[QUOTE="Hawkeye, post: 514667, member: 9200"] [b]Ice tea story[/b] I was born in the South and have lived the majority of my life there, but have had the opportunity to live in various other parts of the country. I am part of a LARP group out of Atlanta. Several years ago we attended a national event that took place in Ohio. About a dozen of us made the trip up I-75. As a group we were well educated and intelligent. However, there were several people in our group that have never been north of the Mason Dixon line. We told them that things might be a little bit different that what they were used to. We had crossed the state line from Kentucky to Ohio and were trying to find a place to eat. We soon found a Quincy's steak house and went inside to eat. The majority of our party ordered Tea. (I have never developed a taste for it, so I had Dr Pepper instead) The waitress came around with our drink order. One of the more unitiated of our group took a big swallow of his ice tea and shouted out "This isn't sweet tea!" He ranted for several minutes on that fact as the rest of us tried to explain to him that they don't make different batches of ice tea, North of the Mason Dixon line and that he was lucky it was July, otherwise the only tea availalbe would have been hot.
