When you eat out, do you know what iced tea you are drinking?

I would imagine most people couldn’t tell the difference

whoever gives you the best pricing. They all taste pretty much the same (which is good, all three are good teas)

honestly if i ran a restaurant the Non-alcoholic beverage choices would be water, iced tea and lemonade, period. and i'd put up a big sign making it clear that soft drinks are not served, and "you're welcome"

tell them it’s for their own good LOL

Mom didn't want my brother and I drinking all the sugar, so we grew up drinking unsweetened tea. That's how we both like it today.

does not matter as long as it's unsweetened

All the brands you listed make a good unsweetened tea..

The only time I pay attention is at self serve places and will NOT drink Gold Peak (machine where you can change the flavors). That shite is gross. I feel like this is only a self service thing and most restaurants don't use those because tea is so cheap to make.

Unsweetened is absolutely the norm in NOLA

I think it’s the norm in restaurants throughout south Louisiana, but many offer a choice between sweet and unsweetened. Visitors do seem to assume that we are all sweet tea drinkers because we’re in the south.

I do like to add Splenda to my unsweetened tea, though.

Nobody around here uses Lipton?

As long as it's fresh brewed, I cannot tell the difference. Though I do notice some places have better tea than others, but I've never investigated what tea they each use.

I would say offer both sweetened and unsweetened tea options.

There are people like my wife who will like to make a half-n-half, at place like Zoe's or Newk's, where you serve your own tea, and can make it half sweet and half unsweet.

ETA: make this an option if not self serve and it would only come from the kitchen
