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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭minion35


    Either Lyons or Tetley. Barry's is a crock of ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    I buy the two.

    The Barry's is for my friends and I. Lyon's is for the servants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    Typhoo.

    Tetleys if Typhoo is unavailable.

    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.

    Barry's are so far superior to the others its not even worth talking about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭fleet_admiral


    Barrys loose tea cant be beaten


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 896 ✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    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 know... it's Barry's here at the office. Like over-stewed battery acid. :(

    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.

    On a side note I actulay wonder if there is a Mr Barry or a Mr Lyons in real life? Or is it all a marketing ploy....

    I have a friend who's a Mr Barry. He used to always have generic Aldi tea at home.

    Your a Lyon baxtard! I never said that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭shockwave


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 896 ✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 912 ✭✭✭chakotha


    Barrys always.

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