And the Purpose of a Tea Bag Is....

I saw this advertised today in the newspaper


Now, first off, what the hell?!?  Uhm, why do you need to have a K-Cup for tea?  Isn't that the whole point of a single-serve tea bag?  Actually, it's even more wasteful, because everyone knows you can get up to three cups of tea out of one tea bag...and a K-Cup, you get one.

And you get a wasteful little plastic cup with a foil lid.  What really pissed me off about this ad was that Celestial Seasonings has printed, SINCE ITS INCEPTION, that the whole reason that they don't put the little string on the bag is because it's wasteful.

Well, what the hell happened?

A little cotton string and paper label is wasteful, but a whole K-Cup with foil lid isn't?

It really makes you rethink wanting to buy from them.

  1. Have you put this on their Facebook page? I agree - the K-cups are a stupid thing. How lazy can a person get to not dunk a tea bag?

  2. Not yet- they don't seem to care much what your write on the site unless it's obscene.
