I'm thinking that I'll pick up a cup of tea tomorrow. The prices are really high ($3.50/cup) but before 1 p.m. every day, all drinks (including the bubble thingies) are only $2.

I've heard that in SoCal and other really trendy places there are bubble tea shops every 10 feet and you can get it for $1/cup. Anyone here a fan of bubble tea?

Psh, I wish... $1/cup???

Mmmmmmmmmm, milk boba tea from BobaWorld... $3.75 a cup, but it's worth it. They have cars they stamp every time you buy... every card has like 8 squares, and I've filled 6 so far... (gah... $180 on boba tea o_O )

WOW!

You like Bubble Tea AND Honey Mustard?!? The perfect woman!

I like honey mustard too, but only when it's in the form of Wendy's fries being dipped in their honey mustard sauce. :p

It probably means bubbles, which, as you know can be an ambiguous term.
