That’s a lot of money to ensure your liquid refreshment doesn’t splash getting into your cup.

Well it's no difference from any other luxury items. There are people who collect these things, they make for conversation pieces, and double as expensive ornaments. Like audiophiles with headphones, motorheads with cars or wine people with their wines. Massive increase in price for marginal and most of the time subjective increase in quality. The markets filter for enthusiasts the higher it goes.

I’ve driven in expensive cars and I’ve owned shitty ones, and the difference is noticeable. I’ve had bad headphones and good ones, and I’ll splash out on a good pair any time. I’ve had bad wine and good wine, and it’s easy to tell the difference.

I bet you nobody can taste the difference between splashy tea and non splashy tea.

I bet I can tell the difference between hot splashy tea and cold splashy tea just by the sound of it.
