I will echo what Swaggy Shooter has said however. This plant really is a poor man's Explode-O-Nut. Explode-O-Nut is better in almost every conceivable way. It does almost twice as much damage, has a lower sun cost and faster recharge, and actually takes time to be eaten, meaning it can potentially stall zombies a bit before exploding. Not to mention the fact that Explode-O-Nut doesn't require itself to be eaten before it triggers, only for it to be destroyed outside of being burnt/stolen, meaning Gargs can trigger Explode-O-Nut, but not Electrici-tea.

The only advantage Electrici-tea has over Explode-O-Nut is that piddly passive damage, but I think if Electric Currant and Phat Beet have taught us anything, it's that passive damage like that is generally very unreliable and hard to pull off.
