Sweet tea is best consumed on a hot, humid, sunny day over a glass of ice. It hits on a different level then.
Agreed.
It’s always good but you’re right there’s nothing like it on that kind of day.
A shame UK only gets 2 of those days per year!! ;)
This is a scientific fact.
And fresh brewed. It goes syrupy fast.
So glad you guys enjoyed your beverages! The Blenheim Ginger Ale is brewed here in South Carolina about 40 miles from where I live. I sent you a cheat sheet through email describing each thing. Hopefully you can go back and find it, so it can help in future videos. You made my day!
Glad you enjoyed it Sue and thanks again for sending the package it’s very much appreciated. We will check our emails for the cheat sheet you mentioned and we will be doing more very soon so watch this space.
Cheers, Mike 👍🏻😁
14yrs ago when I moved from NJ to SC, discovered Blenheim Ginger Ale. Blown away with how amazing the bite was of the ginger. Also discovered Cheerwine & have gotten my northern relatives hooked on Cheerwine.
I live in NC and Blenheim is way too hot for me, it is nothing like Canada Dry. Blenheim began being made from spring water in the town of the same name and is now bottled in Dillon County near South of the Border. Of the drinks they tried I like Cheerwine the best. For the best tea they should try Charleston Tea.
@Blake N Blenheim is just made for tourists going to South of the Border - SOB.
As a southerner I'm a huge fan of ice cold sweet tea!
Those are some North Carolina staples. Cheerwine is my #1 drive-through choice at Cook Out.
As a southern I was sitting here with bated breath waiting to hear if y’all like the tea. Bottled tea isn’t the absolute best but the brand she sent you is probably one of the best you can get bottled and bottled is the only one that could handle the journey. It goes bad pretty quickly. I wasn’t expecting it to be a hit though. I would recommend ice in it to give it a true fair chance. 😂😂😂😂
facts
I like your accent
Facts
Jack (Daniels) and Ginger (Ale). Favorite cocktail!
I had that last week when I went to a comedy show. Definitely delicious. I prefer Crown Royal over Jack though.
You mentioned the RC being a 'flat cola' that has to be from shipping because our sodas are super carbonated. Mustve been shaken multiple times
Yeah, one of the reasons I enjoy RC is because of the bite.
When I was in the army we called RC Rotten Crouch Cola
I've also always thought RC tastes like cola that's gone off, but maybe it's just in my area.
@adam loring you find it less carbonated than Coke or Pepsi?
@adam loring That's what it is for me too. It's not the carbonation, it just has a similar taste to flat Pepsi.
Daz mentioned Stewart’s Root beer…Stewart’s is great…Orange Creamsicle is my fav.
There was a change a few years back where they are now required to label serving sizes based on what people consume instead of the fantasy servings they used to use. So things like an ice cream pint, a 20oz soda, a can of soup, or a smaller bag of chips will be an entire serving because that's how they're actually consumed.
RC comes in BIBs (bag in box syrup) like Pepsi and Coke. When I worked at Dr pepper snapple, we sold it in 5 gallon BIBs and the less popular stuff like Country Time Lemonade in 3 gallon BIBs.
Cheerwine is my favorite. It is like a cherry Dr Pepper.
I used to work for 7up and stock stores with 7up and RC. Great stuff. Also that Sundrop has more caffiene in it than any other drinks besides coffee over here. Pretty close to double what Mountain Dew has in it
I'd be willing to be Jolt has more.
@@Watthead80 jolt is only to “Hack The Planet!!!!” Not available for everyone
Cheerwine out of a fountain machine is my favorite! It’s great with vanilla ice cream as!😍
I was coming here to say cheerwine floats are God tier
Lol! All are southern drinks! Sue did good! South Carolina are known for all of these!
We need to send them some Milo's
Hell yeah it’s about time you tried the SunDrop and the cheerwine.. I’m telling you SunDrop on ice and with a whiskey
Hell yeah...I said the same thing...Kannapolis NC 👍
Are you from K-town Patrick?
