I pretend to support it just for solidarity with the south-- but honestly the whole "unsweet" tea always did annoy me. It should be "unsweetened"

50or idk, non-sweet would be better. not as uptight about unsweetened being the default.
@bajax move to california already you goddamned Yankee doodle dandy
@pwm I'm appalachian not deep south
@pwm hillbilly farmers and engineers in my ancestry not fat plantation owners
@bajax yeah yeah, salt of the earth, so much better than the rest of us etc etc
@pwm also moonshiners lol-- when I was a kid wandering the woods I used to come across old cinder block foundations about 2x2 feet square.
these were the site of old moonshine stills, at least that's what I Was told

@pwm look we all gotta find our own inconsequential things to be chauvinistic about
@bajax IT SHOULD BE NORMAL . IT SHOULD BE NONSWEETENED IF ANYTHING . IT'S CALLED TEA .
@f0x as long as we don't assume unlabeled means sweet I'm fine with it. though I'd be fine with unlabeled being unsweetened.
also don't you take tea with sugar?

@bajax I do. But I don't call tea "unsweetened" as if i've removed sweetness or "nonsweetened" as if sweetened is the default state of the thing produced
@f0x eh. for me un- is just a lexical negation, not an ontological one imo. I'm ok with it just indicating something which is not, as opposed to something which was made to be not.
@bajax you're 💢 going to drive me to drink mr kitty
@f0x some nice earl grey i hope-- good for the nerves
@Will2Power @bajax sorry but westerners will always be more kickass than so*therners

Milk and 2 sugars is normal, everything else is an aberration 😤
@bajax I say unsweet because its faster and I've noticed in restaurants if you say unsweetened or non-sweetened they misshear it and fuck up your order and give you sugar saturated sweet tea which you were trying to avoid. It's really just retarded that it is sweetened by default in the first place.
@ArmadilloRancher @icst thing is the kind of low quality tea they drink does taste nasty on its own (not much better with sugar mind you). it has almost none of the nice flavors of real tea
@ArmadilloRancher @bajax it's like black coffee. You hate it if you have a sugar addition but if you break the addiction stuff like soda is what becomes actually disgusting. That's why I don't drink soda anymore it's so sweet it makes me want vomit.
That's one too many sugars, but yeah.
@icst @ArmadilloRancher yeah I started making my own and by adding syrup only until it was drinkable I slowly trained myself to use less than half the usual amount. it honestly tastes so much better when the falvor isn't obliterated by sweetness
