Now with 50% more calories!

As if sweetened iced tea wasn't sweet enough, we now have "extra sweet" tea! Regular sweet tea has 70 calories per serving, or 140 per bottle, but this new and improved stuff has 110 calories per serving, or 220 for the whole bottle. But wait! There's more! All of those calories come from High Fructose Corn Syrup which is one of the worst sweeteners out there.

I just had to give this stuff a try, and when I did it was so sweet it made my lips curl in and my eyes cross. Yes, seriously! My husband, however, thought it was awesome! LOL He's from the deep south where everyone drinks "swait tay". They serve it in every restaurant there and for the uninitiated it's like a super-saturated sugar solution (Hi Mrs. Lenehan from 6th grade science!) with a bit of tea flavor and is not suitable for human consumption. :-)

So anyways... Shame on Lipton for filling a bottle with liquid sugar and smacking on a label that boasts that it contains "Naturally Protective Antioxidents" and trying to pass this stuff off as "healthy".
