Help Us Celebrate 08/08/08!
Greetings Tea Friends!
This year continues to march on faster and faster as we make our way to 2009! August is such a wonderful time of year here at SBS Teas as we start to look forward to fall and the upcoming holiday season. This month however has a special twist to it. Today is 08/08/08! What a remarkable date! Not only is the date unusual but this is the start of the Olympics in Beijing. I decided to look into why this date might have been chosen for such a special event.
The Chinese believe the number eight to be very lucky. The number eight is meant to bring happiness and fortune so three eights will really be special! The number eight is thought to be involved with material matters such as money making, industry and commerce and all things of this world. This date in China has a record number of wedding applications for many of these reasons!
The number eight is also associated with these interesting facts:
*There are eight pints in a gallon.
*Eight is one of three numbers that stay the same when you write it upside down.
*There are eight legs on scorpions and spiders.
* Eight is a racing boat with 8 oars. It's crew is also called an eight.
* Before Christianity there were eight days in Greek and Roman weeks.
As you can see the number eight holds many special characteristics. We thought it would be fun to celebrate this unique number and date with a special SBS Teas sale. Today only we will take 8% off any order. The shopping cart will automatically take the discount so there is no need for a coupon code.
We hope you enjoy this remarkable day and are blessed with much happiness and good fortune!
Happy Sipping from the SBS tea Ladies!
