@@captainraven41 Well yeah, but if the question is whether or not you can carry around a jug of tea with you, yes you can. But then again, there has to be a few screws loose with someone who willingly drinks unsweet tea, so maybe we ought to just leave the jug to ol' Si.
After watching this episode, I bought a gallon of Milo's Sweet Tea while visiting family. Let's just say, I finished the whole gallon by myself in a few days. So yummy. :)
I was in Walmart once & I heard some fella yell, “Hey! Youse guys want an Arizona sweet tea? We’re in Texas now; we should drink what they do!” *insert northern accent* And an old Texas woman said, “Hush your mouth, young man. We don’t drink that garbage. Go get you a gallon of Milo’s.” I about died laughing.

As a British person that stayed in the South for over a year, the difference between a good sweet iced tea and a bad one for me is. Bad sweet teas just taste like British tea, with sugar and no milk, that's been left to go cold. Good sweet teas actually taste like they're a different drink altogether, and you can't stop drinking the stuff.
@@rayjohnson2387 Yeah, I might be an outcast, but I don't really like "British tea". Despite the stereotype. I prefer coffee. As far as teas go, british tea is pretty underwhelming. Prefer a herbal tea, green tea or something you're supposed to drink black, like Lapsang Souchong.
@@txgunguy2766 once I was at a bridal shower and the bride-to-be asked if anyone had a knife to open a package. Then she asked why in the world I had a knife when I offered her mine. Why would you ask for one if you think it'd be crazy for someone to actually have one? 😂

To be honest, I love Arizona sweet tea. I'm a fan of lemon and other sour flavors, so the slight sourness of Arizona, brisk or peace tea, I really enjoy. I even have Meyer lemon tea in my home that i make on occasion. Ofc I love normal sweet tea as much, but lemon tea is the best imo
When bottled Milo's expanded into sales in TN, I was in middle school. Everyone always tried to trade lunches with me when I had Milo's in my lunchbox. Obviously I never traded, so I'd sit back and slowly sip on it whilst pitying the peasants who had milk. My aunt lives in Birmingham, so she took me to an actual Milo's restaurant when I visited for Christmas that year. I was super excited and it did not disappoint.
I live in East Tennessee and the only sweet Tea I grew up drinking is Milos.I have had Gold Peak and other sweet tea brands and they don’t taste right!!!
@@grzesiakart1808 The worst sweet tea I ever had was McDonalds its just sugar water with some tea flavor no scratch that its sugar with water and tea added to it.
One Thanksgiving, we realized nobody brought any sweet tea. I volunteered to go get some. Wal Mart was the only place open and all they had was "Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea". Everything else was sold out. I still haven't lived that down as the guy that brought "the worst sweet tea" to Thanksgiving dinner.
I 100% agree with this ranking. Milo's and Red Diamond are pretty interchangeable. If one is out, I'll get the other. RD is my personal number one, but Milo's is pretty dang solid.
I had pretty much given up on all bottled sweet tea until one day I saw this little red bottle of sweet tea for a dollar at Walmart and I was real thirsty so I got it. Milo's sweet tea is like the only bottled sweet tea I have ever had that is anywhere close to being a proper sweet tea. The only better tea is tea you make yourself.
I live in Louisiana and I don't really get the hype around Milo's sweet tea. I tasted it and it was good, but it was the ok kind of good. Meanwhile, I love Gold Peak, Brisk, and Peace Tea. Milo's just isn't a tea that I would drink everyday
About the Pure Leaf, I have no idea why they put citric acid in there, but I've gotten used to the taste at this point. Honestly, though, the extra sweet flavor is more like normal sweet tea, because it masks the citric acid, though you can still kind of taste it, but it isn't as bad.
Citric acid is used as a stabilizer in drinks and sauces so they can be mass produced and sit on shelves for years without going bad. If you want good tea, look at their ingredient lists, same goes for tomato sauce.
Hello from September, help lol I wanna go back to school(don’t wanna get sick tho, I’d rather stay home and not get sick than go to school and possibly be asympotimatic and get people infected)
But are we, really? Or are we just echoes of a forgotten "before" time merely going about our routine because we don't realize we're ghosts? It's 2020 so anything is possible.
I'm walking through the grocery store and suddenly I came upon a gallon jug of Milo's sweet tea. Before you have a heart attack, I better prepare you that it was Sugar Free. Calm down. All the way home I prayed Milo's was high on your list 'cause it had been three months since I had watched the Sweet Tea rank and it was all a bit fuzzy. I was so happy it was number one on your list AND to address the Sugar Free part, It is dee-lish-us!! For those of us who don't want to go into a diabetic coma, this really hits the spot. Thank you much for the heads up on Milo!
