Orly? Next time you're down this way you'll have to bring me a bottle or few.

The northern part of America is typically Pepsi country....at least the northern parts I've been in....Michigan, Winnsonsin, around the Great Lakes....I can remember being up there with my dad and about ready to throw a fit because the stores didn't have coke....only Pepsi.

If you can find it down there, it's better than what I've got up here. I've never had trouble finding Coke around Huntsville or Birmingham, AL but yes, the restaurants always seemed to be Pepsi. I'll take sweet tea please

Oh, and if I want to find 'hot tea', then I have to find a Canadian. No one down there seems to have a clue that the stuff was originally made with boiling water.

Back on the 'old board' I made the mistake of stating that I thought anything that needed copious quantities of sugar, syrup, or honey in order to be palatable should be called what it is; paste. Several people told me that I just hadn't had 'good' grits.

Duh! How can tea be hot tea if you don't get the water boiling hot first! I agree...alot of people don't drink it down here...too hot for it!...but I'll drink it occassionally and the young padawan likes it, so I know how to fix it.

Sugar in grits?!? Say it isn't so!!! That's funny because most people I know who eat grits only put butter and salt on them. Ewww.... My dad was the only person I've ever seen eat them with sugar.

Hot tea is actually pretty good in hot weather, because it gets your body's own cooling system running. Once, down in TN I asked for hot tea and the server looked at me like I'd grown a second head. I asked how they made their sweet and unsweet tea and when she said that they brewed it from bags then iced it I said, "Just don't cool it down before giving it to me." She said that they couldn't do that

If something is getting butter, then its white rice and I'm using soya sauce, not salt.

Bullshit. She could have....she just didn't want to. And every full service place I've worked at alway has service for hot tea for the oddballs like you.

Mmmm....buttered rice. That's something I haven't had in a while!

My grandfather often drinks scalding hot coffee after mowing the lawn in the middle of summer.
