Tea and Cookies
Tea and Cookies
It is time for me talk and Tea and Cookies, now that I am well above my target of 100 Linux derivatives with lot of cookies in them.
This is not about the cookies that are behind one's browser or cookies that Linux developers put out almost everyday but real cookies we love at tea time.
But unfortunately Ceylonese cookies are getting expensive by the day with American flour is up, roosting on top of the roof and coconuts are hitting the ceiling in prices, I am bound by duty to talk about cookies the kids love.
If not my grandpa role is of no use.
If I talk about baby rusks it is beyond the reach of our average citizen mother and father.
The ordinary cookies are also expensive and their quality is getting poorer.

If a packet is above rupees fifty (which is the price of bread now) we Ceylonese prefer bread and sambol to American cookies.
The reason for the cookies getting poor in quality is probably due to the companies cutting corners with all the ingredients making cookies going up in price to save expenses and maintaining the profit margins within their target range.
I am now down two or three varieties that maintain the quality but with the price well above what it used to be. If the price keeps going up perhaps I have to give up eating them.
As regard to TEA, it actually sky rocketed well before the budget and with milk is up in price we have to cut down our habit of drinking TEA.
In the office now it is black tea and I have stopped drinking it by default.
With this all gloom, there is a silver lining in the sky.
Reason for writing this is to highlight that fact.
One of our Ceylonese companies just celebrated its 20 years in existence.
It produces an excellent ice tea priced little above Coca Cola.

It was called Hela Dive and I gather it was bought by a Sheik in the Middle East.
Arabians love TEA.
Coca Cola is the number one company in America and this Ceylonese company can beat it, if they do a good market adventure and aggressively promote the tea here in Ceylon and abroad in Middle East and then slowly hit the markets in America.
Coca Cola is junk.
Coca Cola is junk.
Nescafe is bad for your heart.
CEYLON TEA is healthy and protects our hearts should be the motto.
