My Body is a Cage


Today I decided I would try the German version of Sweet Tea. I think the only reason I was disappointed was because I come from the South. Actually, I think anyone would be disappointed by German 'Sweet Tea.' Zeb, you don't need to capitalize Sweet Tea. On the contrary, I must capitalize it much in the same way you would for God. I hold Sweet Tea on a higher level. Plus, this Sweet Tea had 30% less sugar! 30% percent LESS sugar. What the hell is that? I have never heard those words and Sweet Tea in the same sentence! Let me try to do some quick calculations. In McAlister's (this is where Sweet Tea calls home), we mix roughly 4-8 cups of sugar (maybe more, I have bad memory) into 5 gallons. You then put that into a 32 oz. cup. You get roughly 1/4-1 cup of sugar in each cup. That's enough sugar to give you and your family a healthy dose of Diabetes, depending how many you buy. Or how many times you get it refilled. What I'm trying to say is: Stop calling your nasty tea, sweet. It's not, get over it.

On another note, I've developed shaky hands. I'm sure it's not a serious problem, it just gets annoying.

  1. CAN I JUST SAY:
    Sweet Tea connoisseur that I am, I don't like McAlister's Sweet Tea.
    And I'm sure I wouldn't like that German mess either.

  2. It's OK, as long as we agree that Germans don't know a thing about Sweet Tea.
