Drinks (naturally) and some TCM medicines I understand.
Okay, I know tea (if not full of pesticides and fungi) are "good for your healthy" but someone in the tea marketing business is getting a little crazy.
Wanted to wipe the sweat off my face. Reached for my customary aloe vera wet napkins. Wipe, wipe, wipe. Felt and smelled weird. Looked at the package. Same brand as always, same packaging except that where the aloe vera stem should be was tea leaves. WTF? It's in toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, dish soap, laundry soap, cookies, mouthwash, gum...
Here are my suggestions to help the overzealous tea marketers: condoms, birth control pills, toilet paper (can just use the raw leaves - the majority of peasants would feel more comfortable at any rate), paint, gasoline, writing pens, kites and my greatest suggestion - coffee.
Bah!
There are tea leafs under my mattress.
Mother in law wants a grandson.
Yup....even my nookie comes with tea.
Stiggs:
That's a new one.... wonder what happens if you put coffee, or maybe a cigarette under your mattress
ScotsAlan:
My MIL hides tea everywhere stiggs. It's magical properties will protect us from all evil. There is a tree outside the apartment that resembles a tree tree. Every time she passes it she plucks a leaf off, rubs it and sniffs, then puts it in her pocket.
I know how to make my MIL really happy and grin from ear to ear because of this. I get the Chinese tea set out and do the traditional tiny teapot thing. She loves it.
And the tea is pretty good too. But not as good as the MIL's brother. Now he does know how to make tea..... with a Chinese brandy chaser
Stiggs:
Well if it makes her happy it's gotta be good, and it seems harmless enough. Better tea leaves under your mattress than a durian or something.
ScotsAlan:
But it's not always harmless. As Sinobear says, too much blind faith is put into the magical properties of tea. I bet sick kids are dying today because their grandparents gave them tea instead of taking them to the doctor.

I've got a Penthouse magazine under my mattress. Usually does the trick!
If you have a cold, wash you vag in tea !!!
Stiggs:
Is that for real ? I haven't heard that before.
I'll be sure to do that.. oh, wait ..... if I don't have a vag should I wash my rooster with tea? Actullay never mind, I'll just suffer through it.
Scandinavian:
there is actually a kind of tea for washing the girly privates.
I'm gunna have a cuppa tea right now!
Hahahahahahahhahahaha.............WRONG!
The worst is green tea chocolate.
I was in walmart and saw a dove chocolate bar with green filling and immediately bought like 5 as mint chocolate is hard to come by here..... Rookie mistake.
Sinobear:
That's also how I discovered tea-flavored gum...thought it was mint.
expatlife26:
Same thing for me with ice cream!
I like rgreen tea but that green tea flavor they put in things sucks
Last week the other half bought Tea flavoued ice cream for a treat, I wanted to throw up one first taste. Foul stuff indeed.
