 I asked AI and it said that in the US, up to 20 maggots are allowed in
100 grams (3.5 ounce) of canned mushrooms.
(I don't know about other countries.)

That's mildly horrifying.  I'm going to blindly hope that there aren't maggots in canned corn, which is about the only "vegetable" that I buy in cans.

When I make iced tea, it's just tea and water.

 I guess that's close to the original idea.

Just brewed tea leaves, and water, here...  Never sugar.
If I'm feeling lazy, maybe once or twice per week, I stop at the McDonald's drive thru for a $1.59 large size "Un-sweet tea", as they call it.  "Non-sweet" or "Iced tea" makes more sense to me, but the employees give you a funny face if you ask for that.  Sometimes they have really good tea, usually in the mornings.
