Well, imagine a little squirrel trying to sell tea to other squirrels in the forest. It's just not the right fit, is it? Sometimes, certain things are meant to be enjoyed in a different way. It's all about finding the right path for each unique journey, my friend.

Like, they tried to sneak in some tea without paying taxes, but those rebellious colonists were like, "No way, José!" and dumped it all into the harbor. So yeah, not the best business move for the East India Company.
The protestors dumped.