A very Carolina selection, with both Cheerwine and Sun Drop. I remember RCs as a kid, there was a saying RC Cola and a moon pie. We'd put peanuts in it. Probably got flat from shaking as we don't go for flat sodas. Good memories,
Oh Cheerwine's from my home state: North Carolina. The home base is in Salisbury.
The whole lime/scurvy thing is also why you frequently see lime slices with gin-tonic/soda.
Cheerwine is by far my favorite soda. They have it at some fast food places. It's great with a hot dog or a burger etc. It originated in Salisbury, N.C.
I agree with Daz, sweet tea is best on a hot day, over lots of ice while sitting on a front porch chillin'. Come to Texas, try it here. I'm a hot tea drinker, because of my grandma, but sweet tea is what most people drink.
South Carolina native here thanks for the shoutout!
You needed a Moon Pie with that RC. It's a true Southern thing.
That explains all the southern teeth.
@@willvr4 When you have to explain your joke, ah. They're northerners. I'm an American Southerner. ???
I live and I cant really recall drinking tea. RC was what we were drinking as I grew up in the 70s-80s
The soda syrup you mentioned is the norm here in the US. By adding it with the carbonated water at serving time ensure the soda is never flat.
Yes it's what you get from McDonald's, restaurants etc
The lights make it look like Dave's devil & angel 😂
They should have sent you the classic peach soda. I used to looooove them.
You might like fresh sweet tea if you get the chance to try it sometime. Bottled tea is ok sometimes but just like coffee, fresh brewed is usually better. But it is indeed *sweet* tea lol. For as long as I can remember my mom would brew a gallon at a time, and add 2 cups of sugar for the 1 gallon lol. Great video fellas
you guy's need to pour them over ice for the true American experience
The whole time I was thinking: Are they drinking them room temp? Gross
@@jessicat2149 I think they said they were cold but I just couldn’t help thinking they were warm. 😬
I'm 34 and live in America and I have never once poured a bottle of soda into a glass of ice lol. Also, they said at the beginning that the sodas were cold.
@adam loring I mean Ive definitely put ice in a glass that's had soda in it before, but I've never pour out a single serving bottle of soda into a glass and drank it, that seems pointless if the liquid is cold. Ice just waters down your drink and pouring it out of the bottle releases additional carbonation that makes it go flat. I'm not judging anyone else, just explaining why I don't do it. It just doesn't seem logical to me.
@TexasBBQ Smokehouse I mean, good for those 48 million people? lol. All I am saying is that not every single American likes ice in their drinks or sees any logical sense in doing it if the drink is already cold and you don't want it to be watered down when the ice melts. There are plenty of us that don't.
Sun-Drop is a take off on Mountain Dew , which is a Pepsi product . Coke brought out Mello-Yellow as their version of the Orange Juice based drink .
We actually call all pop and sodas Coke here in the south. “What type of Coke would you like?” “I will take Dr Pepper or Sprite”.
I must be the outcast American who prefers their pop without ice.
It's funny because a lot of southerners including myself have never tried "British Tea". So we would probably have a similar reaction to how different the tea is from what we've come to expect. I'd really like to try tea in the UK though, I think it would be interesting.
Cheerwine is bottled in Salisbury, North Carolina, i live in Salisbury, North Carolina and i love Cheerwine it's a cherry flavored soda it's been around since 1917!
There's a funny scene in the movie Kingpin where Woody Harrelson is chatting with a friend while holding a bag a groceries and the friend says "I have to shit. Give me something to read" and Woody hands him a shampoo bottle and his friend replies "Aw man, I've already read this one". Cracks me up.
I confirm the shampoo bottle thing, haha! I did the same.
As an American from Pennsylvania only RC cola and the sweet tea are in stores near me. The rest are regional. The ginger ale sounds good. I call sodas ..pop.
