My Lipton Email

Ok, everyone knows the Lipton Tea Company, right.. well, a while ago, my friend and I were thinking of stupid questions.. what we came up with was to ask Lipton if their employees were allowed to take coffee breaks. So, I emailed Lipton with this letter:

Dear Lipton,
The other day, my friends and I were thinking of stupid questions one may be asked, and I thought of this question, which I do not think is too stupid of a question, and I was wondering what your answer would be... Do employees at the Lipton Tea company take coffee breaks??
Please respond to this question, I would love to know the answer... Oh, and just to let you know, I have also emailed the Nicorette company to ask them if their employees are allowed to take cigarette breaks. Thank you for your time,
CP

(I really did email Nicorette to ask them if their employees were allowed to take cigarette breaks.. they didn't answer me.... jerks)

This was the respond I got from Lipton:

Hi,
Great question. Actually our company provides complimentary tea cart service to it's employees twice a day. Coffee or tea? Hmmm...we think we'll choose tea!
Thanks for writing.
Your friends @ Lipton

Aww... how nice... well folks, now you know that the people who work at Lipton are not allowed to take coffee breaks, and that they force-feed them tea two times a day.
