@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.

[@jimthompson606]

When my mother made ice tea for Sunday dinner, she would boil the teabags with the water and then turn a five-pound bag of sugar upside-down into the boiler to sweeten it.

[@MelB868]

Oh no that’s too sweet when diabetes run in our family we put like a cup cup and half at most

Good Lord! That’s why southerners have higher obesity rates then people in New England. Lack of exercise and tons of sugar/fried foods.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Oh boy, that's way too much sugar. That's like, "Do you want tea with your sugar?"

[@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).

[@hansgrueber8169]

9 grams?....maybe in one sip. Re-read the label.

I drink the mini Pepsi's to keep my sugary soda intake low, a couple a day. BUT, I keep a jug of Milo's unsweet tea (my fav) in the fridge. Black, unsweet tea within 30 minutes of a sugary anything flushes the sugar out faster. FACT!

[@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.

Back when I was a kid in the late 70s we used to make the trek from Prattville, Al to Clanton to visit my Granny every Sunday. She made the sweetest tea ever and kept it in a crystal pitcher in the "frigerator". I have a feeling this extra sweet from Milo's will have to be awfully sweet to compete.

I have heard it called the "West Texas Apostasy," but once you get beyond Houston, most tea is served unsweet. High heat plus sugar water equals stomach cramps or worse in my book. A more charitable view is that no one out here can agree on the proper level of sweet, so you are expected to tailor your experience at the table.

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 sold off the grocery store version to another company awhile back and that's why it tastes different, kinda like murky water.🦋
