Sorry, mountain dew tastes better than tea?
What garbage store brand floor scrapings sorry ass tea have you tried.
Okay okay you caught me.
I don’t drink mountain dew, or black tea. I do drink some herbal tea though. Caffeine makes me sick overall.
I had this meme stuck in my head, then just brain stormed what title would get me the funniest comments.
So far saying mountain dew tastes better than tea has gotten some banger responses like this one, so all is going according to plan!
Sometimes the best memes are made by those who are furthest away from the subject matter. I’m over here with the 9¢ green tea bags from Wegman’s though.
The meme is about 4¢ tea bags. That’s certainly not going to taste the best.
Excuse me? Mountain dew (any Energy Drink for that matter) tastes horrible.
Tea all the way!
How dare you speak the truth! 🧐☕
Hard agree, even basic Twinings tea tastes good (I have some Earl Green and Darjeeling right next to me)
Relevant:
Whenever I really have to pee I say “why did I drink all that crab juice!” out loud and no one knows what the hell I’m talking about.
Just pee in your green tea and add a cup of sugar per cup of pee tea.
It will look like mountain dew and get you sweating like mountain dew and taste like SHIT!
Who let Bear Grylls in here?
Urine: the taste of the great outdoors!
If you are drinking tea for the caffeine content it’s best to steep the bag for as long as possible, iirc it takes about 15 minutes for ~95% of the caffeine to extract. One teabag usually has 60-80mg of caffeine so equivalent to one cup of instant coffee.
It’s also gonna be super bitter at this point.
Tiny bit of lemon fixes that pretty well.
Will try next time I forget that my tea is still brewing ;)
You can always coldbrew it
That’s why you load it with a half cup of sugar.
Or just slam it like you’re doing a Jager Bomb
That’s an energy drink for cheapskates then.
Add milk until the colour of He-man
You can pour a deciliter of sugar into your cup of black tea and it will taste the same as mountain dew.
My cup is only a deciliter in size. Now there’s tea all over the place!
Instead of caffeine I sleep for 7 hours
What’s sleep?
Sleep is the condition where you lose consciousness for a few hours, allegedly allowing your body and mind to rest. They say you then ‘wake up refreshed.’ Yeah, I know. These peasants will never stop finding excuses to avoid work.
Caffeine pills are faster and also dirt cheap.
You can’t beat a well boiled cup of quality (loose) tea! Fuck the Dew!
Excuse me sir that’s just bollock, dried leaves water is clearly superior.
Bean versus leaf, if only we could live together in harmony
only with milk though.
Does mountain dew taste better than black tea? Yes.
my brother in christ what
Do i shit gold? Who the fuck buys tea in bags?
You pay at least 10x as much and produce a ton of waste in the process…
It really depends where you live, if all tea is imported bags are usually cheaper. 250g of budget loose leaf in Australia is $4 which is affordable and cheap, but you could also get a 100 pack of tea bags (approx 200g) for $2.50. So it’s technically cheaper to buy bags. But only slightly, and the quality difference does mean it’s often worth spending more for loose leaf.
Yeah probably. It seems Germany is a coffee nation. Drinking tea at work im the odd one out. Most supermarkets only sell packets of the most popular brand of 20 or if your lucky 50. Loose tea from a tea shop is weirdly enough usually cheaper (per weight)…
People in the US. I’d rather loose leaf but it’s either not the flavor I want or it’s more expensive than bags. Doesn’t help that it’s less common than bags either. And I’m just looking for some regular black tea. Nothing fancy.
From cheap to very expensive and everything in-between. Big resealable bags to get the per cup price down. Having a couple small canisters you can refill from the bags makes it so you don’t open the big bags too often, if you did it every day it would probably get stale.
A very generous reward program that basically gets you 10% back.
And they always give me a few samples with each order. I’ve been turned on to some new stuff that way.
I usually get a few big bags of my staples (which are medium price) and some smaller weights of nicer stuff for when I want a really good pot.
I get bags for under 0.04$ a cup and the cheapest I see on there is $0.15 a cup. I really doubt the quality is the same but this is the kind of price problem I’m talking about.
Lol I have only one thing of loose tea and it’s been sitting in my cupboard for years. I have boxes and boxes of a variety of tea bags… tea isn’t expensive.
I don’t drink enough, or am I considerate enough to jog out for a bag of raw tea. That, and locally where i am, loose leaf tea costs a premium, and harder to find.
After seeing this about the waste, I’ve been thinking there was no real downside to tea bags aside from the production and waste value of packaging. Like is the tea biodegradable? The bag and string itself? Kinda always struck me as “environmentally” safe to dispose of.
Not like a cigarette butts, or old school styrofoam and pantyhose that gets tossed and isn’t going to go away and makes matters worse in a lot of cases. Already kinda understood those. Teabags, kinda under my radar i guess?
There are brands that make biodegradeable bags.
Agreed. Get a proper tea pot or pod and buy loose leaf tea.
Adiago’s IngenuiTEA is amazing for making loose leaf tea stupidly easy. I was gifted a few and I use at least one daily.
I’m sure someone’s made a decent copycat design if you have some aversion to the brand, though I dunno why you would.
I cannot stress enough how Disgusting mountain dew is

I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one’s preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.
What if one doesn’t have a preferred stimulant?
At least I’m not a caffeine zombie like the rest of you. My housemates love it though, cause I’m up first and despite hating coffee, I am told I make a good pot of coffee, so they can stumble into the kitchen and get a fresh cup about a half hour after I wake up.
