    I wonder who the culprits are. I wonder if the guy will sue the company. But at least the executives are humbly apologizing regardless of who is to blame, a classy gesture execs in other country could learn instead of passing the buck.

    [humor]Hmmm, it looks like the other executive is bending way more than the requisite 45-degree angle for a formal apology[/humor].

    If the company that sold the tea was named Kao, and this incident leads to a loss of face for the company, does that mean they will have to change their name to Kaonashi?
