Bubble Tea Generation

Tealive

There's a Tealive located in the Petronas station in my neighbourhood. Because it's just a stone's throw from the school entrance makes it an extremely strategic location. Secondary school students swarm the place after the last bell. While waiting for their school bus or their parents to pick them up, they get a cup of bubble tea. Very different when compared with my past. Never would have spent MYR6.90 (assuming the cheapest option) on a drink! Didn't have that spending power. And of course back then, there wasn't such a thing as bubble tea. Wouldn't even contemplate going to the mamak for a drink. By default, it was the school canteen. Back then, splurging was getting keropok lekor AND ais krim ikat. LOL.  Bubble tea will be what Little Monster and Big Monster will reminisce about in the future.

I feel the same way. Bubble Tea is expensive! People here complain about the cost of Starbucks, but I think bubble tea is worse! Bubble tea not very common in the US. You have to go where there is a large Asian population to find it.

I drink bubble tea quite often because it would brighten up mood swings.
That TeaLive often had Buy 2 Get Free 1 promos. Do the maths.
