Face your fears.. drown them away.. take comfort in tea.

I enjoy herbal tea. I drink green tea as a matter of fact.. sometimes nighttime tea.. sometimes tummy tea. All that.

But watching horror movie icons, such as Pennywise the clown, drown in a hot cup of Herbaria is alarming.

Whatever happened to rustic pastures filled with green grass and purple mountains of majesty? Or the birds flying calmly over a sea of golden water as the sun sets. I can think of plenty more relaxing images than watching Pennywise die of drowning.. in your tea.

I get the concept. The ‘drown your fears ‘thing means to let go and just ….relax. 

But relaxation and brutal images don’t go together well.

Horror movie fans may be fine with the concept. As for me it is not offensive at all. But for Herbaria’s marketing technique, I just don’t know how well this will work. A video of Pennywise dying on camera……and the message telling you to just relax. It just does not seem to work. 

Advertising folks out there, or even tea drinkers, I’d love to hear your thoughts?
