What if “boba” is code for bugs?

A good fruity drink with chunks of fruit to chew is awesome! I also like to kinda chew on the ice in a slushie, not like rough ice chunks but compacted slush.

Boba tea doesn't gross me out, but the balls don't appeal to me either. Just extra stuff that adds nothing fun.

There's so many different types of boba "balls", and even the "same" ones have different textures and flavours depending on the boba shop you buy from!

Many boba shops (at least the ones here in HK) also offer an incredible selection of different things you can have in your drink in place of just tapioca pearls, stuff like grass jelly, aloe vera, agar jelly, basil seeds, red beans, pudding, and the list goes on.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something from boba shops that tickles your fancy, even if it's just fruit tea with coconut jelly chunks.

No, I don't think I will. It really does fall in the category of just not wanting flavor balls in my liquid drink, the whole concept is unappealing to me outside of liquids with more texture like blended fruit. Fruit chunks in that are great!

Yes, I tried over a dozen times already because my daughter loves boba tea. It just isn't my thing.

I did list a whole bunch of things that aren't balls but hey, I don't mind if boba's not everyone's cup of tea, because that means more for me!
