I’d like to apologize to the entire country for allowing this to have happened. I’m sorry.

Update

Made a small Tesco run and got some Yorkshire Tea. On with the day.

        We trailed this a few years ago in the supermarket I worked at. The idea was you’d buy the jug and then just buy a new bag when you needed one. Save on plastic waste I assume, but it never caught on.

          I figure the reusability of jugs would make them less wasteful, but I have no notion of the metrics. The one thing about bags I just can’t get over is there is no reasonable way to reseal it again. They cut the corner and then just have an open liter of milk sitting around. Wild stuff.

            You keep it in your refrigerator, it doesn’t smell.

            Source: used to get my milk from bags when I was still drinking it, am Canadian.

        bagged milk is just the same as any other milk in a different container. bagged tea is the lowest quality tea out there

      The weird thing to me is that their teabags seemingly don’t have a string attached.

          That either creates more dirty silverware than necessary, or requires me to stick my fingers into hot tea! How barbaric a suggestion, really.

            Eh each to their own. The bags float and it’s easy to grab a corner sticking out without burning yourself or getting your fingers in your tea.

            Eh, the string just disappears into the pot anyway when you pour the water over. Why not cut out the middle man?

              You can hold on to the string when pouring the water over??

              HOW WERE YOU EVER AN EMPIRE??

                You can try, but it’s like the string on peelable packs: it always breaks.

                And our empire was built on keeping calm and fishing bags out of teapots.
