Someone posted something about bubble tea in the Chinese Food thread, and it reminded me of something I've meant to ask: Is it okay for a man in his late 30s to buy and drink this stuff? I'm addicted, and in warmer months I hit Chinatown 1-3 times a week on my way home to get some. However the only people I ever see drinking/eating it are kids - teens and tweens. Not even people in their early 20s. Plus the shop I like to buy it at is staffed by cute little girls with cock-eyed pink baseball caps, making me feel like Michael Jackson casing out Chuck E. Cheese. This is a totally serious question.
For those who don't know, Bubble Tea is iced tea in various flavors, sometimes with milk, to which they add a bunch of marble-sized tapioca balls. You drink it through a fat straw and chew on the little balls. Okay, that came out wrong, but you get my drift. It's an acquired taste (or rather texture) for some, but I love it. Black Bubble Milk Tea is my favorite way to cap off a Sunday morning dim sum binge.
