[rucabela]

can anyone tell me if it´s popular in the uk,usa etc to collect sugar packets or tea bags in individual sealed envelopes
they are both hugely popular here in portugal and in belgium,holland and some other european countries
i have some of them and wanted to know if there was anyone interested in this hobby..............ROY

If by "collect" you mean "steal from the cafe and then use at home", then yes. If not, then I can't say I've come across anyone who does.

SUGAR PACKETS,yes,shame on me and many others,but not using,keeping them intact
very collectable here,they even have their own websites etc
teabags aswell,the ones that come individually wrapped anyway..........ROY

You could start a whole new category

But it will have to wait for now.......roy

That is so interesting. I collect them for later consumption. Are you interested in USA sugar bags or tea bags?

I have sold gold panning kits to Portugal. Do you all have good productive mining areas in Portugal?

I must say that I haven't heard about collecting teabags. As a child in Germany I collected wrapped sugar cubes. thinking about it, I haven't come across those here in the UK (maybe I don't go out enough)

yes,there are old gold mines here that are being re.opened because of the high price of gold
i am interested in sugar packets. and tea bags( if they are individually wrapped)
that is the collectable part(the packet)
i,myself,am a keen collector of banknotes(bills) of the world
thanks for replying....ROY

teabags,believe it or not is a huge collectors area in belgium and holland and also other european countries
i have swapped with people from about 6 or 7 countries and not all europe(indonesia,singapore etc)

i have only found 2 lots of sugar packets on ebid,and they are from an american airline specialist
so maybe is a good time to try.............ROY
