Agreed that the US is a bigger potential market than Switzerland for lots of
things, certainly Lipton tea. Don't go by your own tea consumption, though.
It's unclear from your post how much *Lipton* you drink. (I consume around
1-3 liters/day myself, but no Lipton at all.)

But first and foremost, the page is advertising aimed at the general public.
One should'nt take sales claims on advertising (especially those made with
the registered trademark symbol) as necessarily accurate. :-)
