The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

    That… sounds wrong but I don’t know enough about tea or history to dispute it. Just trying to imagine pre industrial manual laborers dripping with sweat, chugging hot tea out of fine China while complaining it’s not sweet enough.

      well they wouldn’t have had fine china. Tea in the UK is not a very fancy drink unless you’re posh.

      one of the big reasons tea was adopted is boiling water makes it safe to drink and it replaced using weak alcohol for that purpose
