Teapot vs. Tea Pot

Drinks & Beverages

Posted by WriteTheCompany.com

Teapot is one word. Separate those words and it becomes Tea Pot. I contacted Celestial Seasonings to see how one of their teas would be affected by this change…

Dear Tea Baggers:

Your Detox A.M. Wellness Tea caught my attention. How effective would the detox process be for a drug intervention if the contents of 2,000 Celestial Seasonings Detox A.M. tea bags were used to replace an equivalent amount of someone’s marijuana stash?

Hypothetically, if someone actually smoked Detox A.M. Tea, thinking it was really marijuana, would it break his addiction to the wacky weed? Homeopathically, will it detox their body while refreshing their brain cell count? Psychedelically, could a teapot function as a tea bong … and would the user eventually start craving tea over chips, cookies, crunchy cereals and Cannabis?

Please give me the straight dope on the effects of your Detox A.M.Tea. This could really give new meaning to the term High Tea!

A Consumer Relations Representative from The Hain Celestial Group, manufacturers of Celestial Seasonings, responded with:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Detox AM. We strive to maintain the highest quality products and appreciate your patronage.

We are sorry, but we have no research about this product in the fashion in which you were asking. We only know it as detoxifying a person’s body and liver through consuming it as a beverage.

As one of our valued customers, your comments are very important to us and we appreciate the time you’ve taken to contact us. Please accept the enclosed along with our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us at (phone number and hours of operation followed).

Final Thoughts: Many people let themselves go to pot. Based on having no research, as pointed out in this response, that doesn’t mean it’s a smart idea to go to tea pot. I’ve never heard of anything that was good for you to smoke. I’m not even sure what the effects of eating smoked ribs, turkey, pork, chicken or herring have on the lungs even though they’re meant for the stomach.

There are many detox diets, supplements, body cleansers and drinks on the market. Like marijuana, they have also turned into a controversial issue. In any case, if you’re considering detoxing or conducting a detoxifying drug intervention, it’s important to understand what you’re doing, and in this case, I clearly don’t. For all we know, the Surgeon General could put out a warning at any moment that smoking tea is hazardous to your health. Plus, customs officials at airports in foreign countries might already be savvy to this and have tea sniffing dogs looking for people to let rot away in prison for possession of tea pot. So, don’t start trading in those nickel and dime bags for tea bags just yet.

Enclosed with the response were 3 Save 50¢ coupons on any box of Celestial Seasonings tea. Luckily, I have a teapot and don’t plan on experimenting with tea pot.

Next time you’re at the market trying to weed out all the different types of teas, check out Celestial Seasonings, including their Detox A.M. Wellness Tea. However, if you want get the best buzz about a brand, roll your thoughts into a letter and Write The Company.
