Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If it isn't sweet to you, you're making it wrong. As some of the other commenters have said, assuming you're talking about Southern style sweet tea, the stuff uses so much sugar that it will not dissolve unless it's added while the water is still hot, like 1 or 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea was what my family used growing up, but some places will literally cram in double the sugar content of coca cola from what I've heard. Sweetener packets just ain't gonna cut it.
That being said, while I grew up with and love the stuff (though try to drink it only occationally and make it with sucralose now, because it's a truly ridiculous amount of sugar to consume as one's main beverage), I think you'll find your view less unpopular than you think, except among Americans (especially southerners). I remember being surprised to learn growing up from some foreign classmates that it's considered something of an acquired taste, if you didn't grow up with it, there's a pretty decent chance you won't like it, to my understanding.
You can dissolve about 2 cups of sugar in into one cup of boiling water.
