A grandmother from South Jordan, UT remains in critical condition after drinking tea that was laced with lye. Last Sunday, Jan Harding and her husband stopped in at a Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to grab a bite and some sweet tea. When Harding filled her cup up at the self-serve station and took a sip of her drink she immediately spit it out, telling her husband, “I think I just drank acid.” Come to find out, a store employee had confused the deadly cleaning chemical for sugar, and mixed six cups of the powdered lye into the tea. Harding’s condition has not improved since she was taken to the hospital Sunday, and she is unable to speak. [Gawker

Fearing for their safety, the homeowner and daughter called police to help with the situation, which ended with the cat walking out of the room on its own. We think it’s safe to say Cuppy’s days in that home might be coming to an end very soon. [Gawker]