Are used to also eat bean sprouts. If you can grow in the dark and they last longer than fruit
Milos sweet tea is the only proper mass produced Southern sweet tea. It’s family owned from Alabama….delicious
Thank you!! I’ve been waiting on the SunDrop taste test
We need to get you boys some Ski, I'm not a fan of it, but it's certainly a Southern soda. It's citrus with sassafras. As for the sweet tea, Gold Peak makes an Extra Sweet tea with real cane sugar, that is way better than the kind you tried.
@William Lambert We have it here in Central/Southern Illinois. I've only had regular Ski, none of the other flavors.
@@Watthead80 southern IL stand up! Love Ski!
Vernors ginger ale from Michigan will knock your socks off. Try drinking it from a glass but be careful of the bubbles!
Sundrop is awesome. Used to drink lots of Mt. Dew and tried sundrop yrs ago. That's pretty much all i drink now. I've told ppl that who I play online with and apparently its pretty regional in the US. Sundrop also has more caffeine than Mt. Dew... which is actually why I tried it in the 1st place.. working 12 hr swing shifts lol
I love the Kobe picture in the back.
Sun drop is king. I’m so glad you didn’t try it warm, it tastes very different.
RC and Pepsi both originated in South Carolina, so that could account for the similarities.
i'd say it originated in both North & South Carolina the slogan is "Born in the Carolinas"
I would say most Americans drink tea without milk or cream. Mostly we like lemon or honey in our tea. If I have a cold I have hot tea with a lemon honey cough drop.
You can't have cola without IBC rootbeer, so classic, if you haven't had it you have to try
Sun Drop is absolutely the best soda I’ve ever had
Any Ginger Ale with a spice we would call Ginger Beer.
You can get most of those anywhere in the Country. Especially Golden Peak tea and Mt. Dew (or generic Mt. Dew). We put way too much sugar in nearly everything, or salt.
Our fountain sodas are also in syrup form, in big, heavy steel canisters. It’s hooked up to the carbonation and mixed before coming out of the pump.
Glad to see the try channel back. It's been a few weeks.
Hopefully they will have a bunch more videos soon since I sent them Hot Sauce, Mexican candy and beef jerky
Cheerwine is the best 🙌🏼
I love sweet tea especially that brand is one of the best. My favorite is green tea, but that's an acquired taste. Make sure they are very cold too get the best results.
Sundrop is great, better flavor than Mtn Dew or 7Up or Sprite. It used to be super big with a lot of commercials on TV and what not. Now owned by Cadbury Schweppes of London. LOL the tea reaction, Daz knows at least from living here. That type of tea is huge and about all we drink, I think my pops still takes a jug of tea to work almost daily.
Great vid. You gotta remember in the states we put as much ice that the cup will hold then pour our pop. It changes the flavors a bunch
Strawberry soda when I was kid in the 70s in The Great Lakes it was called "red pop".
Very true, we still say it to this day here in Michigan. It's not soda, it's pop!!
The UK channels I have watched use PO boxes but you have to specify that it has to be sent by USPS and has to be picked up by Royal mail. Otherwise ones like FedEx will get sent back.
I love cheerwine
Did you drink all of those hot? That’s not how you drink a soda fellas. 😂
You need to try Boylan and Stewart's from NYC. Also good is Dry Sparkling Soda.
Iced tea is best made fresh with good quality tea (with or without sugar).
I love Stewarts. Especially the black cherry.
I used to count the letters on the back of a bottle. 15 A's. 25 E's... 😅
"Coke Floats, in Altrincham have changed these days!" As said by Daz was a classic line and one for the archives! Cheers
Shout out to the Carolinas! I am, however, cringing at the lack of ice.
16:24 I've been doing the same thing recently Daz, Maker's Mark and Ginger ale.
Stewarts Root Beer and coffee are soo good
Mike is so fit. Js….
Dr Pepper is a combination of like 20 something soda’s!!! Super good!
Sweet tea is a southern thing, if you go up north and ask for sweet tea they will give you unsweetened tea and a packet of sugar.
