Every once in a while, you have to take a break from talking about money and settle the debates that actually matter.

This episode somehow turned into a passionate discussion about Southern sweet tea, and let’s just say there were some very strong opinions. According to Ashley, bottled sweet tea doesn’t count, the tea-to-sugar ratio has to be just right, and if you’re serving it with the wrong ice, you’ve already lost.

Honestly, the conversation was less about tea and more about the fact that everyone has those random hills they’re willing to die on. For some people it’s coffee. For others it’s pizza. Around here, it’s sweet tea and barbecue.

So now we’re curious…
