This has to be the lamest prize giveaway/competition/inducement to purchase I’ve ever seen. Buy a Twix, get a free cup of tea. What does a cup of tea cost? 3p? If you don’t have milk, it’s even less.
OK, you do get to go and redeem your cuppa at a participating tea shop, and maybe this appeals to some people, but not me. I make my tea perfectly - just the way I like it. It’s not like coffee is it? You can’t make a great cup of coffee without all the kit, so it’s worth going to a coffee shop, but tea? All I need is a good quality tea bag and some boiling water.
Have I missed the point?
Certainly, it’s not making me buy more Twix.

Only being back in the UK for several weeks, I tend to indulge in british junk food, several days ago I sought out a Twix, an old favourite. Ah ok incentive with it, bonus I thought, open the packet, you win a cup of tea, wow really, a whole cup of tea, yep this is the worst ever, really.

I’ve run out of tea bags so could be useful, alas, no Twix’s either. On reflection I think I’ll just go and buy some more tea bags from Tesco.
Absolutely, it’s a stupid idea - who comes up with this silliness!
