#3I've been hooked since I tried a wonderful frozen cup(blended ice) of chai flavor back in college. I sought it out in many cities I've traveled to, to recreate the experience, but either I am unlucky or it is a rarer flavor and many places use ice cubes and not blended ice.
It is amazing that the industry has grown to the point where most medium sized cities now have a place where you can purchase boba tea.
But for those still lacking, I highly recommend you try making it yourself. You can find the ingredients in just about any Asian market or order the flavor and pearls online. If you go this route, try to get the extra wide straws as well.

#7I once went to a Bubble Tea place, and not knowing how the process worked, I said no to all of the additions, and ended up with nothing but chocolate milk and a big straw.

#8Gross. I had bubble tea exactly once while interviewing at FB. I had to choke it back and try not look like an idiot.
Pretty sure that is the one and only reason why I didn't get an offer - "this dude is clearly from the Midwest and has no place here." /s

#9Bubble tea is bizarre. I only recently stumbled upon it on a trip to Bankgkok after a local said "let's get something to drink". I fell in love with it immediately.
It's something that has not yet fully permeated Northern Europe, and Helsinki (where I live) has (or had..) one or two places to get it from (pre-pandemic).
