      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.

        Could be popping boba [edit: in my area they call the popping boba just boba and the traditional boba jelly, I did not realize that wasn’t universal]

            Maybe he uses carbonated water?

            Serbia appears to have normal bubble tea places.

              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.

                    somebody blows bubbles into the tea with a pipette, that is the serbian way.

                      Just order online so then you don't have to interact with anyone at all except getting it from counter.

                        tbh the worst someone will think is you're a dumb American, which there are a lot of. They won't single you out or care at all.

                        Even if they do, it'll just be a gossip sesh with coworkers to pass the time and nothing more

                        at least that's how it is at my grocery store job. The only things I can remember are

                        • an Irish man with a funny accent
                        • someone who wanted double bagged paper for some reason
                        • and some lady who stole a baby bottle and when the toddler picked it up and yelled "MOMMY YOU FOROGOT THIS!! 😃" nobody said a word about
                        • also someone who tried to hide an antibiotic under dog food which I accidentally uncovered when scanning the dog food. When it rung up it was $25 and I felt sooo bad

                          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.

                                Personally not a fan (don't like the taste of teas), but many I know are. Order a basic one the first time however it says on the board, ask for a suggestion saying you never tried this before, ask any other questions you have they will generally answer, like "What do other people do with/put in this" you will either love it or feel you wasted money. Either way it will be a new experience. Oh, don't worry about what others think of your choices (so long as you are not hurting anyone that is) you do you and enjoy, purists will just bring you down

                                  Not OP, but maybe they're alluding to the fact that tomatoes were exclusively native to the Americas, so pizza in Italy never even had tomatoes before 500 years ago. A quick Google search shows that the first modern pizzas came from Naples about 300 years ago. So no, not American, but not possible without moving tomatoes from the Americas.

                                  Italian immigrants brought pizza to America and it caught on.

                                      I meant the kind one sees in many countries, with tapioca pearls, and often milk. Rose petal tea is apparently one of the local variations.

                                        Well the good news is that a Korean corn dog stand will happily add extra sugar and not find the request strange. I guess the lesson is you just have to find where you fit in lol.

                                        The second good news is that food vendors are typically quite happy when you know nothing because they typically like to share new experiences with people.

                                          This has bugged me for twenty years.

                                          “Bubble tea with pearls” is the one with tapioca pearls in the bottom. Milk tea is tea made with milk.
