonder: does anyone besides me drink totally unsweetened iced tea? I grew up on it, my whole family brewed and drank it constantly. But lately when I order it at a restaurant and specify “unsweetened,” the servers look at me like I’m some kind of monster. Maybe a generational thing? Or am I a lunatic for not sweetening it at all?

Yes, I enjoy home brewed totally unsweetened iced tea, also. Drinking it right now. I've learned that many restaurants make their iced teas in bulk using powdered mixes which consist of sweeteners & flavorings. I've gotten those same puzzled expressions from servers.

For occasional variety, I'll make a batch using peach flavored iced tea mix and combine with my home brewed. Love it with lots of ice. The colder the better.

I LOVE sweet tea (I can’t stand it unsweetened), and thought this was funny.

Sounds like Chick0-Fil-A sweet tea is right up your alley.

Ha! It’s a pretty drastic difference in taste for sure. I totally understand how one can be a fan of it one way and hate it the other way.

I confess to having never tried iced tea. Grew up in a family of big hot tea drinkers, even in summer they would guzzle it like water.

Yes, I love it. They also have a beverage called White Peach Sunjoy, but it's a seasonal beverage.

There's a local restaurant here that's known for its chicken and fish, and their Half & Half (which is sold as a fountain drink) is sooo good. It's waaayyy better than the Arizona Half & Half that are sold in grocery stores.
