A Huge Cook Out sweet tea has nearly twice the sugar of a Huge Coca-Cola. The official guide lists 148 grams of carbs and sugar in the 32 oz tea against 78 grams in the Coke, and that comparison is the reason to order the tea unsweet. Fresh brewed sweet tea is about $2.39 in the Huge size, and the unsweetened version has zero calories at every size.

The calorie column and the sugar column do not agree at the large sizes. Sugar rises evenly at 4.6 grams per ounce, but the Large and Huge calorie figures climb more slowly than the Small and Regular, and 148 grams of sugar would normally mean about 590 calories. The sugar figure is the one that matches how sweet tea is made, so use it when you compare.
