I also keep a pitcher of iced tea in my refrigerator on a regular basis. That is a staple in our household along with milk and bottled water. I couldn't help but notice the previous review, did BACON LUVR 4EVS actually place "rocks" in the tea? REAL ROCKS rather than "rock candy"? No wonder a tooth was cracked!

Sandra,
I added to rocks like you recommended, but I did not think they were very good. They had a 'mineraly' taste to them and I cracked one of my teeth trying to drink this. Do you think it is acceptable to leave out the rocks?
