The effect of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is famously described as "like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon... wrapped around a large
gold brick". It was invented by and is the favourite drink of the infamous Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Tea, of course, is the favourite drink of Arthur Dent, a close friend of Zaphod's semi-cousin Ford Prefect.
Zaphod, Arthur, Ford (and Trillian) have
interstellar adventures in
The Hitch-Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy.
The first series of
The Hitch-Hikers' Guide to the Galaxy ended with Ford and Arthur stuck on pre-historic Earth, and closed with a recording of Louis Armstrong singing "It's a wonderful world" which includes the line "I see
trees of green", which is ironic as the members of the Golgafrincham 'B' ark were, at that moment, burning down the primeval forests of Earth, to solve the hyper-inflation problem they encountered when they adopted leaves as the basis of their economy.
Whew!