I’m a northerner but was blessed to be around a southerner when I was younger, from Georgia, so I got to experience real southern sweet tea and most people in the north really don’t get it lol
When I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 27, it wasn’t the thought of insulin injections/finger pricks to check my blood sugar for the rest of my life that phased me, it was adjusting to unsweet iced tea that bothered me the most😢 But 27 years later, I have overcome my sweet tea addiction & enjoy my iced tea, unsweet w/lemon every day🥳
I can sympathize. Dr told me I was pre-diabetic so I decided to nip it in the bud. A good way to do this is to either "forget" to put the sugar in or tell yourself you'll drink the first quarter unsweet and sweeten it later. Usually by the time that happens I'm too lazy to get up and put sugar in, so I just end up finishing it all unsweet. One nice thing I found about quitting (or in my case, significantly reducing) sugar is that I used to need a nap after lunch. Now my energy level is even, and a lot of weird physical symptoms I originally attributed to age (I'm 60) are gone now.
A couple years ago, I ordered a peach sweet tea from sonic. I guess there were out of sweet tea..because they gave me an unsweetened tea and poured in about a cup of sugar. Since then, I haven't been able to drink sweet tea. As a woman in the south, I feel I should be able to sue them...
I been drinking unsweet tea since i was 2 before i was diabetic. Granny was from England.... Arkansas. Shedidn't drink unsweet tea either.... 99% of the time but sweet tea was a treat. Probably because the 117f with 30% humidity in central California didn't lead to much sugar drinks to kill the thirst. I don't drink sweet tea. No one in my family does except special occasions. Also pure tea is good tea. unsweet tea. Never had sweet tea.
While I really prefer Sweet Tea when I'm sittin' around socializing, when I'm working outside in the hot South Florida summers, I have to switch to unsweet. I usually go through about a gallon each of unsweet tea, Gatorade, and water per day - with *NO* bathroom breaks! Yeh I sweat a lot...
When I lived in Maine I was obsessed with Arizona sweet tea and thought they were the best. Then I moved to South Carolina and tried REAL sweet tea (including sun tea) and I cannot drink Arizona's anymore. They taste absolutely terrible now and I've realized how wrong I was also those years.
It is definitely difficult to even get proper sweet tea in Maine. In his top 3, I can only get Gold Peak. The Pure Leaf Sweet Tea tastes decent to me, but when he mentioned the dirt/pieces taste, I can see that. I will drink black iced tea too, so perhaps that's why I don't mind that one, even though it is probably lame by sweet tea standards. The only Arizona I don't mind is the green tea and the 1/2 and 1/2 Lite Arnold Palmer. However, some newer green teas have come on the market in recent years that highlight how bad the green tea is too. They are definitely "fake" teas.
Here in Missouri, which has influences from the South, but also the Midwest, some like sweet tea and some do not. My mom’s side of the family is from Arkansas and Mississippi, so I’ve had many Southern foods. I love sweet tea. Never had Milo’s until about 8 years ago. It became my go-to drink when going to the grocery store in the little town where I work. Red Diamond is also good, and I’ve brought a gallon to get togethers. Gold Peak’s okay, but a little weak. I think his reviews were spot on. The reason the other teas fail is because they add lemon flavor where it doesn’t belong. It’s like they took unsweetened tea, added lemon flavor (which if they stopped there would probably be okay if you like unsweetened tea), and then they added sugar. It would be like having strawberry milk (which isn’t my thing, but I understand why some like it), and then adding pickle juice to it. You’ll never catch me with any of the nas-teas. Red Diamond or Milo’s. If someone gave me a Gold Peak and that was the only option, I’d drink it. I wouldn’t pay for it. By the way, I went to California for work a few years ago and asked for a sweet tea at a chain restaurant, where in Missouri I’ve ordered sweet tea with no problems, and I was told they don’t make sweet tea in California. I appreciated the honesty. If you can’t make good sweet tea, just stick to what you know.
I had never heard of Milo’s tea, but discovered it at Walmart when I lived in SC for a few years. It was the best tea I’ve ever tasted! Of course, I’ve not been able to find it now that I’m back up North. Ahhh! I miss the South!! Never thought I would like living in the South, but I fell in love with it.
My youth pastor brought Arizona sweet tea to a party since he knew me and my sister liked sweet tea. I gave him a look, but still drank it because he went out of his way to buy it.
I would say that the longer the expiration date, the more preservatives it has in it. Edit to say: while I was listening to the video he was seeming to say the longer the expiration the better. I was just pointing out that it will suck if the expiration date is super long and not to bother. Thanks to all the folks who felt the need to make me look stupid.
@@user-ok8yq6nc6x Correct. I was meaning to look for a bottle with the least amount of ingredients. Besides if you watch the video, Matt was acting if the longer the date the better it was. It was actually the other way around.
I'm from Southeast Alabama (Dothan). I married a Marine & moved to California for 4 years. When my parents came to visit we went out to eat & my Daddy ordered a sweet tea. The waitress brought him Raspberry tea! 🤣 He called her back over and explained what sweet tea is & then ordered a Coke.
Eyyyyyyy! I love Dothan. There’s a paintball field just outside the circle that I love to visit, that and the peanut festival was a yearly tradition, just have to visit.
