Ok, bubble tea or boba tea?..

They are pretty much the same, a juice or fruit flavored milk with tapioca pearls on the bottom...

Which one do you call it?

QFT. Pearl Milk Tea is the only way it should be called.

Damn the places called bubble or boba.

Q-Cup has the best pearls and is the cheapest for me.
Quickly has their BS 99 cent crap which isn't that great, but its cheap.
Tapioca Express is where all the "gangstuh asians" hang out back in my hometown. I havent gone their enough times for drinks to say it's great or anything.. it's just decent.
Verde has crap regular PMT but decent fruity drinks and great lunch deals. Too many ppl there.
Fantasia is expensive, but I think their fruity drinks taste the best. Avg regular PMT.

It's invented in Taiwan, however even in Taiwan they call it three different names....

Boba is also a correct term to because that's a Taiwanese slang for big bouncing "breastest" used to describe how big & Q (slang for soft & chewy) it is.

Ah, I guess I know where Q-Cup got their name from.... come to think of it, D-Cup would be a good name too.

I just call it what it says on the price sign. If it says Bubble I will ask for a bubble. Only one place had Boba so that is what I asked for. Makes things easier.
