Sadly, yes. I had that yesterday. They have AWESOME tea and they use the same kind of ice Sonic does. One day thru the drive-thru I saw they had some REALLY LARGE drink size available so I ordered that. Imagine my surprise when I'm handed my own personal small "cooler" size container of Sweet Tea But darn it was good

There's one near me, too. I think they are out of Weatherford. Besides great sweet tea, they have the Dublin Dr Pepper!

Now that's a good idea. Thanks for the tip.

Well, 'ol Friend you know that I'm not Native....and I appreciate you not holding that against me.

My wife is from Lawton and she is in control of the tea making at our house. She makes it so dang sweet it's syrupy.....like a little taste of heaven in semi-liquid form.

She does make it unsweet a lot of the time when we have company as a lot of folks around here will drink it unsweet as well. Personally, I wouldn't touch the unsweet; I'd rather drink water. She usually just asks our guests before they come over what they prefer and then makes the tea accordingly.

I'm an eighth generation Texan and we make our tea sweet.
