Garron Noone, a comedian and musician from Co Mayo, took to social media earlier this month to share his absolute disgust toward No More Tea Bags ... an aerosol spray can of tea.
Tea is sacred to the Irish. If you don't drink tea in Ireland it comes as a shock to some people, and if you don't know how to make a decent cup of tea, well ... that's almost grounds for excommunication!
So, it comes as no surprise just how upset Noone became when he discovered No More Tea Bags via a British meme.
(The British meme, however, incorrectly blames America for No More Tea Bags, which are actually a UK invention!)
"There's nothing f---in' wrong with tea bags!" Noone emphatically says in his viral video. "You're trying to solve a problem that was already a solution!"
Before showing a "hard to watch" clip of how No More Tea Bags works, Noone explains: "Essentially it's tea in an aerosol can. Tea is being treated as some sort of a smell."
He's only horrified as the demonstration of No More Tea Bags begins.
"Now he adds water that's not even really that warm," an increasingly upset Noone says.
"Also there does appear to be some form of a froth forming, I can't watch anymore!"
Noone muses: "This is now how things were supposed to go. We were supposed to have flying cars and look what we're doing with our time.
"We need to have a good hard look at ourselves. Mainly America."

No More Tea Bags hit the market back in 2016. Maker Guy Woodall told Reuters at the time: "It was really about just trying to make a better cup of tea.
"Of course there's an element of convenience with this and not having a soggy tea bag to get rid of at the end of it."
The Irish public reacted as you'd expect, and The Daily Edge published some of the reactions in 2016.
One posted on Twitter "This is heresy," while another wrote, "Gross I've just seen a pic of an aerosol which squirts tea no way Jose that's not normal tea in a bag or loose leaves."
