    Lyons is the only one - Barrys is for Cork people and we all know they are a few sausages short of a fry up.

    Whichever one is the cheapest in the supermarket at the exact moment that I'm reading the prices from the shelf.

    It all tastes the same anyway, like wine, water and the various brands of Coca Cola.

    Lipton was invented possibly by Satan. Its really popular outside Ireland for some reason which makes travelling painful.

    I can't the difference between tea brands either, unless it's specifically flavoured with something else in it. regular old tea though? all the same .

    I would highly recommend you get yourself to a doctor at once.

    I've nothing against Bewleys, comparable to Lyons for me but it's still no match for Barry's awesome goodness.

    I couldnt taste the difference between Lyons or Barrys and I'd say using a blind taste test most people couldnt either.

    I find Barrys has a "deeper" flavour. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone else.

    Barrys always.

    I must try Campbells sometime to see if it's any good.
