Ah, yes. I remember going out to lunch for the first time when I was
on a consulting job in North Carolina. My co-workers cautioned me that
the sweetened tea was syruppy. They wuz right.

Makes me wonder if all the dietary guidelines are wrong -- otherwise
all Southerners over the age of 30 would be type 2 diabetics and weigh
300 lbs.
