You are out of your mind. Their site flat out does not work with the default behavior of most modern browsers. In chrome, you get nothing but a tiny bit of text with no option to continue to the main site. In firefox and IE, you get a browser notification that the site is trying to open up a popup window.

I have FireFox/NoScript, and with that it's even worse: After a few seconds of a screen with a tiny "broken plugin" window, it does a redirect to a "noflash" page. The only link on that page is to the Adobe Flash download. The redirect is one where the back button doesn't work; to me that's one of the most incompetent web design flaws: Send people away from your main page and then not give them a way to get back. It's bad enough they demand you have Flash (do all iPhone/iPad users drink coffee?) I've seen similar "Please enable JavaScript in your browser" pages without a path back to the main page as well. Idiocy.

You had me at the first sentence. I thought there was something genuinely broken about that site. If that is the expected behavior, and it's far from good, someone ought to get reprimanded for that job.

"You are out of your mind. Their site flat out does not work with the default behavior of most modern browsers" I think you are missing the fleitz's point. From his post: "It ok for Tazo to have a crappy landing page" They are omnipresent in meatspace. I'd say they overspent on the website. They could have gone with a one-pager that said something like "We're Tazo Tea. You can find us everywhere. Go buy some." He wasn't saying that is OK their site is non-functioning but that they really don't even need a website.

  That is an entirely different discussion. Public: Your website doesn't work Tazo: We are so awesome! Want to ride on my giraffe? It's made out of MONEY!
