"Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?"

- Steven Wright

About this Quote

This quote by Steven Wright is a humorous way of mentioning the irony of the situation. Lipton is a tea company, so it would be odd for their workers to take coffee breaks. It is a play on words, as the expression "coffee break" is typically used to refer to a time-out taken throughout the workday. The quote suggests that Lipton workers ought to take tea breaks instead of coffee breaks, as it would be more fitting for the company. It is an easy going way of satirizing the situation and making a joke out of it. The quote is a tip that sometimes the most apparent services are the best ones, and that it is important to believe outside package.
