One of my favorite summer drinks. You can get some funny looks when you order one, though.

Really? Why is that?

Bro, that's a great pic.

I suppose some people may think it's weird to order one because it doesn't contain any alcohol. It sounds like an interesting concoction, and I'd prefer to have an Arnold as opposed to, say, a John Daly (I've heard such a drink exists).

I drank a Coke today for the first time in a million years--it was really good. It's ridiculously hot and humid here today--has been all week, really.

It seems like they don't know what it is if it's not on the menu, so how can they bring me a golfer to drink?

Yum.

That's why it's called that? Sheeeit.

I kinda think the Arizona version is not all that good; it's got somewhat of a bitter after-taste like flat Diet Coke. Maybe it's because of all that high-fructose corn syrup. When I was a kid, I once poured corn syrup on my pancakes because we were out of maple syrup....

There are a lot of things you learn not to do when your a kid.

I mixed lemonade and tea quite a few times, I had no idea it was called an Arnold Palmer until college

[6] I agree the Arizona version doesn't taste as good as it should, but I think that maybe it's because it's a diet flavor. I don't know why it doesn't come in regular. Their green tea/lemonade combo is a bit better

Add Pimm's to that and then we're talking.

Trader Joe's sells a great Organic Tea and Lemonade drink (with golfing graphics on the label) for a fair price of less than $3 for a half gallon. Yummy, especially with vodka, a splash of soda and lots of ice.

I guess an Arnold Palmer is a copywritten term for a tea and lemonade drink, and they can't use it.
