Tea Energy; Go Green with Purple

March 18, 2009 by Marye Audet  
Filed under Off-Beat Items

If you have eaten all the powdered donuts you can handle and can’t finish your green tea there is no need to throw out the leftovers.  Just put them together to make a solar cell.

Apparently there is a substance in powdered sugar that turns into a pretty darn good solar collector when mixed with herb and fruit tea.  And, Tazo passionfruit seems to be the best.

Personally I find this to be just a tiny bit frightening. Why? Well…..here is the deal.
We all know policemen are addicted to donuts. I have seen a lot of the local officers in the various Starbucks. Now, what if they start drinking the tea and glowing in the dark? hmmm?
I mean, GMOs aside..isn’t this a little too Robo-cop for you?

Do you work in an office?

Is there a designated person, the go-fer,  that goes to pick up the coffee? Or, do you flip pennies, throw darts or otherwise use some sort of scientific system to make sure it is fair?

How would you feel if you had to gobble up mouthfuls of powdered creamer while you had M-16s pointed at your head?

This is not a Frat initiation, nor is it a new method by our military to extract information from foreign spies…Nope. It happened to a

British tourist to South America.
