Regarding the tea video? That's how Southerners make tea. In the South, if you want iced tea or tea period, you have to say "unsweetened" or they'll put sugar in it and not just a little sugar. They find it tasteless without sugar.

In the North, we don't do it that way. You don't have to ask for "unsweetened" iced tea in New York, you can find it easily. But in South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Alabama and the South - they like their tea sweet.

I can tell the woman in the video is from the South, just from listening to her - very thick Southern accent.
