Great observation and question about the lack of ice(d) tea being served on TAGS. I would lump that in with the question of why there was no basketball played or referenced on TAGS, considering b¹ball is a religion in North Carolina. Maybe the sweet tea reference would have been too quaint or even lost on the non-Southern viewers (bless their hearts).
