McDonald\u2019s,\u201d Weiser explained. \u201cI worked there for about three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During her tenure, there were two four-gallon jugs of tea on site: a red jug for sweet tea, and a green jug for unsweetened tea.<\/p>\n<p>Until Weiser knew how the drinks were made, she would indulge in a cup of sweet tea on occasion, but that changed after her time at the chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor every four gallons of the red jug, the sweet tea, there was a full four-pound bag of sugar emptied into it,\u201d Weiser revealed. \u201cOne pound per gallon of tea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stopped drinking the tea after I realized that,\u201d she confirmed. \u201cThat\u2019s nasty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sun reached out to McDonald\u2019s and requested more nutritional and ingredient information on the menu item.<\/p>\n<p>In the comments section, viewers expressed a mix of horror at the sugar content in the drink and indifference towards the caloric and nutritional load.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing something is really sweet is different than knowing exactly how much sugar is in it,\u201d one viewer wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI barely drink soda now that I can actually picture the NINE teaspoons of sugar in a Coke.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"580\" height=\"1024\"
