    The Thailand Yellow Lipton Teabag Epidemic

    Cannot find yellow label teabags anywhere right now.

    Are they in your local shop?

    Gone for these in the meantime but only in packs of 25 seem a bit pricey.

    Also ordered some Typhoo. They had PG Tips as well but these were better value.

    100 baht for 100 teabags would be worryingly cheap.

    There are Lipton Yellow tea leaves on Laza.

    Put into a French Press at your own strength level, perhaps with a sneaky lil pinch of dried lavender.

    I honestly don't think I could drink that Lipton stuff... I'd go with Tax's suggestion.

    In Korea 20 bags of Yorkshire cost 220 baht.

    While you're at it, get some quality biscuits to go with the Yorkshire (I just ordered up these):

    The Thailand Yellow Lipton Teabag Epidemic-screenshot-2023-09-30-13-25-a

    ^ 126 baht per packet.



    The Thailand Yellow Lipton Teabag Epidemic-screenshot-2023-09-30-13-25-a

    ^ 135 baht per packet.

    Korea always seems so expensive for food, but I don't know the equivalent Thai or English prices these days...

    i'll bring some over next time if you want Armstrong, typho is less than £4 for 240. Those nails are a statement btw, lucky you can carry them off.

    Swerve the Liptons, those things are waterproof.

    Marks and Sparks do their own brand in Central Bang Na. Always nearly on sale too. Can't remember how much, but can you really put a price on a decent cup of tea?

    Yes those walkers shortbread are delicious, luckily not sold in my village or I'd be dunking one right now.
    Was in Sainsburys in Surrey and all food seems to have hiked considerably in the last year.

    If you look at my the prices of Chocolate Digestives, Jaffa Cakes and Hobnobs the only possible response is crumbs.

    What was noticeable Nairn's oatmeal crackers now have a peppered and a salted version around 65 baht a pop while inferior generic Sainsburys clone 45 baht.

    Of course once you have obtained some LIDL Manchego 2.95 for a very small (One Rooja bottle matched per size slice) I think 175-180gram of cheese you will want to pair with the top tier Cheese flavoured Oatmeal crackers, so delicious I could progress from snort to mainlining , best thing since Cheeses Footballs?The Thailand Yellow Lipton Teabag Epidemic-download-jpg

    The choc and chilli is seriously interesting.
    I realize in Chosen you have the dogs bollox but give all of those a whirl , they are sold on Amazon , not sure if they will post thru your catflap.

    That's a great price, Armstrong - you can't go wrong with these; a lovely cup of tea.

    BTW, in Korea, because there's no Championship rights sold, I can get all the matches on ITFC for £10 or cheaper with a monthly pass - can you get the Norwich games. (I reckon the derbies will be gloriously goal-packed this year, as we're both very attacking teams; I could see 8+ goals at Portman Road where we just go all out attack and leave plenty of defensive holes.

    ^^Surely all that's obsolete with this new 'tea and biscuits' flavour tea.

    The tea and biscuit flavoured tea is likely awful. But, buuuuuut: 1) it's from Yorkshire (Taylors of Harrogate), and they know about tea; 2) it could just be one of these things that work when it really shouldn't.

    I suppose that's exactly what Taylor's are hoping for.

    That people will try it once out of curiosity.

    But, unlike with the rap legend, it could be difficult selling customers two packs.

    Generally I just watch the Championship highlights but might make an exception when Norwich put you back into place.

    I have tried it, and like cyrilles attempts at humour, it fails on many fronts.

    it doesnt really taste like tea, and it doesnt really taste like a biscuit.
    it doesnt even taste like the tea you get when you have overdunked your biscuit until it has broken off as you attempt to lift it out, resulting in a genuine "tea and biscuit" taste.

    a digestive biscuit is my preferred go to biscuit, but successful dunking with a digestive takes a lot of practice. Beginners should stick to a rich tea biscuit until they have honed their technique to perfection.

    It's the way you tell 'em.

    Hence the rich intertwining over the years of dentistry and comedy.

    Is that not pretty much the exact opposite of an "epidemic"??

    Is "drought" not more applicable?

    Nice to see the thread coming together now with a couple of little funnies...

    The most hilarious, of course, was Armstrong's (although, I also enjoyed Cyrille's and Tax's). But, Tax, there's no need to dunk - just a nice shortbread to occasionally be eaten with a mouthful of tea. I do appreciate your description of the tea/biscuit flavoured tea, and upon your advice will avoid it.



    (I'm also pleased that we've shown enough maturity to avoid the obvious joke - although, Dilly might be along soon...)
