bubble tea aka boba

[ohmai]

Who here drinks the stuff? I think I'm a bbt addict. I have at least 3-4 bbt's a week, and where I work we get it for $2, which doesn't help with my addictiveness to this drink! **** those chewy tapioca pearls ! What's your favourite flavour? Mine are probably strawberry and coffee.

I don't think I've ever even heard of this...I'd try it if it didn't have the tapioca in it. Instant gag reaction thanks to childhood daycare traumas...

 

[oc_spirit]

Mmmmmm i love th stuff!!!!!

 

[ohmai]

Would you like to elaborate on your childood trauma?
I just love the tapioca, they generally don't have taste to it except the drinks.. so it's not that bad.

I just finished drinking one large cup of the stuff !

The daycare I went to was more concerned about making the food far enough ahead of time than keeping it at a good temperature. Warm tapioca doesn't taste all that good, and they had the large bead type so really it felt like I was eating frog's eye blood pudding. I've never gotten over that revulsion.

I was raised in tapioca! Not that I enjoyed it much ,lol. I used to think it was old people food

Lol Zoom that's hilarious! I never tried tapioca besides from the pearls in bbt, so I really don't know what it tastes like. But it must've been some kinda tasty eh Zoom? =]

 

[Zoom]

Oh, totally.

Because of that place I cannot drink white milk, eat canned vegetables or grahmn crackers.

The worlds oldest woman drank some tea laced with wiskey every day. And she lived to be 122 so I dont know about the tea part but the wiskey might work.

Whiskey used to be good for you...whiskey to steady nerves, calm a crying baby, numb a teething baby's gums, warm up from the cold...now it's the poster child of AA.

Coke once had crack in it.

 

[Zoom]

Boy, did we miss out or what?

 

[RD]

what exactly IS bubble tea?

 

[shredhead (DOG LOVER)]

I used to drink that stuff. I thought it was pretty good. I used try to get all the tapioca ball i could in my mouth and shoot it at my friends through those straws. We must've gotten kicked out of atleast 10 little coffee shop places. All fun though.
