What if “boba” is code for bugs?
Boba is disgusting
I like coconut water that bits of coconut in it. I do not like boba tea.
Texture preferences and dislikes are really weird differences between ASD peeps.
“The texture not the taste”
i hate boba. i HATE IT! I HATE IT!!
What in even he’ll is that thing?!?!?
real ones poor the bubbles out and drink just the liquid
Man that’s like saying I only eat egg whites
Me but it’s spicy drinks. Fuck you gimme spice and a drink and also the fake spice sucks give me peppers or good sauce.
Hot take: Boba tea is soup…
I was gonna say, what if you think of it as a stew
soups make me angry sometimes, what am i supposed to do? swallow? chew? there’s so little to chew, and yet i can’t just swallow? >:|
same goes for yogurt, brain senses thickness, tells me to chew, but there is nothing to chew??? >:|
and with boba tea, one chew is enough to pop the balls, but one chew doesn’t pop all of them, so 90% of my mouth is liquid and yet i can’t swallow until everything is popped >:|
basically the only half drink - half foods i respect are stews, because those have enough food to chew normally, and the soup part is basically like a lot of sauce
… how did my parents miss my neurodivergence i have no idea
What do you feel about using mouthwash? (Like the kind that doesn’t hurt and doesn’t have a bad flavor.) You keep it in your mouth without chewing and without swallowing
yeah but i go wshnshwshwshwsh with the liquid back and forth in my mouth so it’s fine
the part that my brain apparently has a problem with is - if for swallowing and not watery -> must chew. so when it’s mostly watery but not exactly i get both “chew” and “just drink it” signals which is >:|
Goopy chewy drinks bad
Crunchy chewy drinks good
For a second, I couldn’t think of anything crunchy and then I thought about the Oreos blizzard And I was like you’re goddamn right, but to be fair I don’t mind Boba either
youre lucky I value your opinion too much to downvote it because CRUNCHY DRINK???!?
The tapioca…I weirdly like it. Except I choke on it. I love the tea itself. I don’t love choking on it, but I forget the tapioca is in there half the time.

the choking is the best part
You can always get the drinks without boba in it if you like
I loooooooooooove chewy drinks 🥰
We go to boba tea shops several times a week. I just order them without boba. It’s just a smooth tasty drink.
Not sure if being autistic matters in this instance. My wife will not eat grits due to texture but I do enjoy some buttery grits.
You don’t have to be autistic to have a sensory preference, but autism is known to be associated with sensory sensitivity
A good fruity drink with chunks of fruit to chew is awesome! I also like to kinda chew on the ice in a slushie, not like rough ice chunks but compacted slush.
Boba tea doesn’t gross me out, but the balls don’t appeal to me either. Just extra stuff that adds nothing fun.
“textured drinks”
hang on lemme get some dirt real quick I wanna test something
Not autistic but yeah I hate them. If they weren’t so sticky it’d be better…
