Honestly trying American lemonade and American tea for the first time was an experience. Why is there so much sugar (or I guess high fructose corn syrup) in this drink?

IT ALL TASTES LIKE METAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thank god we don't have this problem in the UK
Depends on who is making it. Everything store bought will be super sweet. I make my lemonade sour
It was an immigrant from Chicago, but she said she preferred "southern style" whatever that means. Pulled out iced tea with like a week's worth of my regular sugar intake in the pitcher.
Southern tea is absurdly sweet, it's more normal in other places. I did think lemonade was sugary everywhere tho.
Southern sweet tea is more of a dessert. Basically everyone here orders unsweet though and adds sugar to taste. The sweet tea they sell is mostly for kids and old ladies.
