There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

PASADENA, CA — While out with friends, local man Kevin Bann put up a valiant effort to feign enjoyment of an orange watery substance with little slimy balls floating in it. His friends have confirmed he is "very cool" and "with the times."
"It's more the aesthetic, not the taste…but I do like the taste!" Mr. Bann hastened to clarify his enjoyment of the tea when he sensed raised eyebrows from his friends. Sources have confirmed that Mr. Bann stumbled over himself protesting his enjoyment, adding "of course, I like slimy little balls of food in my drinks!"
Some outlets have called Bubble Tea "abominable" and compared it to "backwash from a whale's gullet," but Bann maintained that the mucus-like balls slithering down his throat are a joy. "Boba tea is cool — it's tea for people who know regular tea is boring!" Bann again grimaced as another dozen squishy balls slid cooly down into his stomach, according to eyewitnesses, but he again gave a pained smile and thumbs-up and reported "Mmm, good eatin'!"
At publishing time, Mr. Bann prayed for strength as his friends finalized plans for a big night of kimchi, kombucha, and hazy IPAs.

I’ve seen it growing - no thanks
Those things are just Tapioca, right? I love the pudding.
Goes with that ditz red head actress’ bug sandwiches.
Oh... the Bee... you got me!

How embarrassing! The largest tourist attraction in Southern Alberta, by far the largest, and richest rodeo in Canaduh, and a MAJOR rodeo in North America, and they bring THIS schitt to Calgary! When I first moved to Calgary in 1992, the first Sunday of the Stampede, they had free entry for the first 20,000 people, a pancake breakfast, and a CHURCH SERVICE in the grandstand. That is now long gone.
For decades, the Calgary Stampede billed itself as "The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth!". I guess they'll have to start billing it as "The GAYEST Outdoor Show On Earth!".
Let’s just say, I read the headline, and I had a completely different visual come to mind, one that had nothing to do with Kombucha Tea. It’s always good to read the article, right?
Boba. My boys love it. It grosses me out. All it is is tapioca, pure starch. Yuck. But then, again, they like papeda, too.
Boba drinks are delicious — but I can’t do them. Just one makes me bloat. I don’t do well with tapioca. Cheese foam coffees are delish, though.

Yeah, just tapioca starch, also known as cassava starch. Made into balls and simmered in brown sugar.

Popular around the area of FR HQ...(Hmong & Lao & Vietnamese teens like it a lot). Wife & I have Boba tea occasionally (not too much, high carbs/sugar).
Boba drinks are really good.
Fish egg tea. Yum. /sarc
