Sweet tea
jayrodtheoldbod, We got Union as hell on this post, didn’t we. Every time I come back it has more comments.
I’m still mad as fuck that I can’t get my precious Lipton Instant Tea at Walmart, because I really was raised in a trailer park, so maybe that’s why I had to delete my own giant shitty comment about this.
Mefek, I mean it would be inconvenient but they would still dissolve, they aren’t super saturating sweetened tea in the south.

bleistift2, But sugar dissolves in cold water. It just takes a bit longer. This is 9th grade chemistry. At 20°C 203.9g sugar are soluble per 100ml of water.
[Edit: Sorry, for the Americans here: At 68°F, 1 cup of sugar is soluble in 21/50 cups of water.]

risottinopazzesco, And most of all, solubility being a function of the temperature, if you lower it the excess sugar will leave the solution and cristallize.
ares35, 
example: you don't make a pitcher of kool-aid with hot water.
however, adding sugar to the hot tea does work better than adding it after it's already chilled.
