Front panel of a box of Yorkshire Tea.

It’s because of your taste buds that the Yorkshire Tea hurt Daddy’s brain is a joke by Karl Jones, posted in a comment on the Boing Boing discussion board on August 18, 2019.

The comment, which responds to another comment where Yorkshire Tea is introduced, reads:

Thank God, thank God. I thought was alone.

It is so bad, I could not bring myself to denounce it, so startling is the effect – one begins to doubt one’s senses.

“It’s because of your taste buds that the Yorkshire Tea hurt Daddy’s brain.”

This is an allusion to parent-child relationship dysfunction when the parent, in this case Daddy, is an alcoholic.
