Advantages: It tastes good, it is good and hehe they're triangle!

Disadvantages: No more worthless picture cards

Well, here I am again. An unreformed self proclaimed lazy journalist who's getting to grips with pressing enter twice...

...like so - to add the all important paragraphs.
See? I'm learning, but I'm still lazy.
I'm still in limbo mode, so I'm just finding anything I can review that's on here and just doing it for the pennies.

People are still reviewing cheeses aren't they? Don't do it! I envy leahslad and his unlimited condom reviewing though. That idea died for me as soon as the pill came into play.

Anyway, enough crap talk: PG Tips, yeah! - It's the tips(tm, I think?), it's been around since black and white TV, and the ads still have clever overdubbed monkeys that orgasm after the first sip.

Though the actual product doesn't do that, PG Tips is a marvellous tea by Brooke Bond that along with Tetley (our family's second choice if there's no PG - anywhere) is one of the biggest tea products in the UK, and probably elsewhere in the world too.

PG's grasp on the market is via the novel but somewhat more effective pyramid(tm - watchout Radiohead) bag which gives the contents more room to manouveure to unleash their orgasm payload - possibly, that results in a fuller tasting fresher cup of tea. Like, wow. But it's nice.

PG tea is the definitive tea taste for me, sure all teas taste the same but PG has that certain (phonetic) jer-ner-say-qua; you know that French word? I can usually spell it, I think - but not now.
It retains the extra edge as only the best top two leaves and a bud (cleverly called the tips a-ha) are chosen for PG Tips, so you're getting prime quality stuff.

I'm no tea expert but I think it's the best because it tastes good, looks novel, has an infinitely popular ad campaign and has a 9-5 (freephone) helpline listed on the box if you're sad enough to leave a comment or want to enquire something. If it's
about how to make tea, just return the box to shop, please! Tea making is a fine art though and I do it well. Don't talk to me about coffee - hisss!!!

Tea, also as a fact that's stated on the box, along with fruit and vegetables forms part of a healthy diet, so aswell as tickling your taste buds and getting refreshed you're doing yourself some good.
And if you're particularly picky you can look at the underside of the box for all the relevant nutritional information (I'm sitting here with a box of 750g, 240bags - shoot me; it's for the best).

If there's any gripe it's that they don't put in those picture cards in their cool hardly unchanged boxes anymore - granted they were crap, but it's the principle of the tradition that counts.

So what can I say, 5 stars? Yeah. PG's the best tea I've tasted, and if you've not tried it now you should as it's not one of the most popular teas for nothing. Pick up a small box one day.

Please add a comment if you orgasm because of it, or if any of your pet monkies do. What a great side effect!

Pray that I return with a worthy review soon, I probably will, but pray anyway. End.

Great tea but not sure the bags add anything. Great gimic though.

Ian, I happen to know a bit about the makers of the machines too. They are customers of our. A bit different from their regular line of machinery!
