Today, I found out why my cups of tea have been tasting a bit funny. It turns out my kettle is full of ants, so every time I boil water to make tea, the ants get re-boiled along with it. FML

Lesson learned. Next time, always rinse your kettle out. :l

this wouldn't have happened if you had let your mom wash the kettle and dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals.

Add some honey and cinnamon and you got yourself a tasty treat.

At least boiling the ants made them sterile.

ant pee contains a chemical which makes stuff taste like salt and vinegar chips.

If it's anything like my kettle there is a little mesh filter that lets them get in but not out (easily).

This happened to me too. Unfortunately, I don't know how long they were in there for before I noticed, but when I did I threw it out and bought the kind that you can totally open the top and have a good look inside. I still get ants in there everyday because, as someone else pointed out, it's a water source for the ants, but I rinse the whole thing before using it. Problem solved! =)

But you still have to though. Otherwise you get weird gunk in your tea or whatever from not rinsing it out.
