I tried using the straw to mix it up, but it stayed.
I tried swirling it around, but it stayed.
I tried shaking it, but it stayed.

Suggestions?

You've already put 2 things too many in your coffee. Just dump it out and start over.

Buy your iced coffee at a place where they are not morons and dissolve the sugar in hot water.

Too late now, but next time use Equal.

this would suggest that your coffee is already supersaturated with sugar, therefore it is impossible to dissolve any more sugar at it's present temperature and pressure. Why do you need this much sugar?

Is Equal like Splenda?

In all seriousness, this is the right answer. The guy probably just made a mistake this time.

won't the sugar just precipitate once the ice cools down the coffee?

hmmm, while I'm certainly not even the chemistry mind I was 3 years ago, I believe the coffee will stay supersaturated for a while before the sugar precipitates out. IIRC, this is how rock candy is made.

Correctish. Though I don't beleive the sugar will ever 'precipitate out.' It will remain in solution once it is dissolved.

I'm pretty sure it does precipitate out after a while. Not that it's important to the discussion at hand.

You are correct. I guess that's what makes rock candy possible....

This is because more of a substance dissolves in hot water than it does in cold water. So in your cold coffee, most of the sugar didn't desolve, so it isn't sweet at all.

I'm fairly certain that it's also also loaded with crack.

My final solution was to add more sugar while stirring intensely and then drinking it quickly. Kinda worked

here's what I do... hold your straw so that the end of it is near the bottom of the cup, but not quite. If you stick it all the way down, you'll start sucking up lots and lots of sugar, bring it up a bit, and you won't get any. The trick is to hover the straw at the right distance so that some sugar gets sucked up, but not too much.

heat it up (the coffee), dissolve it (the sugar), ice it (the combo).
