Bubble tea…

My teens love it. I tried it once and sucked in one of the tapioca balls through the straw and nearly choked to death. I decided, for my safety, that I did not like bubble tea any longer.

My teen GDs have been fans of this for quite some time. Not that I have tried it. It doesn't seem to have filtered down to SW Wales yet.

I love all milk puddings but dont think Id try this. Whats wrong with a normal cup of tea or coffee.

We’ve recently had a shop open in my town, my GC love it so I tried it and it’s lovely. To me, it sounded like an odd concept but I tried it and it didn’t disappoint.

I haven't tried, or heard of, Bubble tea. But I love Tapioca.
The frogspawn one and the other type.
Can't remember what it is called.

Is it sago?

I love tapioca. ?

I love tapioca too - always have a tin of Ambrosia tapioca in the cupboard

I’d never heard of it before this thread. I think I’ll give it a miss.

My Daughter loves Bubble tea but it isn't for me.

I have had bubble tea once in a Chinese restaurant. It was OK but nothing to rave about.

There was a recent case of a 14 year old girl in China who was taken to hospital and found to have over 100 undigested "bubbles" in her stomach. Just something to bear in mind if your grandkids drink a lot of bubble tea. Sounds like the bubbles might be hard to digest.

Doesnt sound like my cup of tea at all

Well, I've just one question- on which level is this tea??

I certainly don't want an expensive drink that has Tapioca in it. It has no health benefits as far as I know.

I need to try it, I think.
Does it pop in your mouth?

What on earth is bubble tea?

I love tapioca. ?

Surely it's not normal to love tapioca? ?

I only put one in my mouth once, never again!
Frogspawn as it was known at school.

I don't think I'll be trying this tea.

Dépends what one’s interpretation of normal is Cali ?

Frogspawn at our school too.

I had first dibs on an extra helping from any girl who didn’t want hers. Wonderful stuff.

GDs quickly tired of this craze, finding it too sweet and too expensive to spend pocket money on. My treat at their age was Creamola Foam.

Yes, another girl on my table used to eat my frogspawn and sago too.
I do like rice pudding.

The picture in the OP is enough to put me off; I hope no-one I know orders it when I'm out with them!

I need to get out more, I’ve never heard of it.

You might as well chuck a packet of jelly sweets in a milkshake!

Sounds good to me

I wonder what hot chocolate would be like with Maltesers in it?

There is a maletsers hot chocolate already.
Would it be the same, or would it pop in your mouth?

What have I missed?!

"Male" tesers, according to my phone!
The mind boggles.

Never heard of it.
I don’t have anything sweet to drink, in any case.Will stick to Earl Grey tea in my china mug.?

I dislike it,but my grandchildren like going as a treat
