People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
That's when you stick a hot rock into your soup bowl. Those are cold foods served on cold rocks.

maybe the rocks are meant to just soak up heat and keep your food hot?

Rock thing seems insane but I have had stuff in China that was just an inedible object covered in a sauce you sucked off. Like chicken spines with chili oil on them. There's nothing to actually eat.

Our society has been infiltrated by a race of alien amphibians who are used to consuming the egg sacs of their rivals as a display of virility.

Boba Tea is probably more popular with 30-40 year olds, it seems like it got popular in the later 00s to early 10s

Yeah bubble tea might seem to have exploded in popularity recently in the West but. looking into it it's apparently been a thing since at least the mid 80s in Taiwan and a bunch of East Asian territories

My local mall here on the west coast US has had a shop for at least the last decade and a half

I think you're thinking of Orbitz, the soda fruit drink with balls in it made by the Clearly Canadian people.

Bawls is just an energy drink with little raised bumps on the blue bottle for gamers to grip

I actually just picked up a six pack of their ginger ale, it's really good lmao

I posted an article about that earlier.

It's mainly about :effort:. The most ironic part of the trend is that since raw vegetables are one of the easier things to just throw in a bag without any preparation, they're finding health benefits from that.

That looks like barf. I puked that up the last time I barfed and I only eat the salt and mayo in that.
