I wanted to see what this entailed, looked up "shiba bubble tea" and found a bubble tea/restaurant pretty close to me that is Shiba Inu themed and looks like something you'd find in Japan.
I'm gonna go check this place the fuck out.

TIL. I’ve literally never seen the first drink you’re describing. (I’m in the USA)
Early on when it was coming into the US shops made the distinction, but Americans just sort of conflated the two. Makes it confusing if you want bubble tea with jelly and not pearls.

This has bugged me for twenty years.
“Bubble tea” refers to tea that is mixed in a shaker, creating a small layer of bubbles when it is served.
“Bubble tea with pearls” is the one with tapioca pearls in the bottom. Milk tea is tea made with milk.
@[email protected] the above comment answers your question.

I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wire racks or wax paper like you see today. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They'd wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.
Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn't split from condensation or something before you got home.
that's actually super cool, that's a neat piece of history I didn't know about

It's like the first time in any restaurant or food place where you're not familiar with the food:
Ask the server what they recommend.
Then say okay

America doesn't even have pizza! They use the word to refer to some kind of large open-faced oven-baked sandwiches.
You talking bout the little scissors?

Lol.
forget Italians, Hawaiians want no part in this travesty

The "bubbles" refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.
The name started as "bo ba", the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into "bubble". No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.
It's often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)

The original chinese name before i was introduced to the english name is 珍珠奶茶(zhen zhu nai cha), literally translated as pearl milk tea. That's around mid 2000s. Not sure which come first though, bubble or boba.

Ive never built up the courage to try even a single bubble tea, partly because its stupid expensive, but mostly because im worried about saying the wrong thing and having people think im strange. Like if you asked for extra sugar on your hot dog or something.
Finding that there's mad purists arguing about what is or isnt doesnt make this any easier.
Just pick any flavor you like and ask for it Animal Style.

Is that the Piper Perri film?

It's basically a premium milkshake and/or slushie coffee/tea. The two questions you should ask are what kind of fruit do you want and how much caffeine should come with it.

Tapioca is super fun to shoot at your friends and coworkers.

Hence it does not belong on tube steak
You leave my tube taco topping choices alone. I'll put cooked roots, processed milk, egg-oil, and whatever else if I like

Isn't ketchup pretty much just red sugar gel?
Catsup is a pretty wide ranging condiment. You should look up 18th century cooking videos about catsup

And the word ketchup/catsup comes from the Malay word kecap. Which is fermented fish sauce or soy sauce.

Italians can suck my short toe. They didn't even come up with the pizza, it was italian heritage immigrants. Same thing for people who complain about deep dish pizza (which is really just a weird lasagna/casserole) not being pizza.
Italians should be more like the Japanese and embrace change and just appropriate those fusion dishes and pretend like they invented it. Like if the Japanese were like Italians salmon sushi would have never become a Japanese dish. Before Norwegian salmon farmers came to Japan to convince Japanese chefs to sell raw salmon in the 80’s, salmon sushi didn’t exist since wild salmon often contains parasites. If the Japanese were like Italians they would have scoffed at the idea to sell and eat salmon sushi.

Its quite mid to bad fruity milk tea with pudding at the bottom
There's a savory crepe place I stopped going to like 80 cents would get you a fully loaded crepe, but it only came with bobba, and I didnt have the language skills to ask for no tea.

The classic bubble tea is just Taiwanese style milk tea with sugar and tapioca
DO NOT ORDER THE CHEESE TEA

Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn't split from condensation or something before you got home.
Another more practical reason (besides free bags for use around the house) is that produce is often wet from the misters and refrigerated items condensate once you go outside (especially in the south). Double bagging helps prevent the bags from tearing if/when they get wet. Also, for people buying lots of canned goods, single bags can rip if they’re overloaded. Cashiers and baggers will still double bag plastic bags when they are filling it with a lot of heavy items.
Another reuse for brown paper grocery bags was DIY textbook covers.
