Mickey D's is the only place around here which regularly offers sweet tea. Want
to hazard a guess what they use to sweeten it? None of the restaurants I have
been to here (and I've been to most in this area) offer it.

I know what you mean about sugar taking a lot of stirring to get it to dissolve
in iced liquid. That is the reason that I first began to use Sweet & Low (pink
packets). It dissolves well no matter the temperature of the liquid. Currently
I often just drink my tea straight up ... either hot or iced. Or, maybe a
squeeze of lemon juice - but, still not sweetening.
