True/False

Victor has breakfast at the Kute Kafey. From the menu, he orders buttered muffins "homemade like your mother's," jam "made with loving care and fresh ingredients," and tea "fresh-picked from the cool hillsides of an Indian plantation." Actually, the muffins are nothing like Victor's mum's muffins and are baked in a factory, the jam is mass-produced from industrial-quality frozen fruit, and the tea is made with no-name tea bags.
