Milk in tea ...🤢

@@rayjohnson2387 with the right tea its good. Some Irish breakfast tea with a spoon full of sugar and a dash of milk or half and half is really good.

@@rayjohnson2387 Yeah, I might be an outcast, but I don't really like "British tea". Despite the stereotype. I prefer coffee. As far as teas go, british tea is pretty underwhelming. Prefer a herbal tea, green tea or something you're supposed to drink black, like Lapsang Souchong.

At the family Christmas I like to open each of my presents with a different knife. Just cuz I can. It really frustrates my family because I don't cut the wrapping paper only the tape, so it takes a minute.

I have had Arizona sweet tea and when he said it was not sweet, :( to me when I had it it was the sweetest tea I have ever had lol

@@grzesiakart1808 The worst sweet tea I ever had was McDonalds its just sugar water with some tea flavor no scratch that its sugar with water and tea added to it.

@@grzesiakart1808 go to walmart and get you some milos. its fuycking bomb and cheap as hell

One Thanksgiving, we realized nobody brought any sweet tea. I volunteered to go get some. Wal Mart was the only place open and all they had was "Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea". Everything else was sold out. I still haven't lived that down as the guy that brought "the worst sweet tea" to Thanksgiving dinner.

Andrew Holmes Nice.

That's so sweet.☺

Awesome!

You shoulda done called her "Grandma".

Funny how he dislikes many of these sweet teas. I hate them all. Certainly sweet tea is a Southern thing that never caught on up North.

Came here to say this.

I live in Louisiana and I don't really get the hype around Milo's sweet tea. I tasted it and it was good, but it was the ok kind of good. Meanwhile, I love Gold Peak, Brisk, and Peace Tea. Milo's just isn't a tea that I would drink everyday

I came here for this comment too... Publix tea is goated...

@@jcoolguy1548you love brisk and peace??? Hiw

Nah publix tea is not goated

Thats exactly what I thought!!!

ColbyBrocklvr I just realized I haven’t had Milo’s tea in forever....I need to go to the store now 😂

I live in Ohio. I tried Milos tea for the first time after watching your video. Love it!

Citric acid is used as a stabilizer in drinks and sauces so they can be mass produced and sit on shelves for years without going bad. If you want good tea, look at their ingredient lists, same goes for tomato sauce.

Fire Princess Reviews barely though

Hiii! From September! Just barely

Milos and Publux or bust! Side note: Publix Peach tea is pretty great

Haven't tried Publix. How does it compare to Milos?

@@blakeromo they don't have Publix Tea in some areas like North Carolina or Virginia.

from his reaction, I'm not even sure its tea flavored

no it’s pretty foul

No thats insulting to kool-aide

A lot of Arizona tea is made in Lakeland Florida at a factory that is know as the juice bowl. I would deliver about 10 loads of cans a day to them.

It really is tho

Its probably the water the company has on hand

Yup lol

Whoa.

Andrew Rea with Type 1.

I salute to your suffering🤧

I can sympathize. Dr told me I was pre-diabetic so I decided to nip it in the bud. A good way to do this is to either "forget" to put the sugar in or tell yourself you'll drink the first quarter unsweet and sweeten it later. Usually by the time that happens I'm too lazy to get up and put sugar in, so I just end up finishing it all unsweet. One nice thing I found about quitting (or in my case, significantly reducing) sugar is that I used to need a nap after lunch. Now my energy level is even, and a lot of weird physical symptoms I originally attributed to age (I'm 60) are gone now.

A couple years ago, I ordered a peach sweet tea from sonic. I guess there were out of sweet tea..because they gave me an unsweetened tea and poured in about a cup of sugar. Since then, I haven't been able to drink sweet tea. As a woman in the south, I feel I should be able to sue them...

I been drinking unsweet tea since i was 2 before i was diabetic. Granny was from England.... Arkansas. Shedidn't drink unsweet tea either.... 99% of the time but sweet tea was a treat. Probably because the 117f with 30% humidity in central California didn't lead to much sugar drinks to kill the thirst. I don't drink sweet tea. No one in my family does except special occasions. Also pure tea is good tea. unsweet tea. Never had sweet tea.

While I really prefer Sweet Tea when I'm sittin' around socializing, when I'm working outside in the hot South Florida summers, I have to switch to unsweet. I usually go through about a gallon each of unsweet tea, Gatorade, and water per day - with *NO* bathroom breaks! Yeh I sweat a lot...

IKR. You think you hated that last one, here's a tea that tastes like watered down cough syrup.

Brisk tea sucks

Where I live you can only buy the bottom three. I thought I hated sweet tea for over a decade, then a southerner made me try the real thing.

NOOOOOOOO!

@@alsinakiria surprisingly the canadian ones aren't too bad.

It's not bad to me either. But I always get the one with the blue label. I make sure it's straight tea. I don't want anything else in it.

It is definitely difficult to even get proper sweet tea in Maine. In his top 3, I can only get Gold Peak. The Pure Leaf Sweet Tea tastes decent to me, but when he mentioned the dirt/pieces taste, I can see that. I will drink black iced tea too, so perhaps that's why I don't mind that one, even though it is probably lame by sweet tea standards. The only Arizona I don't mind is the green tea and the 1/2 and 1/2 Lite Arnold Palmer. However, some newer green teas have come on the market in recent years that highlight how bad the green tea is too. They are definitely "fake" teas.

