The game's question
Sip the story slowly, a line at a time – a real cup in hand, if there is one.
In most houses, the morning began with the kettle. Leaves in the pot, boiling water, a few minutes to brew, then the first cup. One tea was first sold under the name ‘Pre-Gest-Tee’, later cut down to two letters. In 1958, it climbed from fourth place to become the best-selling tea in the country. Which tea was it?
- Tizer
- PG Tips
- Corona
Need a hint?
Think of the very top leaves of the tea plant: the name ends with them. Was it the tea in the caddy at home?
See the answer
Answer: PG Tips – first called ‘Pre-Gest-Tee’, number one from 1958.
Why this game : The morning cup is a smell, a sound and a habit all at once – its name calls up the kitchen of those years.
