"bubble" tea

So the bubbles in bubble tea aren't made out of air, I'm not sure where that sits on the official definition of "bubble." Thanks, Ed.

Quite appropriate actually: The "bubbles" in "bubble" tea are tapioca pearls. It's nummy.

On the other hand, I don't want to know what that other thing is if it's not really "chocolate."

Maybe they're plastic bubbles.

I'm with scyllacat on both points. Especially because that is one hellacious-looking "chocolate"... item.

scyllacat beat us to the punch - the quotations on "bubble" are appropriate since they are made of tapioca pearls and not air. Also, in my personal opinion they are disgusting. I'd prefer the air bubbles.
