Even our tea bags are texting us

 The world is full of slogans. I have a quotation book in which I write my favorite quotes. Mostly from the thinkers of past and present. Online many of these quotes made it onto Pinterest with backgrounds of beaches and mountains.

I was gifted various teas for the holidays. Mostly herb and spice mixes with names like wellness tea and  Soothing comfort.  I'm used to pouring tea then checking the label on the tea for steeping time. Instead of instructions there was this:


Sigh.  Pure poetry. Because everyone else is taken? (Wilde quote)

Wonder if fortune cookies are upping their quote game.
