bilby Ha, sorry trivet but I'm swept away by the epicaricacy of envisioning you being beaten up by bubble tea! Sep 2, 2008
kewpid I (stereotypically) drink these rather often. Oct 25, 2007
reesetee Eew. Eeeeeeew. Oct 25, 2007

yarb trivet - from what you say about the pearls hitting the roof of your mouth, I hate to say it, but it sounds like you're sucking too hard. Oct 25, 2007
chained_bear Trivet, this is one of the funniest comments I've seen in a long time. Every time I see it flying by, I crack up.
*twitch*
Ha ha! Oct 25, 2007
chained_bear I admit the floating blobs--we decided they were either adzuki beans or tapioca pearls, or both--were kind of funky-weird, but it was tasty and fun. Like a chewy milkshake. Oct 24, 2007
trivet I hate the bubbles! They ricochet out of the straw and punch you in the roof of your mouth. Pearls, my ass. *twitch* Oct 24, 2007
uselessness I think Boba is just the brand name of the local company that sells it here. But that's what my friends call it. The strangest drink I've had since Orbitz. Oct 24, 2007
yarb I've not heard it called boba tea before. I wonder if it was served on board Slave 1? And the pearls (or "floating blobs") if you prefer) are kind of icky I suppose, but therein lies the appeal. It's rather an obscene drink, all told. Oct 24, 2007
uselessness What is that? Is it like boba tea? I'm so uncultured when it comes to food...
Edit: Wikipedia tells me they are one and the same. A lot of my friends like that stuff. I think it tastes decent, but the floating blobs are gross. Oct 24, 2007
yarb I think I had milk in mine.
Funny, I don't have a strong desire to do it again. But I know that when the circumstances are right, the urge will possess me. Oct 24, 2007
chained_bear Ooh! I had some last Friday. I had honeydew flavor. Someone I was with had mango, and I got to try that one too. I liked honeydew better.
Weirdly, I was told there was no milk or cream in it (I have problems with lactose). I'm not sure I believe them, though I had no ... uh ... digestive issues. Oct 24, 2007
yarb I tried this for the first time recently and it was every bit as weird and wonderful as I'd hoped; like a space-age milkshake. It was a cold, windy, shitty evening. I had taro flavour and I will always remember the sensation of the warm pearls sliding up the thick straw and dissolving on my tongue in a sweet wash of taro.
I recommend bubble tea to anyone unfamiliar with it. Oct 24, 2007
