The Finster Log

Oh No!

Posted on: 11/29/07, 16:35:56
I learned today that Trader Joe's has stopped making their Honeybush tea.
Harley loves the box almost as much as the tea
Don't they realize that Harley has to drink some of this almost every day?

Don't they know that he will start eating PEOPLE if he doesn't get his tea?!?!?!

Update
I wrote to Trader Joe's and asked them about their Honeybush tea. I pointed them to this blog entry, which — you may have noticed — gives the impression that I might get EATEN if Harley doesn't get his tea. Marci replied with the following:
Dear Pamela and Harley,

Thanks for contacting us with your question. We have discontinued that product in our stores due to slow sales. Because our stores have such limited space, if an item does not meet a minimum sales volume, we will discontinue it in order to bring in something we think will sell better. I will pass your comments on to our buyers for consideration. From time to time, if there is enough outcry to bring back a discontinued item and we are able to do so, we will give it another run.
So what do you say? Maybe if all four of my regular readers send them a note about their Honeybush tea, they'll start selling it again. And if they do, I'll buy Harley a whole case!

But they don't have any boxes left! IT'S A TRAGEDY! So far we're doing reasonably well with a rooibos-only tea, and the occasional glug of chamomile, but I think he liked the honeybush the best.

Hope you like the book, it's really cute.
