lateral thinking - Poisoned Iced Tea




Two girls went to dinner together and both ordered iced tea. One girl pounded down five of them in about a minute, and the other took her time drinking one.


The girl who drank one died, while the girl who drank five survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.


Why did the girl that drank more iced tea survive?

Because...



...the poison was in the ice. She drank them before the Ice melted to the point where it would kill her.