You guys are so dorky about your sugar water. Only Americans will take something as healthy as tea, completely adulterate the concept and turn it into one of the most harmful drinks regularly consumed in the southern US
They contain sucralose. They have some half-and-half varieties that I think are decent if you're going to be out in the hot sun all day and want something that has a little bit of real sugar but not too much. It lives in some strange intermediate space between "soft drink" and "sports beverage." I wouldn't compare it to a regular bottled tea.
The tea at Milo's restaurants is M U C H better than the bottled version. Milo's folks sold off the bottling part of the company and it tastes like mud! Look at the ick in the bottom of a gallon jug at the grocery store. If y'all can ever go to a Publix grocery store, buy a gallon of their regular sweet tea. It is absolutely awesome! I used to be a die-hard Milo's fan but now only drink it from the restaurant itself.
6:10 as a Floridian we mess with Texas and we don't have to say don't mess with Florida! Just ask yourself... Do you want to go to war with Florida Man? 😂😂😂
"This is the worst Bless Your Rank ever" I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt. Bottled/Canned sweet tea is disgusting. Make it fresh, don't let it boil, keep it in the fridge, and drink it within 48 hours.
I am not southern but milos showed up here in the last few years and it was recommended by a friend of mine from Tennessee and as a filthy northwesterner I love it.
As a fellow Texan myself Milo's will always be my sweet tea of choice over any brand I purchase the regular, extra sweet, lemonade and rasberry by the gallons, half gallon and pints. Milo's will always be Texas State Drink, fun fact did y'all know that my great and beautiful state had her own Embassey in London England if y'all do believe I highly recommended y'all look it up.
Red diamond is my love/hate relationship tea. It’s either amazing or just average. Gold peak is my favorite but it’s because I’ve never seen milos here in Texas otherwise I think I’d like it more.
How about a bless your rank potluck style where you have people bring in their favorite potluck dish and Matt has to rank them? You could do it as one of your live feed events.
This would have to be done regionally. There are way too many standard potluck dishes. In Van Zandt county Texas it's chicken spaghetti but it's different in other places. It would be hard to compare chicken spaghetti against, say, fried chicken salad or something like that.
@@canoslo6126 true. I'm already laughing at that one dish somebody always brings to a potluck whose main ingredient is past idenitfying and is covered in some type of " cream of ____" soup and a bunch of cheese to hide it. Id like to hear his take on it.
Rivka I married a Midwesterner. I did not grow up with Jello salads, but Jello salads are HUGE in the Midwest. Every potluck has a selection of miscellaneous sometimes unidentifiable substances covered in goo - just like those casseroles you mentioned only without the cheese sauce. Lol
Super Geek .....I am not a big Green Tea drinker, but I love Publix’s Diet Green Tea!! Maybe I have gotten use to the taste of diet drinks, but I don’t really think I could tell on this one.
My mom buys Publix tea for Thanksgiving dinner now. She's getting up in age and says I just better be thankful that she buys the one with sugar, cuz she rather get the unsweet and add the Sweet n Low, per doctor's orders. I say Oh, lawd, gimme tha sugar. lol
I am late to the party, but yes Milo’s is the best bottled tea ever (in my Southern opinion). Instant grits, canned biscuits, and store bought pie might be the sins in the South, but Milo’s bottled tea is quite acceptable when Grandma is busy in her presidential duties. Love what y’all are doing!
Live in pa and I Literally just got Milo’s and tried it today at the beginning of this episode and I could tell just by the smell it’s amazing. We have a lot of different tea’s around here
Joshua Wells milos is the best I’m on a diet for a weight loss surgery because I have lived so southern my whole life and I’m kind of big lol and milos even makes a diet sweet tea that is amazing
From a northerner’s perspective, I’d change some of these around. Admittedly, I’ve never had Red Diamond so I can’t speak to that. I would go 1)Milo’s 2)Gold Peak 3)Pure Leaf 4)Peace Tea 5)Arizona, then a chasm of space before 6)Brisk. Truly a foul beverage in my opinion. I don’t think Pure Leaf is great, but I do think it tastes less chemical-y than the ones below it. I need to try to find red Diamond to try it out.
This is my favorite episode of Bless Your Rank, both because of Matt's hilarious reactions to the bad tea and the great set up on that jab about Alabama drivers.
"I'm the best driver even though I'm driving backward, because I'm in Alabama!" Truer words never spoken! Lord help those who teach driver's ed in Alabama because one day I'm coming for you!!!!!!
I agree with you 100% on all of these I've tried them all And most are nasty My favorite is Milo's if I can't have homemade, Kroger brand sweet tea will also work.
@@MissNumbledore :) My first car, back in the early 80s was a 76 Chevy Impala that overheated often. It was all I could afford, and every now and then, when it was really bad, you'd turn the heater on because the old cars ran a second radiator off of the engine coolant, and one of those connections would "pop" and spray coolant through the vents, or you'd be on the highway, and the coolant mist would come from under the hood and through the open windows. :) I have no idea how my generation survived to see the internet.
