Summary

Now I’m just a simple country iced tea drinker, but it seems to me that if you want to drink iced tea, there are some crucial components to such a refreshing beverage. Oh actually nevermind that I’d rather talk about the soul food place I went to this week where a real bumpkin looking customer was asked “Are you a tea drinker?” and he got a free sample of the sweet tea. After hemming and hawing over the availability of sweet ‘n’ low, he relented and the two men began talking about going to the chiropractor to fix their backs. The customer said he went once a week! He was wearing compression socks! That’s a no bueno situation, indeed. But enjoy the tea, my friend. It was made in a volcano.
