Only in Canada you say? Pity! (Canadians will get this)
Lol, I get it! I'd forgotten all about those commercials.  Carry on. I never understood those commercials -- since we have had Red Rose tea in the US "forever" (since the 1920's per Wiki). Can someone explain it to me? What is only in Canada? Eh?  |

This Lipton commercial is great and it's lovely to hear Adam singing on tv. I expect it to be on our tv eventually, it's a bit early for summer here (although the weather is exceptionally warm and sunny for April).
It looks like they are launching Ice Tea in bottles, the bigger carton pack have been in stores for years. There are not a lot of non-bubbly options for sale so it's very welcome. Most exciting is that a big brand has a worldwide reach and the song will be familiar everywhere.
Q3 mentioned something that drinking tea is different in the US - I'd like to know more about that. Could you elaborate a bit, please? Americans do not drink much tea, rarely drink it hot. We are slightly above average in coffee consumption but we rule the world when it comes to drinking carbonated beverages... When the US was a British colony, we had very high taxes on tea, so Americans drank coffee instead of tea. When we were fighting and establishing our independence from Briton, drinking tea was considered a "Yankee" (Brittish supporter thing to do). When the west was settled, the settlers continued the coffee tradition. So hot tea drinking has been relatively uncommon in the US for over 300 years. Then in the 19th and 20th century, the largest percentage of US immigrants came from coffee-drinking countries. (The exception is the Irish immigrants who switch to drinking coffee after arriving because tea was less common and more expense than coffee.) Iced tea (originally tea punch) appeared in the early 19th century in both the US and UK. But with the rapid, early adoption of refrigeration in the US, it dominated here while it remained uncommon in the UK. By 1900, Iced Tea was commonplace in the US. No well equipped home was without Iced Tea glasses and spoons. During World War II, the only tea we could get was black tea from India, and by the end of the war, tea in the US = Black Tea. And Iced Tea was usually sweetened and served with lemon. The amount of sugar used increased a lot to cover up the taste of the strong tea. Today, approximately 85% of tea consumed in America is iced. And almost all of that is iced black tea. Edited by the author. As usual I'm in the minority. I only drink tea ( british black tea), mostly hot tea with some iced tea in summer. I hate coffee. My English grandma started me on tea. I'm left handed also. I sure don't seem to run with the pack |

Lol, I get it! I'd forgotten all about those commercials. Carry on. Hah. I remember them too. I've lived in the US for almost 14 years and I've yet to buy American tea. I stock up when I go home. (and I must REALLY stock up because I drink tea all day, every day). All Canadian house guests know to bring down a box or two....haha! Adam. I do like bottled ice tea. Go Lipton! |

And I have to admit -- it is muchkined (frequency raised and speeded up) but it is a great club track. And it really is a beautiful remix. (Still having trouble with anyone modding Adam's vocals but....gotta admit it is very dance-able.) |
