Morley, yes it is a southern thing. They kept correcting me when I kept asking for Iced Tea with sugar.
Also sometimes automatically I ask for a "Coca cola light" when I am in the US, instead of a "Diet coke." In europe we call it Coca Cola light, the can says so too.

Not all Europe, Jstkdn! In Britain it's Diet Coke, though it's anathema for most Brits to refer to themselves as European at all : o )

I actually considered that. But then I figured, the english always say that they are not in Europe, so I am just going with their flow. :) :)
Oh oh oh, good luck on the elections today!!!

Yes jstkdn sweet tea although sourthern style sweet tea is tooooo sweet. I like just a little sugar not a lot like they serve in the south. In southeastern West Virginia it is pop.

Yeah, I'd love to sea something like Sweet Coffee! Like a iced coffee, but super sweet AND caffinated.
I am getting a brain buzz just fantasizing about it. :)

Acually, Blaise I have seen Coca-cola light in some takeaways. I am also from England. And I would call it pop.
