Could be worse. The bag could have tore, filling your cup withbtea debris

Then finally enjoy your microplastic drink!
WTF is this string squeeze technique?!
Squidge the bag against the side of the cup with the spoon.
What now? Why is anyone squeezing a tea bag? Is this some sort of catholic, I deserve to be miserable kind of thing? Why ruin your tea with fines and bitter tannins?
I’m too lazy to remove the teabag, what now Brits
It’s disturbing to hear, but at least laziness is an ethos I can get behind.
££££££££££££££££££££££££££ As long as you’re drinking it black (no milk), when you’re finished, you can just pour on more hot water, and get a free drink. Your free drink will be slightly weaker than the previous one. You can then repeat this until all flavour is gone. ££££££££££££££££££££££££££
I like it because it reduces bin juice.
But I like the tannins!
Maybe I enjoy the misery.
Otherwise the teabags drips all over the surface!
If you must know, most of the time I don’t use a teabag. I use loose leaf in a teapot. No squeezing required.
Welp my super catholic mom squeezes her teabags until not a single drop more comes out. It’s awful. I never squeeze a teabag!
I could relate and have experienced at some point in my life all of these issues except that squeezing method. I personally just let tea bag in cup for 5 min or so and then squeeze it with my fingers when it is not boiling hot.
Everything in this video is ‘fixable’ : hold the damn tab while pouring water, install the bin liner properly, cellophane is not that difficult, etc.
But the thing that triggers me like nothing else is the semi-perforated ‘easy opening’ half-circle of that carton box. Those fail without fail and I am convinced it is constructed by satan himself, just to mess with your mind and propel your anger to new heights. Same as with those easy to tear strips, they never rip in one go and always fail at about 5% of the tear-action. May the gods of retribution take extra notice and effort to espouse their vindictive cruel ways upon these so called ‘designers’ who invent them. May the fleas of a thousand camels invade the crotch of the person. And may their arms be to short too scratch.
Yo, they put each teabag in plastic in the US or what? It’s always paper where I live. You guys are crazy.
The power outlets in the first frame look European, but yeah, you can even just dump the teabags into a cardboard box without a wrapper and it’s perfectly fine. I would love to know why manufacturers are hellbent on adding useless packaging material.

German Schucko?
Yeah, that’s my guess, although it’s not just popular in Germany:
SchuKo
It’s a British (registered there) brand of tea, produced in Ukraine and Russia, and mainly distributed in Europe (I personally have seen it in several EU countries). And yeah, this type of tea is always packed like this. At least they stopped using metal clips for teabags lately, from what I’ve seen.
I usually see them in paper here in the US, too. But I would imagine it depends on brand. I’m a cheapskate so I usually just get Bigelow or Lipton.
It’s super common around the world. My friend group is starting to focus on loose leaf tea for that exact reason.
It’s also paper for some types of tea in Europe. Especially anything medicinal often has plastic.

Loose leaf for the win!
Upvoting angrily
Ffs why is so much packaging like this? Does anyone actually USE it before it’s mass produced?
Holy shit, that hit the spot. The bag fucking up at the end is just the cherry on top. Chef’s kiss!
Every little thing just gives a small “…eghhhhh…” Feeling
They forgot the part where you sit on the couch waiting for the tea to steep and then remember you made tea 45 minutes later.
Or finally take the first sip, then get distracted by something else and discover your cold cup on the counter hours later.
Go to warm it up and find yesterday’s tea in the microwave…
Now you’ve done it! You made me laugh uncontrollably! Pfff.
aaaand I’m going to bed upset. Thanks OP
My lord… This video just nails it. I cringed and related to each part.
cup of tea
There’s your problem right there, bucko. In the words of the last great American… pigeon sweat.
Tell me you’re not British without telling me you’re not British
Do the British not drink tea in bags?
Yeah, but not annoying individually wrapped bags like this.
