For kids.

For cats who've learned to turn on the kettle.

In the UK, tetrahedral tea-bags are quite popular (Increased volume when compared with 'flat' tea-bags allows more tea-water diffusion) - and can be used to teach kids about basic Platonic solids

Platonic solids?..Are those solids that don"t have sex?

I hate fish, and I hate tea. Not platonically.

I've seen reports on very sweet (bottled) tea for children as a health problem; it rots their teeth.

I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe it's just that *I*d like fish-shaped tea bags. (But I'd like pokemon-shaped ones, too. Pikachu Pekoe, Charmander Camomille, and Squirtle Earl Grey!)

Hmm.. Fish-tea puts me in mind of Japanese green tea, which often gets brewed with all sorts of additives, including, if I'm not mistaken, some sort of dried fish-flakes. I only remember hearing about this once, so I could be wrong.

Please don't read that: Used tampons would make a great "fish tea"

Going one step further, I think every food product should be available in a variety of shapes. Surely we have the technology to grow bananas shaped like cats, and why can't Pizza Hut deliver my pie in the shape of a star?

I'd be for it if I weren't against teabags.

They could be easily sewn out of muslin, and reusable, and you could probably do something witty with the gathering-string connected to a hook at the 'mouth'.

Don't you think that'd be a bit disconcerting? ("Oh look--there's a fish floating around in my hot drink!")

Not a bad idea. Rather clever.
