Being a dutiful Southerner, I love Sweet Tea, which leads to a funny story.

My wife's family are from the mid-west. I went with her to a cousin's wedding a few years ago in Kanas City, Missouri. One night a bunch of the family decided to go eat at the local Bob Evans. When the waitress came to take the drink orders, I reflexively answered "Sweet Tea"

No Kidding here folks, she looked at me as if I had arrived in a UFO. Politely she said she did not know what sweet tea actually was but offered unsweatened tea with some packs of "sweet n low"

I said "Hon, it just a'int the same thing, I will just have a pepsi instead"

My wife's relatives had a good laugh on that one.