Love Milo! I don't drink soft drinks and can't stand a lot of sugar, too sweet. Right amount of sweetness. Can only find at the pig. Stopped and got a couple for the road
I totally agree with the rankings. Red Diamond and Milo's are really good. I think I give the edge to Red Diamond a little. Still sweet but you also really have that tea flavor.
Matt, your pleasant Southern charm and mannerisms remind me of my friend and former roommate who moved to Virginia a few years ago. He comes up to Minneapolis (in warmer weather) for work a few times in the year for work but I have to binge watch Bless Your Rank in between to refill my psychological glass of Sweet Tea Personality
When my grandmother would refill the tea pitcher she kept in the refrigerator without dumping out the last batch and washing the pitcher, several times in a row, it would gradually develop a flavor i always thought of as "yeasty". Like , a few times I think it may actually have been fermenting. Arizona has that same kind of "have you washed the lines, like, EVER?" flavor to their sweet tea. (Some of their others are okay; the ginseng in particular used to be really good when it came in the cobalt blue glass bottles.) And the reason several of them are sour is that they add something to make it taste lemony, because lemon covers a multitude of sins (I can even stand some drinks made with Satan's taint sweat, aka "non-nutritive sweeteners", when they also contain lemon, though of course the Holy Trinity of sucrose/fructose/glucose is much better.)
What should Matt try next on Bless Your Rank?
It's a Southern Thing premade roux or roux mix for gumbo!
It's a Southern Thing signature grilled chicken sandwiches? 👀
BBQ Sauce, he needs to try the brand "Head Country" from Oklahoma though!
Barbecue Chips!!
Biscuits from a can (name brands & store brands). Breakfast sausages. Hush puppies, fried shrimp or fish with remoulade or tarter sauce, fried fish sandwiches, lemonade, pimento cheese, cheese balls or cheese spreads, diet sweet tea, diet sodas, biscuits with sausage gravy, frozen pizzas, sweet potato fries, deviled eggs (have cast members make their best recipe), hot dogs, baloney or fried baloney sandwiches (maybe some are better as is while others better fried), pork rinds, fast food/restaurant/made from box or packet mashed potatoes & gravy, BBQ ribs - pork & beef, BBQ sauces, restaurant/fast food pancakes, BBQ or baked beans, pralines, Moonpies vs Moonpie knock-offs, Key Lime pies/desserts/drinks. Foods from the North: New England clam chowders, Boston baked beans, Buffalo chicken wings or wing sauce, Philly cheesesteaks, Tastykake products, NY cheesecake (something from NYC, Juniors, frozen, local bakery/restaurant, made from a mix or no bake recipe), scrapple (might make bottled sweet tea seem not so bad & get the Scottish guy to join).

One Thanksgiving, we realized nobody brought any sweet tea. I volunteered to go get some. Wal Mart was the only place open and all they had was "Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea". Everything else was sold out. I still haven't lived that down as the guy that brought "the worst sweet tea" to Thanksgiving dinner.
I 100% agree with this ranking. Milo's and Red Diamond are pretty interchangeable. If one is out, I'll get the other. RD is my personal number one, but Milo's is pretty dang solid.
RD used to be terrible
They’ve stepped their game up the past few years
I had pretty much given up on all bottled sweet tea until one day I saw this little red bottle of sweet tea for a dollar at Walmart and I was real thirsty so I got it. Milo's sweet tea is like the only bottled sweet tea I have ever had that is anywhere close to being a proper sweet tea. The only better tea is tea you make yourself.
Bless Matt for going through that pain for our entertainment and bottled tea education.
The fact that he said we’ll all be gone by June and the caronavirus is going around. Time traveler.......
I'm from June and I can tell you were not fine but we're alive
But there’s a round 2
To future me in 2021 did we make it and did it get better?
Cole Hinds It’ll all be over in November.
Corona was here in January
Of the choices you had, Yes, Milo's is far and away, the best. I just can't believe you didn't include Publix!! That's the gold standard.
Came here to say this.
I live in Louisiana and I don't really get the hype around Milo's sweet tea. I tasted it and it was good, but it was the ok kind of good. Meanwhile, I love Gold Peak, Brisk, and Peace Tea. Milo's just isn't a tea that I would drink everyday
I came here for this comment too... Publix tea is goated...
@@jcoolguy1548you love brisk and peace??? Hiw
Nah publix tea is not goated
About the Pure Leaf, I have no idea why they put citric acid in there, but I've gotten used to the taste at this point. Honestly, though, the extra sweet flavor is more like normal sweet tea, because it masks the citric acid, though you can still kind of taste it, but it isn't as bad.
Citric acid is used as a stabilizer in drinks and sauces so they can be mass produced and sit on shelves for years without going bad.
If you want good tea, look at their ingredient lists, same goes for tomato sauce.
"You can't just carry a gallon of sweet tea around with you" Try telling Si Robertson that.
Thats exactly what I thought!!!
