Tea_Pain, Y U No Update?

Podcast 25: Tea_Pain, Y U No Update?


Apparently when Duke leaves the country, I have no reason to update the blag. Sorry bros and brahs, we're back up and running again.

On a more serious note: people are still shopping at Teavana. How do we stop this? Is there a special picture we can put on Facebook and get a shit-ton of likes so that we can stop atrocities like this tea? Solutions are welcome and encouraged.



What: Citrus Lavender Sage (Teavana)
How much: $5.00 / oz
What kind: Herbal is garbage
Taste: Flat 50/50
Repeat Drinkability: 2/10 (Expense, can't steep more than once for several reasons, and I have to save some for Duke so I can torture him with it at some point. Thus, I'm hoarding until it is to be destroyed by lots and lots of fire.)
Manliness: 0/10  (This would attract Bieberflies, if they existed.)
