Because this is exactly what has been missing from my fine beverage experience. Tea bags with little people attached to them to kick it in my tea cup and keep me company on all those lonely mornings in the RV. Themes include strippers, American politicians, and British royalty. If I want a really strong cup, I get Obama and a couple of strippers hanging out in my cup all at the same time. The possibilities are endless…
It can’t be coincidence people, it must be DESTINY! Just yesterday I was riffing on high-fructose corn syrup on the blog, and today there is an epic story released by AdAge regarding high-fructose corn syrup and its perception.

This was labeled Champagne Wishes and started off as a tightly bound, slightly mushroom shaped bundle of what looked like grass.

I have no idea what this site is about, because it is supposedly the “Unicorn Wine Guild” but the blog is about tea. Either way, it has one of the most psychedelic logos I have ever seen.
