Bubble tea quiz

[Flamsterette_X]

Just found this interesting bubble tea quiz… thought you all might like to try it.

What flavor of bubble tea are you?

This is what I got:

your flavor is oO Honeydew Oo

Congratulations, you sweetheart. You enjoy wild popularity because of your sweetness and your caring nature. Selfless and sensitive, you care deeply about others and you worry sometimes about what others think about you. But people everywhere love you, so that’s okay.

And I thought I’d already seen the most bizarre web quizzes…

Oh, well–
your flavor is Natural
Congratulations, you slacker. You’re laid-back, relaxed and, well, natural. Sensible and down-to-earth, you let very few things bother you.

Suits me well enough. I still can’t make myself drink bubble tea, though.

What the fuck is bubble tea?!

[Balance]

It’s tea…with things in it.

Flammie can explain better than I–she introduced me to the concept a while back.

Taro.

"Congratulations, you wacko. You’re just a little bit eccentric… okay, that’s an understatement. You’re weird, and some people might even venture to call you completely wack. But you’re an original, totally unique, and great at parties. "

And what js_africanus said…what is Bubble Tea? And what does Taro taste like?

It’s a cold beverage, with “bubbles” of tapioca. The beverage is some pastel color or other, depending on the flavor; the small balls of tapioca are usually (always?) purple. This stuff is served in a tall glass with a really big straw; big enough to accomodate a tapioca “bubble”.

Thanks Hazel. Sounds interesting, I’ll have to try some.

Orange Skinner, try this thread for more information.

Oh, and here’s something from my blog that I wrote quite some time ago about BBT.

I’d just like to say that STRAWBERRY BUBBLE TEA happens to be a great starter flavor if you’ve not tried the stuff before. If the place you’re at does strawberry badly, you should be wondering about how good the other flavors are. And no… the black tapioca pearls don’t taste like white tapioca in tapioca pudding. They’re not heavily influenced by the flavor of bubble tea, either… unless you lick the pearls before chewing and swallowing them. Mmm, strawberry bubble tea.

There are many other flavors of bubble tea, as well: it would strain my memory to recall every single one of them, but I’ll give you some: green apple / mint / mint chocolate / mocha / Horlicks / Ovaltine / mango / grape / wheat germ / pineapple / blueberry / cookies and cream / pudding / guava / green tea / peach / honeydew / watermelon / coffee… and they all should taste reasonably good. (heck, maybe even coconut / taro / other flavors I don’t personally like would taste good to other people… I don’t know)

That should give you a bit more insight.

Thanks for the link, Flamsterette_X. I hope I can find a place around here, I’d love to try it.

No problem, I’m on the fast computer here at my brother’s.

I deny everthing :eek:

Hmmm. Sounds kinda gross. But if dopers vouch for it, maybe I’ll look for some.

Mmmmm, bubble tea. (The quiz says I’m oO Honeydew Oo. The quiz is wrong. I’m clearly durian.)

Orange Skinner, taro is a root (actually, it’s a corm) that is brown and hairy on the outside and vaguely purplish on the inside. It tastes very similar to yucca root, i.e. kind of sweet potatoish, but not really. It also has the feature of being mildly poisonous until it’s cooked.

[acrossthesea]

Strangely, I live in Japan and don’t think I’ve seen this kind of tea. They MUST have it here. I’m going to have to go out and look for it now!

Slight hijack…Tapioca Dextrin, how did you get those symbols in your signature?

[alice_in_wonderland]

I looove bubble tea - mango is my fav. I could drink vats of the stuff.

According to the quiz I’m honeydew. I can live with that.

[Ephemera]

I’m natural. Fitting.

I also want to try this stuff. It can’t be any worse than the Malaysian water chestnut drink (advertised as having “real chunks of water chestnut!”) that I had about a month ago.

[VenusGirlTrap]

I’ve had it and I like it. Unfortunatly, the closest place to me is 30+ miles away.
