"Do you like your tea sweet or unsweet?"  There are only certain parts of the country where this is even a question.  On the west coast, no one serves it.  In the deep south, nearly everyone does.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for sweet tea, other times not.  I guess that reflects a little bit of where I've lived, which includes North Carolina where it's really popular, and the eastern parts of Oklahoma and Texas where restaurants often default to it.  I've lived in other unsweet tea parts of the country too, though, and don't mind unsweet tea.  Turns out there's a certain geography of sweet tea loving areas in the country (and check the domain of this www site):

One of the more amazing things about the restaurant industry is how much profit a restaurant makes off of a glass of tea

tea cost just pennies to make but most time cost at least a dollar

it is by far the leading profit maker with a baked potato (even fully loaded) not far behind

I didn't really know sweet tea was mainly a southern thing until I moved to Austin and nobody served it.

There is comedy in the above sentence.

I like Arnold Palmer's too, preferably about a 2-1 ratio of unsweetened tea to lemonade. 

Compensation.

Junior sees his kids growing up, realizes he isn't getting any younger, goes into an anxiety attack and posts successive hyperbolic posts ridiculing others for being older than himself.

Feeling younger now, Junior?  A little more in control of your destiny?

Good for you.   I'd rather sympathize with you and encourage you than to criticize you.

Age is a relative thing, contingent in large part upon happiness.  You have a blessed life, Junior and a future before you that is still quite sizable.  Enjoy life and fret not.  There's no need for ugliness.  You're better than that.

I like to order Arnold Palmers.  It makes me sound exotic and well-traveled and it lets the waitress know I'm a fun, discriminating man of means who will tip her well if the service is good.  I've seen waitress get giddy when I order Arnold Palmers.  They twitter, they blush.  They get exciting, run to the back and tell all the other servers they have an Arnold Palmer man at one of their tables.  Sometimes I can even hear the high fives.

I order them quite often.  Never heard the high fives, but I'll be listening from now on
And long before John Daly brought his alcoholism to professional golf, Arnold Palmers have been served with vodka.

I'm beginning to understand how Taco Bell was voted the best Mexican food in the United States outside of Texas
