SYNOPSIS: Fed up with the destructive culture of cold, sugary drinks, our speaker takes solace in the next best thing: a cup of hot tea marketed to give a lonely young man a sense of community. But along making him feel like he belongs to the “T-Zola generation,” this backfired marketing makes him a bigger target for bullying and exclusion. When threatened by a group of aggressive classmates, he’s forced into making a quick, and perhaps wrongheaded, decision.