Make you some tea before you leave the house put it in a big old quick trip go cup bottle tea not on your life
Him and his blue cup 🤣

I love his humor!! It's so funny! Every Bless your rank episode I end up laughing out loud and clapping too much. So many good one liners. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😖🖤
I'm walking through the grocery store and suddenly I came upon a gallon jug of Milo's sweet tea. Before you have a heart attack, I better prepare you that it was Sugar Free. Calm down. All the way home I prayed Milo's was high on your list 'cause it had been three months since I had watched the Sweet Tea rank and it was all a bit fuzzy. I was so happy it was number one on your list AND to address the Sugar Free part, It is dee-lish-us!! For those of us who don't want to go into a diabetic coma, this really hits the spot. Thank you much for the heads up on Milo!
This episode should be called “Bless You, Matt.”
Yup lol
Says prayers all your life then get mummifed, we got some ice tea coming to calm Matt's stife.
Milo’s, Red Diamond, and Publix tea. The Holy Trinity of Southern tea.
Walmart blue-lid ain't bad either.
Lousianne isn't that bad.
Milos and Publux or bust! Side note: Publix Peach tea is pretty great
Haven't tried Publix. How does it compare to Milos?
@@blakeromo they don't have Publix Tea in some areas like North Carolina or Virginia.
I’m a northerner but was blessed to be around a southerner when I was younger, from Georgia, so I got to experience real southern sweet tea and most people in the north really don’t get it lol
Sweet tea was my first love; when I moved to Texas. I'm from Hawaii, but I've grown to love Texas. And the South as s whole.
"If this one's bad, I quit"
*while about to drink Brisk*
Me: Oh, honey, NO!
IKR. You think you hated that last one, here's a tea that tastes like watered down cough syrup.
Brisk tea sucks
Where I live you can only buy the bottom three. I thought I hated sweet tea for over a decade, then a southerner made me try the real thing.
NOOOOOOOO!
@@alsinakiria surprisingly the canadian ones aren't too bad.
Arizona tea doesn't even need refrigeration. Its tea flavored Koolaid.
from his reaction, I'm not even sure its tea flavored
no it’s pretty foul
No thats insulting to kool-aide
A lot of Arizona tea is made in Lakeland Florida at a factory that is know as the juice bowl. I would deliver about 10 loads of cans a day to them.
It really is tho
It is July 3 years from now and surprisingly we are still here
Milo's tastes exactly like the tea my grandma always made, it takes me right back to my childhood visiting their farm
When I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 27, it wasn’t the thought of insulin injections/finger pricks to check my blood sugar for the rest of my life that phased me, it was adjusting to unsweet iced tea that bothered me the most😢 But 27 years later, I have overcome my sweet tea addiction & enjoy my iced tea, unsweet w/lemon every day🥳
I salute to your suffering🤧
I can sympathize. Dr told me I was pre-diabetic so I decided to nip it in the bud. A good way to do this is to either "forget" to put the sugar in or tell yourself you'll drink the first quarter unsweet and sweeten it later. Usually by the time that happens I'm too lazy to get up and put sugar in, so I just end up finishing it all unsweet. One nice thing I found about quitting (or in my case, significantly reducing) sugar is that I used to need a nap after lunch. Now my energy level is even, and a lot of weird physical symptoms I originally attributed to age (I'm 60) are gone now.
A couple years ago, I ordered a peach sweet tea from sonic. I guess there were out of sweet tea..because they gave me an unsweetened tea and poured in about a cup of sugar. Since then, I haven't been able to drink sweet tea. As a woman in the south, I feel I should be able to sue them...
I been drinking unsweet tea since i was 2 before i was diabetic. Granny was from England.... Arkansas. Shedidn't drink unsweet tea either.... 99% of the time but sweet tea was a treat. Probably because the 117f with 30% humidity in central California didn't lead to much sugar drinks to kill the thirst. I don't drink sweet tea. No one in my family does except special occasions.
Also pure tea is good tea. unsweet tea. Never had sweet tea.
While I really prefer Sweet Tea when I'm sittin' around socializing, when I'm working outside in the hot South Florida summers, I have to switch to unsweet. I usually go through about a gallon each of unsweet tea, Gatorade, and water per day - with *NO* bathroom breaks!
Yeh I sweat a lot...
When I lived in Maine I was obsessed with Arizona sweet tea and thought they were the best. Then I moved to South Carolina and tried REAL sweet tea (including sun tea) and I cannot drink Arizona's anymore. They taste absolutely terrible now and I've realized how wrong I was also those years.
It is definitely difficult to even get proper sweet tea in Maine. In his top 3, I can only get Gold Peak. The Pure Leaf Sweet Tea tastes decent to me, but when he mentioned the dirt/pieces taste, I can see that. I will drink black iced tea too, so perhaps that's why I don't mind that one, even though it is probably lame by sweet tea standards. The only Arizona I don't mind is the green tea and the 1/2 and 1/2 Lite Arnold Palmer. However, some newer green teas have come on the market in recent years that highlight how bad the green tea is too. They are definitely "fake" teas.
