New TeaDay 4/1/12 GREAT news!

by Chip » Apr 1st, '12, 01:46

Welcome to the NEW TeaDay.

I have great news, but need your advice too! Can you please help? I won $200 million in Mega Millions and will enter the tea business in a big way. But should I buy out Adagio, Teavana, Tazo (Starbucks), do my own thing, or other? Your opinions count!

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone! See you around the forum.

I voted fix up the tea cave, including relocating with a better view of Mt Fuji, and enlarge the tea fridge a bit. Also, improved funding for super-premium gyokuro tasting?

Today, enjoying my first session with a lovely little teacup from Shawn McGuire of Greenwood Studios

it's just perfectly sized to match my smallest gaiwan, and showcasing some nice TeaHabitat Song Zhong #5 this morning.

We all know you're just going to blow $200m on Hagi.

Perhaps he'll just buy the whole town; build a large teahouse to display and use his Hagi; become a formal patron of all of the potters and giving them full creative freedom to make even more fantastic wares that he'll make available to all--for free, via a special lottery system, after he picks the ones he wants for himself.

why would anyone want to buy starbucks or teavana?
Its sorta like some offering to sell you their crimes against liquid and decency.

I suppose you could turn it around but, the damage has already been done.

well, you could always buy the company, liquidate all their assets, and then dissolve the company.

I don't think $200m will buy Starbucks, though

I was already aware of that and I just wanted to humor him but, my humor turned to srs when I had to type that pseudo word (teavana)
and I got warped into being serious.
but, still sorta joking. I doubt 200 mill would be enough to buy any of those companies anyway.
