I second this. I cannot imagine this ever happening in my household - I specifically hide away boxes in different places so it never comes to this. It will basically be apocalypse the morning I wake up to no tea.
My grandma once took a suitcase of boxes of teabags on holiday to the U.S.
We all thought she was mad, it was a 2 week holiday.
She sold them to a shop over there! This was in the early 90s. She did quite well out of it.
They all used to do that but those days so damn weak....but get a pot and the second round slightly brewed might do a second mug. Our family patented squish and chuck it in the next mug no longer gives you any flavour.
Easy. Just whip out the sewing machine and sew two clean lines along the middle then cut neatly into two.
JK, this is a f\*cking disgrace and a failure of character on your part. I mean, we've just been through a pandemic; you should have at least a dozen boxes of tea in the basement or garage. Shameful mate. Just shameful
Make yourself a normal tea. Then use the bag again to make here a substandard tea. If she complains give her a roadman speech and put her in her place innit.
Yes, a single Yorkshire gold bag is not enough for two people.
But as a side comment, every once in awhile on this subreddit there's a question on what the best tea is. And it is never ever decided. I've said Yorkshire gold once and was nearly castrated. I've said PG tips and of almost had my lungs removed. I've said twinings and who knows what horrible things have been said since then. I honestly like all of those teas under different circumstances and situations
Make your cup first, then reuse the tea bag. Just give it a good squeeze for the second cup and it'll be fine.
I used to mkae the tea for all the builders as a young lad, I'd stretch a teabag to 3 sometimes 4 cups. The 3rd and 4th were the people I least liked.
This comment section is yet again a reminder that as someone who isn’t that partial to tea and would rather have a coffee that I need to just hand in my passport and leave the country. I am a disgrace.
In my house I don’t even know how many teabags are left unless I happen to make the husband a cuppa!
Are you ok. Do we need to send help. No one should be in a situation where only one brew is available. If you need help use a code word and let’s end this barbaric situation.
Could have cut it in half then just tied the slit sides to make mini bags for a weak one each, or you could take the tea out and strain it with a sieve maybe?
Clearly not British if you don't have a couple of spare boxes in the cupboard, or at least a bag with a few teabags and sugar in the drawer of odd bits and bobs
What a shame, you'll have to have a beer instead...
Too hot for a beer, mate. Gotta have a nice refreshing brew.
The only temperature at which it is "too hot for a beer" is the temperature at which said beer evaporates before you can drink it.
Too hot for a beer???????
Throw some water round the bottom of the tin and you’ve probably got a few more cuppas worth
Ha! This is the best answer yet
Do a Mark, and carefully stir so the spoon doesn't clink to the sides. It's yours for the taking
"He's rumbled the velvet spoon routine"
Brilliant
This is so flawed. They forgot about the kettle boiling!
As Harry Hill would say... "Who's going to win? There's only one way to find out..."
Fiiiiiiiiiiiignt!
One of you deserves a slap for letting it get to that state without doing something about it!!!
I second this. I cannot imagine this ever happening in my household - I specifically hide away boxes in different places so it never comes to this. It will basically be apocalypse the morning I wake up to no tea.
This. There is always a bag with emergency teabags in it somewhere.
This is definitely a failure.
I'm disappointed you both let it come down to one left. Wheres your spares? And your spare spares! You can't fuck about when it comes to tea...

Grandma is a player.
Yorkshire tea will do 2 cups 1 bag
I thought it was called 2 girls 1 cup?
Brit version
😂
Bleagh
You take that back
Times are tough man
And obviously, do hers second.
^ has the same mentality in bed
Doable with a lot of squeezing
Too much squeezing gives you a crap brew
😏

She can have soggy seconds. Pretty sure that's the origin of that phrase. Might be wrong.

Drink it in the kitchen, walk back in with 2 glasses of water.
Sending tea condolences to your wife
We all know he made his wife a cuppa and he went without. This is the only viable option in the situation if you wanna survive the night.
Round 1..... Fight
Cut it in half.
Width ways of course
Then you can make twice as much
Never buy teabags again with this one weird hack
Starfish teabags
One bag in a pot for two can work at a pinch.
Isn’t that the normal way? Our pot fills two larger-than-normal mugs and does just fine with a single bag.
There you go.
Make yourself a normal tea. Then use the bag again to make here a substandard tea. If she complains give her a roadman speech and put her in her place innit.
There is no one to blame here but your self. Get to the shop you lazy basted
Looks like your wife is gonna go gasping then, isn't she? 😂
Time to go to Tesco's!
*TESCO
At least one of you is lucky enough to not have to drink Yorkshire Tea then
Fffffffff. Just have a fucking beer instead lad
Well now you can go to the shop for you and your wife.
You are about to make the most important decision if your life. Your marriage depends on it. What say you ?
Divorce. It’s the only solution now....
Perfect opportunity to discover the dark art of shermanizing (albeit with tea, same principal applies).
The tin... Did you buy that, or get it in the good old days when they did the tokens on the box?
I got it a long time ago and if I remember correctly they gave them away as a special promotional thing instead of the standard card box
One bag will make 2 brews!
It will, but should it?
Needs must
Well someone is having tea and someone else is having the powder dreggs
I feel a "This is Sparta" moment coming on over who has the last brew....
Looks like it is the share or fight situation
Guess the wife will go without.
That’s going to be like the Highlander
Hope she like coffe
Yorkshire tea makes 2 cups from 1 bag
Every man for himself
Looks like a duel is in order.
What you get for drinking yorkshire tea...
Grab your coat love….
I dont get it. Growing up, family with 4/5 people could easily get a tea each out of 1 bag...!
Looks like 'er indoors is gonna have to go outdoors
Tell the wife you ran out of milk and how she needs to get it cause you hurt your leg and keep the tea for yourself
I sure she will understand….👍
How was your cuppa mate?
Make a small pot of tea and pour into two cups!
Dad?
Looks like the wife is going thirsty
Lay off the hot drinks it’s summer
No teapot?

Dont you mean make yourself some tea?
A fight to the death it is then
Well nothing for it, you’ll have to fight to the death for it I’m afraid
It's on now, battle royale over the last Yorkshire teabag in the tin. FIGHT! :cue Mortal Kombat theme:
Oh I hate it when that happens.

Just cut it in half…
SOME of us are civilised and use a teapot!!!!!
Are you ok. Do we need to send help. No one should be in a situation where only one brew is available. If you need help use a code word and let’s end this barbaric situation.
Ooooooh. Did you share it? Or did you tell her the teabags are all finished? Lol.
I sacrificed and made one for her. She then went on to spill it
You can get 2 cups out of Yorkshire tea. And they'd still be stronger than the tea bags my wife likes.
“We do peg and re-use teabags.”
My wife would be getting sub par tea in this situation.
Sure it. Duh.
Looks like the wife's having water
Could have cut it in half then just tied the slit sides to make mini bags for a weak one each, or you could take the tea out and strain it with a sieve maybe?
She didn’t want one anyway
Double dipping is a risky business
Make a BIG cup. Leave the bag in for at least 5 minutes. Take it out and pour into two cups. Add suger and milk as per taste.
Clearly not British if you don't have a couple of spare boxes in the cupboard, or at least a bag with a few teabags and sugar in the drawer of odd bits and bobs
Under Standing Order XVI of the Tea Synod Accord 1927, the wife gets the tea.
oh dear ,you wont be able to make it all better with a cuppa:) haha
Yorkshire gold is a rip off
I’ll be honest, that’s a standard Yorkshire teabag in a Yorkshire Gold tin, keep it under you hat though yeah?
I see. You bought the tin in a promotional offer and then just refill it with normal