Don't lie, Melanie. You only drink water.
Arizona is fucking great, the sour taste is a feature. But I consider that kinda 'tea drink' to be another thing that isn't tea
Here in Missouri, which has influences from the South, but also the Midwest, some like sweet tea and some do not. My mom’s side of the family is from Arkansas and Mississippi, so I’ve had many Southern foods. I love sweet tea. Never had Milo’s until about 8 years ago. It became my go-to drink when going to the grocery store in the little town where I work. Red Diamond is also good, and I’ve brought a gallon to get togethers. Gold Peak’s okay, but a little weak. I think his reviews were spot on.
The reason the other teas fail is because they add lemon flavor where it doesn’t belong. It’s like they took unsweetened tea, added lemon flavor (which if they stopped there would probably be okay if you like unsweetened tea), and then they added sugar. It would be like having strawberry milk (which isn’t my thing, but I understand why some like it), and then adding pickle juice to it.
You’ll never catch me with any of the nas-teas. Red Diamond or Milo’s. If someone gave me a Gold Peak and that was the only option, I’d drink it. I wouldn’t pay for it.
By the way, I went to California for work a few years ago and asked for a sweet tea at a chain restaurant, where in Missouri I’ve ordered sweet tea with no problems, and I was told they don’t make sweet tea in California. I appreciated the honesty. If you can’t make good sweet tea, just stick to what you know.

I had never heard of Milo’s tea, but discovered it at Walmart when I lived in SC for a few years. It was the best tea I’ve ever tasted! Of course, I’ve not been able to find it now that I’m back up North. Ahhh! I miss the South!! Never thought I would like living in the South, but I fell in love with it.
My youth pastor brought Arizona sweet tea to a party since he knew me and my sister liked sweet tea. I gave him a look, but still drank it because he went out of his way to buy it.
My Dad keeps a cooler in the back of his truck with a gallon of homemade sweet tea in it at all times
Only way to go.
That's what I said make it at home take it with you. Bottled tea never
I feel this Bless your Rank in my soul. When Matt picked up that Arizona tea and the brisk, I knew what horror awaited him.
Kiki Bee Brisk should be illegal
Me too.
I've never tried either, but pure leaf is one of the few drinks I didn't finish because it was so bad.
Fil Am I’ll drink gold peak, Milo’s, Red Diamond and publix. The rest of them aren’t fit for human consumption.
“You can’t just carry around a pitcher of sweet tea all the time”
Uncle si disagrees. and thats a fact jack
The brisk failure shocked me. I always loved it. Guess I need a reality check.
It's not bad to me either. But I always get the one with the blue label. I make sure it's straight tea. I don't want anything else in it.
I would say that the longer the expiration date, the more preservatives it has in it.
Edit to say: while I was listening to the video he was seeming to say the longer the expiration the better. I was just pointing out that it will suck if the expiration date is super long and not to bother. Thanks to all the folks who felt the need to make me look stupid.
Well yeah that's what preservatives do it's in the name
@@user-ok8yq6nc6x Correct. I was meaning to look for a bottle with the least amount of ingredients. Besides if you watch the video, Matt was acting if the longer the date the better it was. It was actually the other way around.
Johanna Lilly he said the exact opposite the entire video open your ears
@@iitzcak3494 I guess I miss interpreted what he said.
@@dicesof8 That's what I thought he was saying, too.
Bad sweet tea does things too ya. No there’s no such thing as bad sweet tea. It’s just plain old NAS-tea. 🥤
Lol i lol'd at his comment "nastea"
This video truly was a public service, thank you for doing this for us so that we don’t have too.
I'm from Southeast Alabama (Dothan). I married a Marine & moved to California for 4 years. When my parents came to visit we went out to eat & my Daddy ordered a sweet tea. The waitress brought him Raspberry tea! 🤣 He called her back over and explained what sweet tea is & then ordered a Coke.
Hi from hartford,
Eyyyyyyy! I love Dothan. There’s a paintball field just outside the circle that I love to visit, that and the peanut festival was a yearly tradition, just have to visit.
You guys are so dorky about your sugar water. Only Americans will take something as healthy as tea, completely adulterate the concept and turn it into one of the most harmful drinks regularly consumed in the southern US
@ryanthelion408
I won't deny that fact. But dang, it is sooo good! 😊
@@ryanthelion408 I mean the most unhealthy part of tea is the caffeine not the sugar.
Also cheap digs at Americans is just *sooo* cool right.

I found Milo’s on a road trip through AL and it’s the savior. All we have in NC gas stations is the soap nasteas. We need Milo’s here! Please expand.
Red Rose ice tea was a great super market brand: 1970s 1980s. I got it often as a teen, 20s.
I'm from Texas and I've never heard of "Peace" sweet tea. Now I know why. How dare they!
