HAZEL: How’s the tea?
BAXTER: It’s, ehrm
LIPTON, is it?

HAZEL: Well, of course! The world’s leading tea brand.
Is something wrong with it? If so, I’d like to know.
BAXTER: To those of us that know tea, Lipton is a pretty bad tea.

HAZEL: YOU know tea.
BAXTER: A bit
HAZEL: Bitch, LIPTON knows tea.
Do YOU own tea estates in Kenya and Tanzania? Do YOU invest millions every year in tea research? Do YOU attract tea experts from around the world to work for you?
If anyone, ANYWHERE knows tea, LIPTON knows tea.

LIPTON
WE KNOW TEA
We just don’t use any of that knowledge in its manufacture.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
