WELCOME TO THE SALTY SPITOON, HOW TOUGH ARE YA?

TIL I'm not really a fan of bubble tea. It doesn't taste *bad*, but I can only get about a third of the way through a cup before I start to get sick of it. By halfway, I am feeling like if I drink any more I'll make myself sick. So it goes.
On the bright side, I also learned I like dan dan mian. Mmm... noodles.

By that I mean, "Ew, gross"
"corpse-goop" isn't usually ivory-colored.
It's a sweeter-than-usual "tea with milk" and with balls of tapioca starch mixed in as a gimmick.

Yeah, it's usually green
I was afraid it was tea made from the corpse-goop of European owls
I really like bubble tea. I think it's because of the larger pearls. I hate the mouth feel of tapioca pudding.
Gimmick? Gimmick??? You take that back, good sir, or else I shall have to duel you to defend the honor of the ambrosia that is bubble tea!
I've had the pleasure of drinking spiced chai that made boxed Oregon chai taste like thin Kool-Aid, the same way I've made Mexican hot chocolate that made Nestlé's/Hershey's taste like watered-down Yoo-hoo.
Bubble tea is a gimmick. It is a pleasant one (much like Orbitz), but the starch balls do not really add anything to the flavor. They do not enhance the tea, they only enhance the experience of drinking the tea.

... I'm ok with that. That's fine.

Not today, but recently I learned that over the course of a year, the average person's shit* contains about $8 worth of gold and silver.
*well, biosolids found in waste. Presumably some of that comes from piss, shed skin, hair, etc as well.

...ONLY EIGHT BUCKS?! DAMMIT-I knew R&D was screwing with me.
that article left out the $2.000 worth of plutonium and cocain, don't worry.

Maybe my palate is unrefined, but I preferred the powdered stuff to Mexican hot chocolate. The Mexican stuff is far too intense to me.
This explains much.
...though note, "Mexican hot chocolate" is not the same thing as "Mexican cocoa." I'm not talking about the wedges of coarse cocoa you blend with hot milk, I'm talking about a simmered beverage.
I know in the EU they mandate a phone has to come with a standard charger format, so Apple came (was forced to come?) out with this adapter. Is that not the same in South America?
--Patrick
I don't know?. There are no apple stores in my city. I'm sure some adapters are avaliable, but is not something users carry with them all the time.

I live in Texas. I know what Mexican hot chocolate is.
Pff, what does Texas know of Mexico?

Micro USB just as USB type C was getting standardized ready to be adopted. I'd put wireless charging in my android phone if I had to use that stupid format too.

Yes but we already went through the whole thing with @Eriol about how we don't always post "informative" stuff just for one person.
Did you ever consider you might be a supertaster?
--Patrick
Champurrado or hot chocolate with some cinnamon/chile that people think is "Mexican hot chocolate"? Because if you ask my mother-in-law to make Mexican hot chocolate you're getting champurrado.
Coming in late to this debate, but: Bubble tea is heinous and nasty - the tapioca is derived straight from Satan's smegma.
Bring it on, bhamv.

You don't like bubble tea?
Leave your gun and badge on the desk and get out of my office.

I'd see it as going the other way - "we're ensuring the safety of our patrons - all coming here can drink, free of any worry of some errant stranger."
Boom. Profits forever. Quark is pleased.[DOUBLEPOST=1462556100,1462556070][/DOUBLEPOST]
