Hmm...
Not sure if I should give that a try or not. Would I get too used to the sweetness and want it all the time?
I honestly like unsweetened Iced Tea. Although, I do sometimes add honey.

I don't know what you would get used to.
I do know that I drink a gallon of tea every two-three days, and that saves a ton on overpriced pop.

Honestly, the prices amaze me.
Come buy this drink that has absolutely no health benefits and is actually one of the worst things you can put into your body. All that and we're going to make it ridiculously overpriced based on the cost to make it.
I've seen and I think posted here at least one medical journal calling it, "the single worst food product a woman can consume". It's got to do with having a really negative effect on bones, which women are already prone to such things.

I've heard this was misinterpreted info. As in, they drank more pop and less milk. Less milk affected bone density. Something like that. So it wasn't really the intake of pop, but the reduced intake of good things.

Looked it up:
One of the main ingredients in soda, phosphoric acid, is thought to leach calcium out of bones, potentially leading to osteoporosis. In addition, women who drink soda tend to drink less milk, decreasing their consumption of bone-building calcium, to begin with.
There is also these fun things:
-Premature aging. Researchers estimated that drinking 20 ounces of soda per day caused an accelerated appearance in age of just over 4 1/2 years, according to findings published in the American Journal of Public Health.
-Drinking too much soda can lower potassium levels, resulting in irregular heartbeat function.
-Women who consume soda on a regular basis have an elevated risk of gout, possibly attributed to the associated sugar intake.
-Soda consumption by females has been attributed to lowered fertility.[/list]
