      Check Mr. McDuck out over here! Will you be paying using the towel from your most recent swim?

          Maybe for your location, sure. But I just did a quick search and if I wanted to get some today, the cheapest option is $13 for 1.75oz (before tax) and the nearest location has no guarantee that it will even be in the store. I’m not saying that I don’t believe you, just that for most people it probably isn’t nearly as cheap/plentiful as you make it sound

    Question; are those tapioca spheres or are they bubbles from a bubble tea? Actually is this just standard boba? Or are these ones… pearls from the bottom of a pearl milk tea drink?

    I really need to know specifically which.

      I used to buy tubs of the bubbles. Theyre udually just fruit juice that was piped into… Something im too lazy to search.

      Tapioca pearls are also, confusingly, called bubbles. These are usually called popping bubbles

        sometimes it’s agar agar into cold oil.

        some claim better results using sodium algenate and calcium chloride.
