the latest thing....for me


i have heard about bubble tea for about a year now.  it has been served at some places i've gone to regularly, but i just couldn't get myself to do it.  something about having to have a gigantic, enormous straw to suck up gelatanous masses into your mouth...ewww. 

i ordered one in MN but i don't know exactly what happened.  the guys took 5 minutes to even help me, and then, that paired with my confusion over what to order, gave me this gross tasting drink that cost $5 and then didn't have the tapioca in it. 

i went to this movie theater that i frequent and just ordered the tea.  i acted like i was a boba tea whore.  like i really knew what i was doing...and i got the real thing.  i don't think that i even got out of the car before i tried it. 

it was very, very good, very addictive, and i can see what a big deal it is and why it is that.  you may ask why?  i don't know.  the theory of it is really quite gross.  you shouldn't have to chew things while you are drinking.  it is not, in any way, something you should have on a first date.  you may choke, or worse, have black tapioca chains hanging down your chin.  (not that that happened to me, but i'm just sayin').

I tried it once, & that was enough for me. But then i'm the kid that hated gum drops & jelly beans (tho i have quite a sweet tooth) & the tapioca was just too gross for me.

They do make it without the tapioca & i have had a peach one that is divine! However, since i've been cutting back on sugar i find it too sweet.

I've never tried boba but I love tapioca so maybe I should!

I love bubble tea. And you're right - it doesn't seem right that you have to work so hard at drinking ... but, seriously, it's worth it! You're making me ache for some tapioca and it's only 8:30AM. Sigh.

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
