Obligatory summertime post

Posted by Cliff Bostock on Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 1:20 PM

I hope you didn't think we were going to get through the summer without the inevitable discussion of sweet tea. Actually, I'm not going to discuss it, but instead refer you to a conversation on the Washington Post site:

This week's Random Friday Query is a burning question....At what point as you travel down the Eastern Seaboard do you cross the International Sweet Tea Line? When do you enter sweet-tea territory, where genuine sugar-added-during-steeping tea is available at every restaurant?

The northern border of the sweet tea line is between NC and VA. Oh, there are some places in VA where you can get sweet tea, but not as many as you'd think. The southern border is around Daytona Beach. There may be some places in Central FL/Orlando where you can get Sweet tea (like Sonny's), but again, it's not as prevalent as you'd think.

Someone empircally mapped the Sweet Tea Line a few years ago. It's the first hit in Google. http://www.google.com/search?q=sweet+tea+line http://eightoverfive.com/SweetTea.swf
