Have you ever had a bubble drink? Do you even know what a bubble drink is? No? Well my friend, that is why I'm here, to tell you about the wonderful drink that's going to rock the nation! OK, so the nation doesn't know that yet, but just wait. Bubble drinks are the best thing since mullets and I'm not 100% sure, but I think there are some very addictive narcotics swimming around in them somewhere! You can go to tropical cafe if you live near me and get one of these pieces of heaven. If you don't live near me, then I'm sorry to tease you like this. Maybe you should come visit me. Anyway, you can choose from like 100 different kinds of fruit and vegetables, yes vegetables. You could get a strawberry kiwi or a red bean passion fruit. Whatever turns your crank. It's made with fresh fruit but the kicker is that they put little tapioca balls in them. I know what you're thinking. Tapioca?? Well this is not grandma's tapioca, this is the best little gummy ball you've ever tasted. Don't ask me why they put tapioca in a fruit drink. I have no idea, but I have to thank them for being random like that, cause it's freakin awesome. You suck the balls up with this huge straw about the circumference of a penny and you can swish them in your mouth before chewing them, or, my personal favorite, you can put them in your straw and spit them at unsuspecting bystanders. I went yesterday with my friends Brandon, Melissa and Katherine and we were sitting there enjoying these heavenly delights when Brandon held his straw at me like he was going to spit a ball at me. It was his first time at this bubble drink cafe, so I knew that he couldn't possibly know the ole' bubble in the straw trick that veterans like me had created. I called his bluff and said in a very Clint Eastwood sort of way, "You don't have anything in that there straw, you're full of it." ok well maybe not exactly like Clint. Well, as soon as I said that, POW!! I got to meet a ball up close and personal as it popped me on the side of my face, bounced off and then rolled on the couch. Wow, I got schooled! The master was defeated by her apprentice. I hung my head in shame, just long enough to find the ball on the couch and eat it. Then I got him back. I must have sent that ball going 2 miles an hour back at him. He was shocked with my speed and accuracy. I had clearly won that little face off. Another thing about bubble drinks, is that you can't just have one. I remember when they first opened, that Katherine Nolen and I went to get bubble drinks at least 3 times a week for like a year. They know us by name and have our pictures in the "customer of the year" frames. Ok not really. These drinks are so addictive, you will find yourself chanting in your sleep, "Strawberry peach, must have tapiocaaaaaaaaa!" Every time my mom comes to visit, she has to have a fix to soothe her withdrawals. These things are like the nectar of Mount Olympus. They will take your taste buds to a crazy new world, but be careful, once you go bubble, you can't go back! |
