i work in england. most everybody drinks tea, and they generally agree on some sort of standard british preparation of tea. when served a cup that isn't quite up to snuff, they're none too pleased. (but most are too polite to mention it.)
imagine my surprise this morning, when, googling for various work-related ISO standards, i discovered ISO 3103 -- the standardized method for brewing tea as produced by ISO Technical Committee 34 (Food products), Sub-Committee 8 (Tea)! who knew? i'm curious about the demographic makeup of sub-committee 8. are they all brits?

sickening, but kind of interesting...
i can't decide how i feel about this desecration of my second-favorite snack food. a little, twisted part of me wants to try one — in the way you can't stop yourself from looking at a car accident when you drive by it.
