Are You Addicted to Bubble Tea?

[novon]

I've lost count... It's an expensive but tasty habit.


For Those That Don't Know

 

[slydecix]

heck yes.

 

[OS]

that stuff is really played out and a cup is like 500 calories

 

[DaWhim]

hell no...
I don't like it at all. stop wasting your money on those is my advice.

 

[Gibson486]

too expensive and not even that great. I prefer a regular milk shake.

Bubble tea is why I stop in Chinatown if I happen to be nearby. 😀

I hope u are joking

500 calories?? WTF??

I drink like a cup a day

 

[Feldenak]

Never heard of it.

regular tea > overpriced bubble tea crap

 

[BladeWalker]

Mmmm...I love to suck tapioca pearls.

 

[virtuamike]

Never heard it called bubble tea, maybe I'm slow

 

[Ikonomi]

I like it a lot, and also the girl at the teahouse.

I miss this stuff. Back when I worked in NYC, a deli a few blocks away served it. Since quitting that job in November, though, I've had nowhere to buy it. As much as I love bubble tea, it's not worth trecking into the city just to buy a cup.

Chinese iced tea, on the other hand, I'll cross mountains for 😛 fortunately, I recently discovered a Chinese restaurant a few blocks from my house that sells it.

I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. We lack culture. We'll probably have a bubble tea shop in like 10 years from now, when the trend starts dying out everywhere else. For godssakes we just got our first hookah bar a few months ago! 😛

 

[Corporate Thug]

no, i hate boba

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

Yes. but sadly, none good here.

bubble tea/boba != culture.

most people that rant and rave about boba fall into one of two groups imho. either fobs or trendy asians. 🙂

usually the east coast expression

 

[CptObvious]

I like the green tea boba but I've had it only twice in my life.

 

[slydecix]

the iced taro milk tea is my favorite

 

[yhelothar]

ya I love it!
I only like the ones that are sweet, warm and chewy... Many places give you the exact opposite.. nasty shit.
Ya it's wayyy overpriced in US. Before it became a trend here, it used to sell at taiwan in small stands on the corner of the street for a few cents a cup.
