        ’ll have a number 6 with extra dip. Big Smoke: I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Make that diet, I’m trying to watch my weight.

      To be fair, the alcoholic menu us typically like this too. 95% of the menu is beer, wine, or vodka and some kind of syrup.

        Even if it’s not on the menu, it’s not like you can’t get X neat or on the rocks.

          In some states iced tea would also be full of sugar. And “hot tea” is a dry teabag next to a cup of warmish water.

            As an iced tea enjoyer, who has been to almost 40 states that is absolutely untrue. I’ve never been to any restaurant that serves sweet tea but does not serve unsweetened as well. Some places especially in the north don’t consistently have either, but in my experience, if they have one they always have the other

              Nope. Plenty of places in the midwest only carry unsweet and “flavored”, not regular sweet tea. The flavor is usually extra sweet fruit flavored syrup like raspberry or peach.

                Okay fair enough, I haven’t been to many Midwestern states, especially rural areas of those states. I was more referring to places carrying only sweet tea and not unsweet

            I have been all over the continental United States of America, except California, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, and that other state up there between California and Washington that I always think is Vermont, driving a truck and have literally never been to a place that had sweet tea but not unsweet.

            I’ve seen a few the other way around, but that was in New England, about as far from sweet tea culture as you can get.

            Maybe a gas station or a fast food joint that use the syrups instead of brewed, but you don’t want to drink that shit

              I live in GA, where if you order tea it will be defaulted to sweet tea. However, I have never seen a place that doesn’t have unsweet - you just have to order it that way.

      I mean, I just annoyed that milk isn’t even an option in a lot of restaurants. It’s something so basic, like.

      What’s wrong with water? I usually just get water and ask for lemon slices to squeeze into it. Which is a game changer and they always have on hand because of the alcoholic drinks lmao

      This annoys me so badly.

      I don’t drink carbonated beverages, so when I go into a place and don’t want beer then my options are basically coffee or water.

      Fine in the mornings, but I don’t want a coffee at 5PM. So I guess it’s just water then huh

      Don’t forget fake sugar. And most of that “sugar” is actually corn we tricked into tasting like sugar.

        I honestly hope you are making some attempt at a joke, and I’m just failing to get it…

          I think it’s a high fructose corn syrup joke, but that’s more like squeezing all the sugar out of a cob of corn and pretending it’s juice concentrate in my mind.
