Popeye's Apple Cranberry Tea

I never, ever go to Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen, the fast-food restaurant. I'm not opposed, mind you, but I tend to eat at home unless I'm meeting someone for lunch or dinner, and I don't want to get in the habit of picking up fast food, especially during the week. But one day this week, I decided some hot chicken fingers sounded really good, so I pulled into Popeye's and promptly saw a sign advertising their new Apple Cranberry Tea.

It came in only one size, so I ordered it, and it was … very sweet! I haven't been eating as many sweets these days, so I think perhaps that's why I found the drink so overly sugary. The taste was good, mind you, just a bit too much sugar for me. When I got home, I googled and learned I could've ordered the unsweet version, so I may zip by there again one day and try it unsweet.

And I changed my mind about the chicken fingers and went for the spicy fish sandwich instead. I liked it, but wow, it was so large that I could eat only half of it, and I ate the rest for dinner. And while I don't plan to visit drive-throughs any more frequently, I do think it's a good sign when flavored teas are becoming so mainstream!
