:cheer: Another one for you, the survey of 100 people found that when presented with two brands of breakfast cereals, orange juice and yoghurt drink, 76% believed the blue packaged variety to be healthier than the alternative despite the fact that they were equally low fat. On the other hand, orange encourages consumers to buy more as it makes them think of abundance and indulgence.

Well done, you have got the right answer, it is TEA. Experts say that the chief culprits are supermarket 'value' tea bags which may not cost you much but are often made up of low-quality tea. Tea experts recommend that customers treat the drink like wine and spend a little extra to appreciate the flavour.
