I grew up on Lipton instant. Mom bought it all the time when I was a child and my first 7 years of marriage it was all I knew. Could not stand Nestea. Of course back then I drank it with lots of sugar. That probably helped stand the taste and added to my journey of becoming diabetic sometime after.

However my current wife can't stand instant so for the last 40 years it has been all brewed. I think she has spoiled me. I don't think I want to go back to instant.
