Yeah I heard about the U.S. not having Iced Tea as a soda drink. Just that they pour ice over the tea and put sugar in it to sweeten it. Is this true? They don't have brands like Nestea, Lipton, Brisk, etc? I can't believe this is true, in Canada and Europe they have the regular pop drink Iced tea everywhere but not in the U.S.?
They do have "pre-sweetened" Iced Tea in the U.S. They actually have two types: regular Ice tea and sweet tea, aka liquid diabetes, which is found mostly in the south. The difference between the two is in regular iced tea the sugar is added when the tea is cold. Sweet tea on the other hand, the sugar is added when the tea is still hot. Plus they also have the unsweetened iced tea.
I think you guys are missing the point. What the OP probably meant is that Quebec cuisine is reasonably easy to define and therefore any discussion of Canadian cuisine ends up top-heavy with Quebec dishes.
It's not a question of excluding Quebec as if it was separate from Canada. It's a question of getting the cuisine in the rest of the country that does not get as much visibility.
^^ This. I don't think it's very controversial to say that Quebec is a nation within Canada.

Here in Virginia there's "sweet tea", which is sweeter than iced tea. I'd imagine that sweet tea is made with high fructose corn syrup / glucose-fructose rather than sugar.

They do sell jugs of pre-sweetened iced tea - "Arnold Palmer" and "Arizona" I buy regularly - but I've never seen the nestea or goodhost powder.
And yes...from my extensive experience - whenever I get iced tea in the US as a fountain beverage it's always just cold tea.
I heard ketchup chips are non existent down south...
Tomato chips are ubiquitous in Northeastern Europe and Russia, and unless the brand I tried was highly unusual, they were identical to what we call ketchup chips.

"Iced tea" in the US is just tea with ice. But you can readily find Arizona, Snapple sweet teas.
They taste different from the "Sweet Tea" Americans (South) fawn over, which is lots of sugar, some lemon and hot tea with ice.
