So right now I am drinking a cup of Bigelow's Constant Comment Tea. I'm trying to figure out what the name means, and I figure it means that the drinker cannot stop making comments about this tea... that it invokes such a strong reaction in the drinker such that all other topics of conversation are thrown out the window.
I assume Bigelow would like the comments to be positive, it's not like someone commenting negatively about their tea would be good advertising. I bet the name came from long ago when a house guest of someone was so enamored with the tea that that's what they talked about for the whole dinner party. "Wow! You put orange rind and natural flavoring in your tea?! Amazing! I can't stop talking about it! What a country! In U.S.S.R. we do not have these sorts of delicacies. We only have artificial flavorings."
Yes, that person goes by the name Yakov Smirnoff.
