so it turns out the celestial seasonings founders were in fact cult members idk what to do with this information but this is like wild:

The Sleepytime Tea Founders Were Into a Really Skeezy New-Age Bible

In no time the friends were sauntering into the local bank to get a loan for their new business, “wearing jeans, smelling of herbs, and armed with Tupperware containers of Mo’s 36 and Sleepytime blends.” They called their company Celestial Seasonings, after co-founder Lucinda Ziesing’s flowername.

But there might be another reason they named it “celestial.” Mo Siegel and John Hay, two of the founders, were avid believers in a new-age bible called The Urantia Book, which followers call “an epochal revelation authored solely by celestial beings.” The book touches upon everything from mind control to a eugenics plot to eliminate the “inferior races” of our great nation.

not even the tea is safe

Having read the article, I’m pretty sure Brent Spiner played Mo Siegel on Leverage.

None of the original founders own the company now

It’s not that deep
