You’re lovin’ it — but is it too good to be true?
A McDonald’s employee revealed how their iced tea is made — and claim it’s a lot sweeter than most customer’s might think.
TikTok user @gia2bad claims she’s letting viewers in on how the beloved drink is really made, leaving them stunned at what they’ve allegedly been consuming.
In the now-viral video — which has garnered 1.3 million views and 101,700 likes as of Monday morning — Gia exposed the fast food chain for putting an entire four-pound bag of sugar into their iced tea.
“If y’all were wondering why the sweet tea so sweet at McDonald’s,” she wrote in the text over the video, which showed her emptying a bag of White Satin sugar into a bucket of tea and stirring it up.
“Yes we use a whole bag sometimes 2,” she added in the caption.
Viewers rushed to the comments to express their shock.

“Yeah. Jackie Mason had a line about paying $5 for burnt coffee in a paper cup.”
I’ll never get the reason behind the popularity of Starbucks. Burnt over roasted coffee in paper cups. Yet, the lines to get the stuff are long and awful. My lovely wife is hooked and at 100° she’s in line at Starbucks.
“Yes we use a whole bag sometimes 2,” she added in the caption.
Obese women is also a southern tradition.
With lemon, of course!

What is this sugar you refer to? I keep some in the cupboard I think for company. I bought it over 10 years ago, it doesn’t seem to go down until my SIL visits, he puts 16 teaspoons in a 12 oz cup of coffee. Horrible.
If I ever order iced tea from McD’s because I’m on the road, I ask for the “unsweetened” tea, with one sugar packet on the side. I use about half the packet in a large size tea.

I missed that one, when did that start?
It is, and around here you can get it in a large cup for a buck.
According to a clerk at my local Starbuck’s, fewer than 10% of customers are ordering the crappy burnt coffee in a paper cup. They’re all standing in line to get one (or more) of those elaborate coffee-based desserts in a cup. It’s all whipped cream, caramel, chocolate chips, syrups, etc. Many of their customers aren’t even coffee drinkers.
“those elaborate coffee-based desserts in a cup. It’s all whipped cream, caramel, chocolate chips, syrups, etc.”
And that is another way women get fat.
Ok, some guys too, but thats a shameful way to do it. Beer is the manly way.
“Why are these little Tiked Off turds only attacking McDonalds? McDonalds and others need to start suing these retarded little freaks. If people want “Sweet Tea”, that’s their business. McDonalds has every right to sell it. Southerners have been drinking “sweet tea” for decades. McDonalds also has unsweetened tea. Get over it and stay the hell out of their business.”
BINGO. WELL SAID.
“If people want “Sweet Tea”, that’s their business. McDonalds has every right to sell it. Southerners have been drinking “sweet tea” for decades.”
I’ve been drinking it for over 68 years and so far so good. But yes, as previously, one cup to a gallon. Tes we make it at home by the gallon!
I was weaned on sweet tea!
