Oh, the pearl tapioca...mmmmmmmmm, delicious.

[Comrade J]

What the fuck is that?

Also, there was a thread some years ago that finally concluded that Nazis and fascists drink tea (in all its forms) - coffee is the drink of the left.

But I hate coffee and love tea...

That's because you're a massive reactionary.

The drinks in the OP look pretty good. I have a smoothie maker so I should try making stuff like that myself more often.

Bubble Tea is a drink....ah fuck, man, I don't even know what's in it, but it's goooooooood. Sometimes, though, you can just get a fruit smoothie and it's just as good. The secret ingredient is the tapioca pearls, those little black spheres on the bottom of the cups. They're soooooooo good and chewey, man there's gotta be someone here that knows what I'm talking about....

Bubble tea is what happens when someone thinks "fuck this, I only want to eat tapioca today"

I'm not shitting you Jazz, but about 6-7 months ago I came across an article by a woman who knew Hitler and she said that he always drank tea, and it reminded me of that debate.

I will see if I can find it, cause I think it's important that people realise that tea is a reactionary drink. Scientists have even examined tea at the quantum level and seen fascist particle behaviour.

Ok, well I couldn't find that exact memoir I was talking about, but here is a paragraph from 'Hitler' by Ian Kershaw, which is the definitive book on the man.



His birthday with the Russians at the gates of Berlin was an embarrassment to him. He trudged down the assembled line of his staff to receive their murmured birthday greetings with a limp handshake and a vacant expression. Afterwards, Hitler drank tea in his study with Eva Braun. It was approaching nine o'clock in the morning before he finally went to bed, only to be disturbed almost immediately by General Burgdorf with the news of a Soviet breakthrough and advance towards Cottbus, some 60 miles southeast of Berlin.

I also direct you to National Archives (HS 6/624) - Operation Foxley (Hitler's Drinking Habits), and really I swear I am not making this up, as they were researching into possible ways to kill him which could include poisoning, so they needed to see how certain poisons would react in different drinks. I quote:


Hitler, according to reliable information, is a tea addict. He always drinks it with milk. Since the milk is poured first into the cup, it is unlikely that the tea's opalescence would be noticed if it came from the teapot.

Hitler is said to be extremely fond of apple juice.

The reports that he drinks enormous quantities of black coffee, which have appeared in the popular press from time to time, are denied by P/W who was body-servant to Hitler from 1936-1940.

Yeah I have a lot of free time today. But at least once and for all we know how reactionary tea is and people can stop making threads celebrating it. :p

Bubble tea is great! I usually make it less fruity, tea and boba and berries and coconut milk, maybe a little rice syrup. I like the Hong Kong version using tea and coffee, too.

Bubble Tea rules, but IMHO usually it's better if you get the jellies or mixed fruit at the bottom, not the tapioca pearls.
I think Watermelon is my favorite flavor, as of lately. I like mixing them sometimes though (peach/mango!)

yeah, peach and mango sounds good. IDK about the jellies though. A friend of mine told me they were no good. I've never tried them tho.
