Less sense is made, however, in other cases. For example, pepper. Do we really need a box of pepper to tell us what to do with that pepper? Or bread? I envy the person whose job it is to come up with recipes involving bread. Now that is a profession I would gladly adopt even if it were not to include any medical benefits or restroom breaks.
But then the other day I was reading the back of a packet of artificial sweetener and howdy ho, what do I see but a recipe. Okay, let me check out what I can do with this packet of sweetener, I said to myself, temporarily discarding my plan to empty it into my mug of coffee. Here is what the recipe advised me to do :
Tea
Ingredients:
1 cup strongly brewed tea
1 cup warm milk
3 packets sweetener
Mix all three ingredients together and pour into a mug.
So there you have it, folks. That is how you make tea. Go on now, dazzle your in-laws.

That't not a recipe for sweetened tea. That's a recipe for diabetes. THREE packets? Your sweetner of choice must suck at its primary function to necessitate triple redundancy.
robroy the average Indian empties about 10 packets of sweetener into his or her tea or coffee. That is why whenever an Indian leaves his table at a restaurant, it looks like a hurricane affected neighbourhood.
Are there not many Indians where you live or do they not know the way to Starbucks?
What a coincidence! I just searched the internet to find out what to do with sourdough bread besides eating with butter and cheese.

1 cup milk (gag!)
BTW the average indian empties 10 packets of sugar not sweetener.
NO!!! You lie. I cannot believe they actually give you the recipe for tea!
My box of kelloggs cornflakes gives me the recipe(s) for crispy chocolate bars, double coated chicken and cheese potato crisps. I thought that was an overkill, but tea..??!!
Good lord! Ten packets? No wonder India is so productive!
I'm gonna have to say that there aren't many Indians in my area. I know where our Starbucks is, but I rarely go there. Coffee tastes like someone burnt something, and I prefer my tea unsweetened.
they probably will start having a 1-800 no to contact if u need help making tea.
Its ridiculous that they have one for how to apply shampoo
Awesome recipe. I must try it out sometime :D
Eurgh; artificial sweeteners taste like cardboard.
This is not connected to your post. It's a request: please, pretty please, you simply must blog on this news! :D
ano
anonymous : glad to be of help. although how I helped is not quite clear.
ggop : yes of course ten packets of sugar. but also ten packets of sweetener because someone forgot to tell us that sweetener is twenty times sweeter than sugar.
meenu : i wonder if your cornflakes could somehow be used in the recipe for tea. they seem to be very prolific.
robroy : yes we produce and then we consume and so we have to produce some more. unsweetened tea tastes like someone burnt water.
kappa : i wish they would have a recipe for how to open a bottle of shampoo. that would help.
supremus : be my guest. although if you were my guest I would probably have to make the tea.
sunshine : oh but i am sure there are.
vi : at least cardboard is biodegradable.
ano : I actually was going to write a strongly worded protest against it when I heard about the article a few days ago on the radio. And then I went outside my apartment.
So would a recipe on the back of a packet kill experimentation? . . . just wondering.
Who knows . . . if not for that recipe you might have bumbled into something truly original :)
goosie goosie gander, where have you wandered? when are you coming back?
Have you noticed that comments only have a time stamp and not the date?
seconding Anjali's question.
Yo bud !!!
Long time reader, first time poster. Miss your posts... where the hell are ya?
Starbucks is to coffee as guiness/killians is to beer. Once u try the dark stuff, there is no going back to piss water.
Looking forward to your new posts.
