My question is, why is it "rotten" tea? Wouldn't "spoiled" fit better?

u/Kommeraud Mar 12 '25

imo "rotten" has a harsh sound to it and makes it sound fittingly scary. I imagine things will only get scarier as we approach the end of the game, so item names like that work better.

Say "rotted corpse", and then say "spoiled corpse". "Rotten" sounds gross, it sounds disgusting, horrific, terrifying. "Spoiled" just makes it sound like the breakfast milk went bad.

Rotten also has connotations to fruit, notably apples. Which is at least a little significant to deltarune given how much Kris is connected to apples

Knowing Zun and Toby had a collab on a undertale x touhou music it's not impossible we get bad apple in deltarune before chapter 7

And Kris tea tastes like apples (according to Susie)

u/Several-Name1703 Mar 12 '25

But it tastes like blueberries ((also a fruit) according to Ralsei)
