Social Distancing Teapots

Yorkshire Tea's Ad Reminds of Safe Distancing Guidelines for the Office

As people see their favorite businesses reopening again and are preparing to return to the office, they are learning new protocols and adapting to social distancing guidelines in public places. To offer a humorous perspective on unprecedented times, Yorkshire Tea created an ad for a social distancing teapot with an extra-long spout that's designed to help coworkers keep a safe amount of space between them.

With a variety of comical scenarios, the social distancing teapot can be seen in action, ultimately causing more trouble than it seems to be worth. After deciding that the teapot with a two-meter spout "probably isn't the answer," Yorkshire Tea advises people to enjoy their tea safely as they navigate the return to work.