We have half of those in Kansas where I live
Kannapolis North Carolina...SunDrop and Sun Drop are bottled right down the road from me...you're supposed to put salted peanuts in you RC
They are both popular as a chasers or mixers...and are better iced
isn't there a sundrop building in Concord, n.c. i'm originally from Concord and remember seeing it
@@williamlambert yes..I am in Kannapolis...the concentrated syrup is made in Texas then shipped to Concord to be bottled
@@pmcollum ahh okay
If you want whiskey and cola, you could have Crown Royal with Royal Crown (RC)!! :-)
Americans drink their soda cold, usually over ice- it changes the flavor considerably.. Sweet tea MUST be over ice---LOL
I can't stand artificial strawberry flavor but I like artificial grape flavor 😋.
I definitely used to read the back of whatever I could find on the toilet lolol
Cheerwine !!
The recipe for Dr. Pepper is split into 3 parts and kept in 3 separate banks here in Texas 🤭🤫
I should send yall the sheetz sodas. They have wild flavors
SC represented!
Ginger ale goes good with Jameson whiskey
I live in Indiana and I have never seen that strawberry soda. Too bad you didn't get some Big Red.
RC=Royal Crown cola.
Yes, I’m serious.
Hey yall, greetings from Missouri! I love your guys' taste test reactions, but one thing has been driving me a little crazy lol! It's a good rule of thumb, especially after somethings been sitting for a bit, to give it a good 2 to 3 shakes or flip it upside down and back over, even if it's a soda, just do it gently. A lot of times all the ingredients separate from sitting still so you only get half of the actual flavor.
Still love the reactions, just try giving drinks a Lil shake next time, maybe you'll even notice the difference yourselves! 🥰🤗
Thank God you got Gold Peak and not garbage Arizona. Arizona's just all syrupy because of the sugar. It's like vaguely tea-flavored fruit punch. At least brands like Pure Leaf and Gold Peak taste something like actual homemade tea haha.
Growing up - when I was a kid - we would just say Tea - everybody knew you wanted iced tea and the only time you said unsweetened - was when you wanted unsweet tea - Now - you say sweet tea - don’t know why that changed -
What happened with Da Bomb? Mike said it was coming and I was looking forward to it. I’ll watch this regardless because my husband is on call.
I'm the one who sent DaBomb along with other hot sauces, Mexican candy and beef jerky. Mike told me that it's been filmed. Dave does the editing but he has been on vacation this past week so Mike said it should be out this coming up week.
Absolutely right Brett, we’ve filmed it already along with some other Tries so it will be on the channel very soon so keep watching Yvette 👍🏻😁
Those brands must be from the Carolina's. I'm from Central New York and have never heard of them. I think we have the sweet tea.
I'm American and haven't even heard of 4 of the 6 lol
The reason that a lot of these things aren’t available in the UK is that US and UK food regulations are very different and a lot of the US food ingredients are outlawed there. 🤷🏽♀️ 🤣
I love RC Cola and believe it to be the perfect compromise between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. It's not as sweet as Pepsi and it's not as syrupy as Coca-Cola.
The 7/11 brand Icea Teas are fire. The Half and Half is legendary.
I only clicked the video because I saw the Kobe painting 🐍🐍🐍
Yeah root beer floats are nationwide. Ever since we had Soda Jerks and Jukeboxes and Drive-Ins, there have been Root Beer Floats.
Try American snacks 🙌
Cheerwine came out in 1917 while Cherry Coke was first sold n 1985.
Gold peak isn’t true sweet tea but it’s probably the best you could get shipped. If you guys ever take a trip to the any of the southern states make sure to try some authentic sweet tea you’ll prob like it a lot more.
Next try our cheesecake
Sweet tea and Cheerwine are awesome. Can anyone guess what state I'm from?
I agree on the Cheerwine lol. My family telles me I am only part southern since I hate iced tea.
My maiden name is Willoughby, so I know about being called a limey. 😉
The south drinks more sweet tea and the north drinks more lemon tea
