I'll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don't understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

Don't you need to do this anyway even if it has a string, as you'll need to squeeze the bag at the top of the mug to prevent unwanted drips. Chances are you're making a cup of tea in a kitchen and a teaspoon will be within arms reach.

Going to go out on a limb and say continental Europeans tend to drink tea without milk so don't need to use a spoon, that makes having string more important

nah just lift it out, give it a shake and let it tap the sides a bit before a swift transfer to the dustbin.

edit: the little packaging the teabags might come in can be used for transfer as well.
