Who Would Drink This?

This looks completely disgusting:

Boba, also known as black pearls or tapioca balls, is derived from the starch of the cassava root. When cooked perfectly, the Boba becomes a sweet, chewy ball with a jelly-like texture about 6mm in diameter. At first glance, you see a layer of dark, round balls at the bottom of your cup. As you sip your drink, these “mysterious marbles” travel up the specially wide straw. The texture, taste and chewy sensation makes you want more!

Sure it does. Sounds like glorified poo to me. You can read more and even see these “mysterious marbles” in various drinks here.

Boba is actually good. If you like jello, you’d probably like boba. The gay marriage post was kind of interesting. The thing is marriage in America is and always has been granted, defined, managed, etc. by the government. Since gay people deserve the same government granted rights as straight people they really deserve to be allowed to marry. Maybe straight people should be allowed to have special “religious unions” to signify that their union is more than civil. Do you have any gay friends? Have you ever tried Boba? I don’t mean to attack you personally. I just have had many encounters with conservatives who dislike things because they don’t understand them.

I like Jello, but that Boba stuff looked like poo in a glass. I don’t know that I would enjoy jello bits mixed in with my coffee or smoothie, but I suppose some people must enjoy it. I saw a truck go by and got curious, which is why I looked at the site and blogged it.

Yes, I do have gay friends. Two of my best friends in the world are gay men. I would be supportive of gay marriage were it to be done legistatively, but I have a big issue with mayors breaking the law and the courts reinterpreting the constitution and state constitutions.
