Bad Tea Chronicles: Snapple Straight Up Tea

Snapple is testing a new product -- it is called "Straight Up Tea."  It claims to be lightly sweetened, using sugar, with no flavoring.  It is, in a word, repulsive.

It is too sweet to be a good unsweetened tea.  Although Snapple claims to have used sugar and actual tea leaves, this atrocious brew does not taste at all like tea sweetened with sugar.  It tastes like bad off-brand iced tea mix.  There is none of the refreshing slightly bitter tang of tea.  It's got a waxy and chemical mouth feel, almost what I'd imagine licking a freshly polished coffee table feels like.

I would drink Snapple Straight Up Tea again if the other choices were human blood or a slow death from thirst.  Although even then, only reluctantly.
