| Is ice(d) tea a soft drink? by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 11/19/2019, 7:55am PST | ||||

| I got thinking about soft drinks because I wanted to see how Wiktionary (Wikipedia's dictionary) defined it.
They had this answer: Any carbonated, usually sweet, non-alcoholic drink. (In this sense, juice, milk, tea and coffee are not soft drinks.) I found this answer unsatisfactory, because lemonade is a soft drink and so is orange soda, neither is carbonated. So I rewrote it to read: Water, processed by the addition of non-alcoholic flavor(s), often enhanced by the addition of sweeteners and carbonation. (In this sense, juice, milk, tea and coffee are not soft drinks, while lemonade, tonic water, and orange soda, while not carbonated, are.) But what about ice tea (and is it ice tea or iced tea)? It fits essentially all the qualifications of a soft drink, but it's been excluded. I think lemonade is definitely one, but if so, is ice(d) tea also included as a soft drink? |