Don't lie, Melanie. You only drink water.

Arizona is fucking great, the sour taste is a feature. But I consider that kinda 'tea drink' to be another thing that isn't tea

Only way to go.

That's what I said make it at home take it with you. Bottled tea never

😂😂😂

Lol i lol'd at his comment "nastea"

@@user-ok8yq6nc6x Correct. I was meaning to look for a bottle with the least amount of ingredients. Besides if you watch the video, Matt was acting if the longer the date the better it was. It was actually the other way around.

It's sold at my wonderful southern, alabama school

@willow84 and north Carolina we have it

The tea at Milo's restaurants is M U C H better than the bottled version. Milo's folks sold off the bottling part of the company and it tastes like mud! Look at the ick in the bottom of a gallon jug at the grocery store. If y'all can ever go to a Publix grocery store, buy a gallon of their regular sweet tea. It is absolutely awesome! I used to be a die-hard Milo's fan but now only drink it from the restaurant itself.

Wow milos is available in Oregon that's cool, it's made here in Alabama, it's good, I thought it was probably regional south east

@@LP-mz8rc Blesphemy! There is no other drinkable bottled sweet T besisdes Milos

I think only the Austin trash drinks it LOL

They contain sucralose. They have some half-and-half varieties that I think are decent if you're going to be out in the hot sun all day and want something that has a little bit of real sugar but not too much. It lives in some strange intermediate space between "soft drink" and "sports beverage." I wouldn't compare it to a regular bottled tea.

I live near Amarillo and that stuff is sold everywhere over here

As a Texan, I'm seriously offended.

@@gooneegoogoo123 no.

Lol

Super Geek .....I am not a big Green Tea drinker, but I love Publix’s Diet Green Tea!! Maybe I have gotten use to the taste of diet drinks, but I don’t really think I could tell on this one.

All of Publix tea is good! I love the green tea, the sweet tea, the unsweet tea the diet green, and they're expensive brand lemongrass and Sage!

My mom buys Publix tea for Thanksgiving dinner now. She's getting up in age and says I just better be thankful that she buys the one with sugar, cuz she rather get the unsweet and add the Sweet n Low, per doctor's orders. I say Oh, lawd, gimme tha sugar. lol

@Tumbleweed what about Stevia or Spendra or Monkfruit?

@@eg1197 believe he was talking about the products flooded with Aspartame, Erythritol, or Xylithol.

FrontLineTexan 21 exactly.

Red Diamond, Milo's is (I know this is sacrilege here in the south but) too sweet and Gold peak is too weak.

There is no competition

Love Milo! I don't drink soft drinks and can't stand a lot of sugar, too sweet. Right amount of sweetness. Can only find at the pig. Stopped and got a couple for the road

Hi from hartford,

Eyyyyyyy! I love Dothan. There’s a paintball field just outside the circle that I love to visit, that and the peanut festival was a yearly tradition, just have to visit.

You guys are so dorky about your sugar water. Only Americans will take something as healthy as tea, completely adulterate the concept and turn it into one of the most harmful drinks regularly consumed in the southern US

@ryanthelion408 I won't deny that fact. But dang, it is sooo good! 😊

@@ryanthelion408 I mean the most unhealthy part of tea is the caffeine not the sugar. Also cheap digs at Americans is just *sooo* cool right.

I actually boil the water then drop in 10 bags and turn the burner off and let it set for 20 minutes. Works for me.

During the summer, I put 2 tea bag in 4 c water and leave it in hot sun 🌞 till dawn. Refigerate.

@@eg1197 do you mean "til dusk"? I make sun tea occasionally but it comes in at dark.

@@pbkayakyer silly me 😌 dawn.. dusk... Both start with a D. Ty for correction.

I boil mine in a big pot and then I drop about 12 bags in. Keep it in the fridge overnight. 🤗

This would have to be done regionally. There are way too many standard potluck dishes. In Van Zandt county Texas it's chicken spaghetti but it's different in other places. It would be hard to compare chicken spaghetti against, say, fried chicken salad or something like that.

Rivka I see your point, but I doubt that would stop Matt from having a good time with it! 😆

@@canoslo6126 true. I'm already laughing at that one dish somebody always brings to a potluck whose main ingredient is past idenitfying and is covered in some type of " cream of ____" soup and a bunch of cheese to hide it. Id like to hear his take on it.

Rivka I married a Midwesterner. I did not grow up with Jello salads, but Jello salads are HUGE in the Midwest. Every potluck has a selection of miscellaneous sometimes unidentifiable substances covered in goo - just like those casseroles you mentioned only without the cheese sauce. Lol

SO TRUE

What!?!? Milo's sauce is where it's at!

Milos teas are hard to find around here but my school sells them for lunch

Chile, you don't know what you're missing! The best one is the one near Hoover. That one near UAB don't do right lol.

Why’d you taste antifreeze though...

@@MissNumbledore :) My first car, back in the early 80s was a 76 Chevy Impala that overheated often. It was all I could afford, and every now and then, when it was really bad, you'd turn the heater on because the old cars ran a second radiator off of the engine coolant, and one of those connections would "pop" and spray coolant through the vents, or you'd be on the highway, and the coolant mist would come from under the hood and through the open windows. :) I have no idea how my generation survived to see the internet.

Tea in the South IS a very serious thing.