I think only the Austin trash drinks it LOL
They contain sucralose. They have some half-and-half varieties that I think are decent if you're going to be out in the hot sun all day and want something that has a little bit of real sugar but not too much. It lives in some strange intermediate space between "soft drink" and "sports beverage." I wouldn't compare it to a regular bottled tea.
I live near Amarillo and that stuff is sold everywhere over here
As a Texan, I'm seriously offended.
@@gooneegoogoo123 no.
Milo’s is all that matters. We even have it in Oregon
It's sold at my wonderful southern, alabama school
@willow84 and north Carolina we have it
The tea at Milo's restaurants is M U C H better than the bottled version. Milo's folks sold off the bottling part of the company and it tastes like mud! Look at the ick in the bottom of a gallon jug at the grocery store. If y'all can ever go to a Publix grocery store, buy a gallon of their regular sweet tea. It is absolutely awesome! I used to be a die-hard Milo's fan but now only drink it from the restaurant itself.
Wow milos is available in Oregon that's cool, it's made here in Alabama, it's good, I thought it was probably regional south east

He didn't say which June...maybe it'll be June of 2023.
If this lasts for all of the 2020s, I'm going to be disappointed.
"This is the worst Bless Your Rank ever" I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt. Bottled/Canned sweet tea is disgusting. Make it fresh, don't let it boil, keep it in the fridge, and drink it within 48 hours.
I actually boil the water then drop in 10 bags and turn the burner off and let it set for 20 minutes. Works for me.
During the summer, I put 2 tea bag in 4 c water and leave it in hot sun 🌞 till dawn. Refigerate.
@@eg1197 do you mean "til dusk"?
I make sun tea occasionally but it comes in at dark.
@@pbkayakyer silly me 😌 dawn.. dusk... Both start with a D. Ty for correction.
I boil mine in a big pot and then I drop about 12 bags in. Keep it in the fridge overnight. 🤗
I like Turkey Hill tea and ice cream. They just make some really good stuff.
I am not southern but milos showed up here in the last few years and it was recommended by a friend of mine from Tennessee and as a filthy northwesterner I love it.
Milos makes the BEST tea, didn’t know it was a restaurant though. I need to take a road trip!
What!?!? Milo's sauce is where it's at!
Milos teas are hard to find around here but my school sells them for lunch
Chile, you don't know what you're missing! The best one is the one near Hoover. That one near UAB don't do right lol.
You haven’t tried great tea untill you get it fresh from restaurant
They also have the best fries in the B'ham metro area.
“I give us until June”
*laughs nervously in June*
Lol
As a fellow Texan myself Milo's will always be my sweet tea of choice over any brand I purchase the regular, extra sweet, lemonade and rasberry by the gallons, half gallon and pints. Milo's will always be Texas State Drink, fun fact did y'all know that my great and beautiful state had her own Embassey in London England if y'all do believe I highly recommended y'all look it up.
Red diamond is my love/hate relationship tea. It’s either amazing or just average. Gold peak is my favorite but it’s because I’ve never seen milos here in Texas otherwise I think I’d like it more.
How about a bless your rank potluck style where you have people bring in their favorite potluck dish and Matt has to rank them? You could do it as one of your live feed events.
This would have to be done regionally. There are way too many standard potluck dishes. In Van Zandt county Texas it's chicken spaghetti but it's different in other places. It would be hard to compare chicken spaghetti against, say, fried chicken salad or something like that.
Rivka I see your point, but I doubt that would stop Matt from having a good time with it! 😆
@@canoslo6126 true. I'm already laughing at that one dish somebody always brings to a potluck whose main ingredient is past idenitfying and is covered in some type of " cream of ____" soup and a bunch of cheese to hide it. Id like to hear his take on it.
Rivka I married a Midwesterner. I did not grow up with Jello salads, but Jello salads are HUGE in the Midwest. Every potluck has a selection of miscellaneous sometimes unidentifiable substances covered in goo - just like those casseroles you mentioned only without the cheese sauce. Lol
I (personally) like Publix's sweet tea. Yum.
Super Geek .....I am not a big Green Tea drinker, but I love Publix’s Diet Green Tea!! Maybe I have gotten use to the taste of diet drinks, but I don’t really think I could tell on this one.
All of Publix tea is good! I love the green tea, the sweet tea, the unsweet tea the diet green, and they're expensive brand lemongrass and Sage!
My mom buys Publix tea for Thanksgiving dinner now. She's getting up in age and says I just better be thankful that she buys the one with sugar, cuz she rather get the unsweet and add the Sweet n Low, per doctor's orders. I say Oh, lawd, gimme tha sugar. lol
@Tumbleweed what about Stevia or Spendra or Monkfruit?
@@eg1197 believe he was talking about the products flooded with Aspartame, Erythritol, or Xylithol.
I got a gallon of Milos in the fridge right now. Great tea!
I am late to the party, but yes Milo’s is the best bottled tea ever (in my Southern opinion). Instant grits, canned biscuits, and store bought pie might be the sins in the South, but Milo’s bottled tea is quite acceptable when Grandma is busy in her presidential duties.
Love what y’all are doing!
