I say 'Ice Tea', But I would write 'Iced Tea' becasue that is the correct spelling.

Alex Trebek: Let's just go to Hot or Cold for $400. And it's a Video Daily Double. Here goes nothing. Please take a look at your video monitors.

[ screen shows Ricky Martin and two dancers. They start dancing. ]

Ricky Martin: It's me! Come on, Ricky Martin! Come on! [ music starts ]. Oh my! In this cup there's some hot tea! It's hot hot hot! Watch! [ takes a sip ] Yow! Hot hot hot! So the answer is: Hot hot hot! or cold. Hot hot hot! or cold. Come on! Hot hot hot!

[ video fades ]. [ no one buzzes in. ]

Alex Trebek: None of you knows. No one can figure out if the hot tea is hot or cold. [ Reeves buzzes in. ] Thank God! Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves: Is it iced tea?

Alex Trebek: [ agitated ] No! It's hot tea!

Keanu Reeves: Well, then I have no idea.

agreed. Iced Tea is a drink where the tea has been iced. Ice T is the singer.

Did you even bother checking your wrong statement by going to lipton's website?

Really you could use they "I said it quick" excuse. I mean nobody pronounces the 'T' in exacTly. I find it annoying when people do actually.

I don't know anyone who pronounces "exactly" as "exacly".

I would find everyone you know annoying then. ;)



Edit: Okay, maybe I don't mean not pronounce at all, but if you say it fast enough you hardly hear the 'T'.

Edit2: jees what's up with he nested quoting. this sux.

I pronounce the T in exactly. most of the time. i also try to say iceD tea, but im a bit hyper usually and talk too fast to really hear it. i do type iced tea tho, since it is tea that has been iced.

It's what the can says (at least here). I just noticed during a Google Image Search that it's packaged as 'Iced Tea' in some other countries.
