My son has a severe strawberry milk jones, and since its good for him, we don't discourage it. The problem was, we'd send him to bed with a sippy cup, he'd finish it, and some nights, in the middle of the night he'd call out for 'Mom' (my wife) to get more strawberry milk.

One night she was dead to the world & he was calling out. So I got up, got his cup, and went into the kitchen in the dark to make him some. In the dark, powder cylanders look the same. Well, i poured in powder, added milk, shook the cup and then gave it to him. Two minutes later he's yelling out that it tastes funny. THAT woke Mom, and she immediately began yelling 'what did you do...what did you put in there?'

To my surprise, I had mixed the milk milk with Lipton's Iced Tea mix. Do you know that to this day, when I joke that I'll make him some 'milk-tea' if he's not good, he makes a fist & gets angry...?
