On many afternoon I stop at Driftless Market to get a bottle of Honest Tea iced tea, usually black but occasionally green. Their unsweetened flavors are just amazing. (Sweetened might be okay, but I hate sweetened bottled tea, so I've never even tried it.)
I decided last semester to track just how much of this delicious stuff I drink. It started because I accidentally left a few bottles in the garage: somehow they didn't make it the short distance from my car into my actual house. So I started collecting them. Below, all the Honest Tea I drank in the fall 2011 semester:
I drank 21 bottles. Not as many as you might think, but Wisconsin winters are cold, and by December I didn't really want a chilly iced tea for my commute home. All but one were black tea.
What will be interesting (well, to me) is when I have done this for several semesters. Then I will build the photos into a bar graph, showing tea drinking as function of time, in semester increments.
At this point in the spring semester I have had 9 bottles. I think that number will pick up as the weather gets warmer. I'm sure everyone will be excitedly awaiting the results.
