I have in front of me a jar of "unsweetened Nestea (r) lemon tea mix".
Below the brand name, it says "Add your own sweetener", and further
down, "new natural lemon flavor".

On the back, in fine print, the list of ingredients begins with
"corn syrup solids".  Instant tea follows in second place, followed by
citric acid, gum arabic, and "natural lemon flavor".

So I was stupid enough to buy a jar of an "unsweetened" product whose
primary ingredient is a sweetener.  But I'm curious ... how is it that
they can get away with that?
