At my grocery store today, Coke was on a buy 1, get 2 free, and there was plenty of product. Having a little trouble moving your product?

I stopped drinking soda a few years ago. Water and Iced tea for me (and vodka). In the summertime I make sun tea. Otherwise I drink unsweetened Gold Peak over ice with lemon. Upwards of a half gallon a day. Just learned Coca-Cola owns Gold Peak. Switching to Lipton/Pepsi owned Pure Leaf until summer.
Just make your own tea. It's far cheaper to buy a box of black tea bags. You can even make it outside using the sun when the summer hits. Just get a glass brewing vessel and leave it on the porch in direct sunlight for a few hours or until it warms up and you get the flavor you're looking for.
This is the way. I have an iced tea brewer that does a nice job, just quicker than sun tea. For flavor, I toss one lemon or peach tea bag in with the black tea. I find that any of the prepackaged bottled teas (even Lipton) are just too cloyingly sweet for my taste.
I've looked into iced tea brewers, but never pulled the trigger on one. What model do you have?
I've had a $20 Mr Coffee one for over 10 years and love it. I am not sure they make them anymore, though. It is like this one: https://www.mrcoffee.com/specialty-brewers/tea/mr.-coffee-iced-tea-maker-3-qt.-black/SAP_TM75BK1.html
Also, Newman's Own brand tea is really good. Or if you like strong tea, Red Rose tea is good, too.
It's a West Bend. I've had it for years. Solid product, easy to use. I do skip the ice in the brewing process.
I never do it right, but I am a sun tea master!
I made sun, moon, sun tea once, it was good.
My mom always made tea that way in the summer.
So... it tastes like Pepsi?
Make sure you find out who owns “Gold Peak” or distributes it. Coca Cola owns a lot of shit
...(and vodka). Too funny.
You can buy an electric iced tea maker for ~$40 and you will save a ton of money brewing your own.
A pitcher would last you two days at your current consumption rate.
