           they basically gave her a runaround
       tea is inconvenient
           it doesn't wake you up when it's supposed to and just makes it hard to sleep in the middle of the day
       Pravda?!
           it was supposed to come out before halloween, but it didn't, so it's costume themed and that's weird
           next theme is "I'm a pretty, 'pretty', princess"
       SUBMIT TO PRAVDA
