Matt Tries Milo's EXTRA Sweet Tea

Matt tastes the new extra sweet tea from Milo's tea company and gives his honest opinion.

[@ohionative5237]

The original Milo's sweet tea is very very sweet as it is. Now they have extra sweet tea. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I'm pretty sure if I drink that my foot would fall off.

[@Bigheadedwon]

your exaggerating, your foot wouldn't fall off. It would slowly start to swell until it was 5x it's size and then to save your leg and life, doctors would saw it off.

[@ScrotumCat]

@Michael cluckey 😂😂😂 I’m so sorry! But that made me chuckle. U have a good sense of humor. I like milos. It’s my favorite tea. But I’m that weird girl that don’t like too much sugar in her tea. So this would probably be more for my dad. He always wanted us to make syrup with sugar and water about an inch and a half up the bottom of the tea pitcher before we made the tea. We didn’t measure and I don’t even think it was actually a “gallon” jug. (It was probably bigger tbh lol)

[@jasonpatterson8091]

I'm glad that they offer it, but man, Splenda is an evil trick. Tastes like real sugar...yeah right.

[@sissinoklahoma2057]

Fun Fact: Splenda is the absolute ONLY sugar substitute that leaves your body as the exact same chemical as it entered. In layman's term, your body doesn't process it, at all. You all remember aspartame? Its not that chemical that causes problems, its what our bodies turn it into when its being processed. So to end this fun fact moment, Splenda is the safest sugar-substitute which is why it is recommended by dietitians and nutrition boards.

[@heathercutler5114]

I'll admit that I'd love to just drink regular homemade sweet tea, but I'm grateful to have this option. 😊

[@en21b]

Let's be honest. If you weren't diabetic you would NOT drink Milo's with Splenda, don't lie. I'm sorry you cannot drink normaly sweetened tea but sweet baby Jesus do not try to convince people that Milo's with Splenda is amazing. Just STOP!

[@2Blessed]

@@en21b it's amazing for what it is. When you cut sugar out of your diet, your tastebuds adjust. I always hated 'diet' or sugar-free things, but I enjoy them now, because my life depends on it. I don't expect someone who is not diabetic to enjoy it.

[@etherealsamael3211]

Positive note on this is that I moved to California back in 2017, and the regular red cap tastes like the unsweetened, and the extra sugar tastes like normal Southern sweet tea. Now I just need some Blue Bell ice cream and I can have a nostalgia trip.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

For anyone losing their minds about the sweetness of this, it's comparable to any bottled soda at this point. Mountain Dew, for instance, contains another 9g of sugar, Coke contains 3g fewer (comparing 20oz sizes).

Never have seen the green labeled tea anywhere.

[@amandaholley8068]

Still probably way healthier than cokes. My sister is going to be all about this! I refer to her homemade sweet tea as syrup because it’s insanely sweet. Even this true Southerner has to add a ton of ice to cancel out some of the sweetness. (Before I lose my Southern card, I am very weight and health-conscious, so I try to stick with water.)

I do make my own tea and it's very good but the best grocery store bought sweet tea is Publix brand. It's cleaner tasting than Milos. Milos tea at the restaurant is much better than the grocery store version too.

Milos is good tea and this is coming from a southern ohioian. I tried their zero calorie tea because Walmart didn't have the regular sweet tea, yeah waste of a dollar. Glad to see that they now carry the gallon jug now. Milo's also makes lemonade and its pretty good as well.
