You forgot the tapioca, or the thing that makes it bubble/boba.

But the sweetened ice cold milk is right imo

@ELbowloh should have tried it in Taiwan, for the real disgusting and undrinkable experience ;) Tho I'm with you on the don't get it and many shops that have popped up.

Bubble Tea.

Isn't that the key part? It's designed to appeal to kids/inner child. Choosing a combination, bright colours, intense pops of flavour, sweet as fuck, etc.

My kids love it. Agree on the savage pricing. Although our local isn't quite that much and they share one. Plus have you seen what a decent coffee costs nowadays?! #grumpyoldmen
