I was cruising along minding my own business when suddenly I fancied a cup of tea.....

How much were FD paid for that eh?

Hmm? If that's a tea brand, one of the "never seen or heard of" (by me) then.

It is a well known brand in the UK. I think it may be one of our oldest brands.

I wonder what else is hidden within ED?

Tetleys is a popular tea brand ask Sid! Mind you it is also a popular beer brand as well, so if one doesn't suit I'm sure t'other would.

actually it;s one of worldwide known brands!

Anikakaiful, I take it, you are a coffee person?

Frankly, if it means improved gameplay, I wouldn't mind billboards at the space stations. A revenue stream will really help them keep the game entertaining.

Now I have to head out into the Black to find Mr. Lipton....

Coffee mostly, but lately tea too. The brand in question though, I've never seen nor heard of it (before now, in this thread).

Now you mention it I could do with a drink.. Sadly I don't have any Tetleys in. To the shops!

I can back him up. It is a well know and very old brand of tea in the UK.

Edit:
A quick google states this: Tetley is a British beverage manufacturer, and the world's second largest manufacturer and distributor of tea.

And it all comes from my land of Yorkshire! Where Tea belongs.

You don't get much tetley's in continental europe outside of some english food shop

AFAIK advertising is in game but I don't think it's NPC names

I expect that FD were paid a considerable sum for that. Naming things was a high-level Kickstarter reward.

I was surprised to find Teltleys in my local store after moving to Canada, I didn't realise it was a worldwide brand... it has made the transition so much easier!

Earl Grey for the win!

They still have them - I've never noticed any difference in taste with those to be honest, go figure