Southerners aren’t fat they’re just carrying around liters of sweet tea with a full body suit.
Wait a Minute
As a Floridian, I'm disappointed that Publix sweet tea was not included
SO TRUE
I'm sorry Matt but this is my favorite episode of Bless Your Rank.
Live in pa and I Literally just got Milo’s and tried it today at the beginning of this episode and I could tell just by the smell it’s amazing. We have a lot of different tea’s around here
Bless your heart. GET THIS MAN AS MUCH MILO'S SWEET TEA AS HE CAN DRINK!
Joshua Wells milos is the best I’m on a diet for a weight loss surgery because I have lived so southern my whole life and I’m kind of big lol and milos even makes a diet sweet tea that is amazing

Heather Cutler idk about prefer but it definitely fulfills my sweet tea craving
Joshua Wells .....Lmao !!
“I can do all things through christ who strengthens me” *sips northern tea* OK EXCEPT FOR THAT 🤣🤣🤣
From a northerner’s perspective, I’d change some of these around. Admittedly, I’ve never had Red Diamond so I can’t speak to that. I would go 1)Milo’s 2)Gold Peak 3)Pure Leaf 4)Peace Tea 5)Arizona, then a chasm of space before 6)Brisk. Truly a foul beverage in my opinion. I don’t think Pure Leaf is great, but I do think it tastes less chemical-y than the ones below it. I need to try to find red Diamond to try it out.
This is my favorite episode of Bless Your Rank, both because of Matt's hilarious reactions to the bad tea and the great set up on that jab about Alabama drivers.
"I'm the best driver even though I'm driving backward, because I'm in Alabama!" Truer words never spoken! Lord help those who teach driver's ed in Alabama because one day I'm coming for you!!!!!!
I agree with you 100% on all of these I've tried them all And most are nasty
My favorite is Milo's if I can't have homemade, Kroger brand sweet tea will also work.
I started drinking Arizona in high school when I could get a tall can for an affordable 99 cents. The lemon aftertaste grew on me and now I prefer it.
:) That aftertaste of Arizona "Southern Style" sweet tea, to me, tastes like antifreeze. The polypropylene-glycol kind.
Hmmmm. We are pretty picky and like Arizona. But I think we do not do that flavor.
Why’d you taste antifreeze though...
@@MissNumbledore :) My first car, back in the early 80s was a 76 Chevy Impala that overheated often. It was all I could afford, and every now and then, when it was really bad, you'd turn the heater on because the old cars ran a second radiator off of the engine coolant, and one of those connections would "pop" and spray coolant through the vents, or you'd be on the highway, and the coolant mist would come from under the hood and through the open windows.
:) I have no idea how my generation survived to see the internet.

"Fly an American flag in your front yard...ROLL TIDE!!!!" YES!!!! Preach!!
Arizona is for Green Tea, there’s also an arnold palmer, which is pretty good
We all know Milo’s is the best
I’ve been wanting to try Milos but always afraid it’s bad. But now, I’m going to definitely try.
FrontLineTexan 21 exactly.
Red Diamond, Milo's is (I know this is sacrilege here in the south but) too sweet and Gold peak is too weak.
There is no competition
Love Milo! I don't drink soft drinks and can't stand a lot of sugar, too sweet. Right amount of sweetness. Can only find at the pig. Stopped and got a couple for the road
The pure leaf brought out his raging disappointment and I love that he takes this so seriously
Tea in the South IS a very serious thing.
I totally agree with the rankings. Red Diamond and Milo's are really good. I think I give the edge to Red Diamond a little. Still sweet but you also really have that tea flavor.
6:12 i-
okay true tho. 😂
Matt: "I have been hurt. Physically and emotionally."
Me: I am hut watching you be hurt.
Matt, your pleasant Southern charm and mannerisms remind me of my friend and former roommate who moved to Virginia a few years ago. He comes up to Minneapolis (in warmer weather) for work a few times in the year for work but I have to binge watch Bless Your Rank in between to refill my psychological glass of Sweet Tea Personality
When my grandmother would refill the tea pitcher she kept in the refrigerator without dumping out the last batch and washing the pitcher, several times in a row, it would gradually develop a flavor i always thought of as "yeasty". Like , a few times I think it may actually have been fermenting. Arizona has that same kind of "have you washed the lines, like, EVER?" flavor to their sweet tea. (Some of their others are okay; the ginseng in particular used to be really good when it came in the cobalt blue glass bottles.) And the reason several of them are sour is that they add something to make it taste lemony, because lemon covers a multitude of sins (I can even stand some drinks made with Satan's taint sweat, aka "non-nutritive sweeteners", when they also contain lemon, though of course the Holy Trinity of sucrose/fructose/glucose is much better.)
I really like gold peak extra sweet. I got so excited when I started finding 6packs in grocery stores
This taste test should be illegal under the Geneva Convention! This is just plain torture! 😂😂😂

Bad sweet tea could be considered biochemical warfare! It might even start another Civil War! 😄
