I like all of them but tradewinds is REALLY good... I never thought I would find some in a gas station I like but their "extra sweet tea" is really good

I wasn't sure if there was still a Bojangles in town after the Lakeside closure. But since they won a year ago I put them on the list.

Every time I visit my parents in West Virginia, I stop at the Bojangles in on the 220 North bypass in Roanoke for my sweet tea; since the Bojangles on Lakeside closed, most of my tea drinking is from Sheetz now, though Jersey Mike's has some surprisingly good sweet tea (for it being a northern establishment).

McDonalds for me! They have out done Chic-fila as far as I'm concerned...CF had a lock on sweet tea forever then MickieD's wised up and started making some banging sweet tea

CFA wins for me. McD is decent, but not consistent (sometimes too sweet, sometimes just right, half the time they're out of it).

I've never had Chick-Fil-A's tea. When I go there, I always order their lemonade. But a friend also swears by their milkshakes.

Chik Fil A milkshakes - Best hands down.

Their lemonade is also terrific!

yeah, I'm glad you said it. I vote for the 4C powder that I mix up in a pitcher at home. The Lipton is also good.

Instant mix tea is a northern thing. Also, its revolting & shouldn't be described as tea.

sweet tea = southern drain-water

I can't stand the stuff, but am surrounded by people who love its dirty flavor. Here's my first use of the vomit dude: :vomit

Finally, someone who sees sweet tea for what it is.

It's a waste of perfectly good water.

I actually had a glass of sweet tea tonight at the Texas Inn, and I was surprised at how good it was. A hot, a bowl, and a sweet tea was my dinner tonight before church.

I voted for Mickey D's. You can't beat their large sweet tea for a dollar. Although sometimes they don't make it sweet enough.

And for the record, tea can't be TOO SWEET!

On a side note, McD's now has sweet tea in NJ, so Im in good shape for now. But nothin beats mama carroll's sweet tea, unless Sarah asks me

i think thats actually in tightsqueeze..


mcD's has the best. I haven't tried all of those places though. $1 for 32oz that is actually decent gets my vote every time
