Solve the Riddle for a Bonus Item!

By early next week, the first boxes of April will be shipping out to the world! In the meantime, we have a special riddle to share with you. If you can guess the correct answer, you'll get a bonus item in your next box. So, here are the clues:

1. Although there's a T in me, I would taste terrible in tea. 2. Without me, you couldn't survive, but I'm only occasionally called a cure. 3. Sometimes I get involved in pranks.

We'll be keeping an eye on the guesses, and seeing how everyone does, we might offer another clue or two as the weekend goes by. Good luck, and may the odds ever be in your favor!
