Iced tea, in Texas, is always served without sugar. In pretty much everywhere else in the South, it's loaded with sugar unless you specifically ask for it to be otherwise.
In fact, it's not surprising to find unsweetened iced tea unavailable.
I've always been a fan of Dr. Brown's Cream Soda, but it's tough to find outside of New York unless you've got a Jewish deli nearby.
That's weird. Dr. Brown's is in most grocery stores here, albeit certainly not on the levels of Coke. Maybe it's because of the relatively large number of New Yorkers from IBM that moved down here years ago.
