and the options are sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, or water
And diet sugar
’ll have a number 6 with extra dip. Big Smoke: I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Make that diet, I'm trying to watch my weight.
To be fair, the alcoholic menu us typically like this too. 95% of the menu is beer, wine, or vodka and some kind of syrup.
Even if it's not on the menu, it's not like you can't get X neat or on the rocks.
^ This. Diet Coke/Pepsi if you're LUCKY. Otherwise, water.
Do you people’s restaurants not serve iced tea?
In some states iced tea would also be full of sugar. And "hot tea" is a dry teabag next to a cup of warmish water.
As an iced tea enjoyer, who has been to almost 40 states that is absolutely untrue. I've never been to any restaurant that serves sweet tea but does not serve unsweetened as well. Some places especially in the north don't consistently have either, but in my experience, if they have one they always have the other
Nope. Plenty of places in the midwest only carry unsweet and "flavored", not regular sweet tea. The flavor is usually extra sweet fruit flavored syrup like raspberry or peach.
Okay fair enough, I haven't been to many Midwestern states, especially rural areas of those states. I was more referring to places carrying only sweet tea and not unsweet
Here in Canada it is mostly just sweet tea
I have been all over the continental United States of America, except California, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, and that other state up there between California and Washington that I always think is Vermont, driving a truck and have literally never been to a place that had sweet tea but not unsweet.
I’ve seen a few the other way around, but that was in New England, about as far from sweet tea culture as you can get.
Maybe a gas station or a fast food joint that use the syrups instead of brewed, but you don’t want to drink that shit
I live in GA, where if you order tea it will be defaulted to sweet tea. However, I have never seen a place that doesn't have unsweet - you just have to order it that way.
The trick is "Unsweetened Ice Tea", which not everyone has. :(
Afaik, the only other options besides what you listed for beverages anywhere is milk, coffee and tea. And depending where you get them, the coffee and tea may as well just be sugar (or aspartame) too.
Well, coming from a tropical country to the US was a disappointment there. I used to be able to get a variety of freshly squeezed juices almost anywhere, and the only thing they serve around here are bottled OJ's that barely taste like orange. It's not even like there's a limited variety at the grocery store, it's just not a thing...
Most juice has a lot of sugar. The ones that don't don't generally taste that good.
But bottle OJ tasting like shit is a real thing, they have to do so much to it to get it to last for more than a week on the shelf that all the flavor is sucked out of it.
Juice is still pretty sugary, even fresh squeezed. They naturally have sugars in them which is why they are sweet. While a lot of premade juice also includes added sugars. There was a study posted somewhere on Lemmy not too long ago that showed most American's sugar intake came from fruit juices and not sodas as previously thought.
Mocktails, a whole new world
I mean, I just annoyed that milk isn't even an option in a lot of restaurants. It's something so basic, like.
actually milk is slightly acidic
jk
Sorry, the milk is for the kids' menu. You can't order from that.

Check the menu for items that require milk as an ingredient. You might be able to order a glass even if it isn't on the menu.
Like milksteak?
Like anything with a bechamel-based sauce or gravy, or custard/pudding/flan, or pancakes, etc.
Are you a cat?
To order for a kid? Or the sloppy steak?
OMG - i had forgotten the sloppy steak!
I've been in plenty where you could just order milk. 🤷
Though usually those are chain restaurants that prioritize breakfast, might be why.
Despite what Lucille Bluth believes, vodka doesn't bad in a few days after opening bottle. Milk goes bad quickly.
They usually have the milk on hand for cooking, or just the kids menu. If my family of 4 can easily go through 2 gallons a week, I can't imagine a resteraunt having problems using up milk before it goes bad unless they over-purchase
This annoys me so badly.
I don't drink carbonated beverages,, so when I go into a place and don't want beer then my options are basically coffee or water.
Fine in the mornings, but I don't want a coffee at 5PM. So I guess it's just water then huh
i'm a hydrohomie, i would be/am more than fine with that.
What's wrong with water? I usually just get water and ask for lemon slices to squeeze into it. Which is a game changer and they always have on hand because of the alcoholic drinks lmao
Don't forget fake sugar. And most of that "sugar" is actually corn we tricked into tasting like sugar.
I honestly hope you are making some attempt at a joke, and I'm just failing to get it...
I think it's a high fructose corn syrup joke, but that's more like squeezing all the sugar out of a cob of corn and pretending it's juice concentrate in my mind.
