the nearest 5 Guys to me has stopped serving unsweetened ice tea.

the nearest Popeyes to me *might* stop serving unsweetened ice tea - today they had sweetened (mislabeled, meaning i didn't find out until my taste buds exploded at the HFCS overload).  it *might* have been a mistake in shipping, or they may be changing and just didn't change the label.  I don't know yet.

*Both* places, mind you, have "lemonade" *right next to the tea*, meaning someone can make their own crap-called-tea right there just by using the two fountains together....

BUT NOOOOOOOOO

*sigh*

...I sympathize about the unsweetened iced tea problem, but you can't expect unsweetened tea at a Popeyes south of the Mason Dixon line, can you?

believe it or not, until today, they'd had nothing but, both at this store (Fair Oaks Mall) and up in Chantilly.

they've started adding ti as a "soda" option, rather than brewing it.

I'm wondering if you ought to just sign up for an ingenuitea and get a cup of ice. :)

well, even as a "Soda" option (meaning it goes through the boxed bag of syrup, mixed with water at the fountain, only this water isn't carbonated) there's unsweetened. the local Subway in the same mall also gets the same stuff from Nestea, being the concentrate i used to be able to get at Giant stores last year only now THAT's gone, replaced only by the sweet/lemon crap.

You understand that the inadequately sweetened tea is only there for yankees, right? You drink that stuff, you might as well just switch to pepsi.
