Teabag Dome Scandal posted:Costco sells a kit I tried one of these once but it made so much boba I couldn't use it all and it started to congeal together so I'll just live my life without it. Like sushi, it's not worth the hassle of making it at home.

You can also buy Thai tea blends and half and half and make gallons of the stuff for cheap. Honestly I don't get why some company doesn't sell canned Thai tea in the grocery store (I assume they do at Asian grocers but I'd think it's popular enough to be in Krogers or something)

Honestly I don't get why some company doesn't sell canned Thai tea in the grocery store (I assume they do at Asian grocers but I'd think it's popular enough to be in Krogers or something) You can straight up get like five brands of premade boba tea even in the middle of nowhere, it's not at supermarkets because actually buying things and then selling them for more would cut into the lucrative and PR-friendly ("oh, we don't make hardly anything directly off this transaction!") business of just charging Coke shelf rent.

Antonymous posted:in taiwan I got boba for about $1.50 and if you account for PPP that's maybe $3.00 Taiwanese food is second to none. You can get a very large meal of dumplings, pot stickers, buns, etc. for a couple of bucks. It's all super tasty, fresh, and healthy too. Just remembering this is making me want to move to Taiwan since they've managed to (somehow) figure out all the problems that make America such a shithole.

usually when the line is around the block if you park and go in you get your food almost immediately idk if there's a rule that dine-in orders get served ASAP but it's always such a power trip to see the car that was in the back of the line when you pulled up is now 3rd from the back in a line of 40 cars while you're already stuffing yourself with disgusting processed food and getting the 3 minute long endorphin high early because you just loving walked through a door and ordered. it gives me untold smug pleasure every time and as an american I thrive on that it makes me feel okay that the entire system is broken if I can outsmart some other dope getting to the slop bin first
