Your work situation (6 Viewers)

Whenever someone new starts in our place it's announced on slack, and usually the person says something about themselves. Today's new person says they're a big fan of bubble tea, and tells us about their favourite flavour

I mean like, holy shit, the most interesting thing you can think to say about yourself is you like bubble tea? How fucking boring is that? Or hmmm maybe it's that Yank thing where everyone is super-cagey in work and never reveals anything of their real selves in case they get fired

There's a place in Mullingar that sells this and is primarily a sushi restaurant. Everything you order comes on separate plastic trays with plastic lids. Sauces are in plastic containers. Cutlery is plastic. It all goes in the bin.

I was in Atlanta once, and with every drink you ordered in the bar I was in they gave you a plastic glass of water. Also they kept all the urinals filled with ice cubes

Yeah, wouldn't really recommend it

Bubble tea was a fad with teenage girls last year

 

[MacDara]

I like bubble tea. Feck the lotta yehs.

Chatime in Blanch does a nice brown sugar one but it’s certainly a sugar rush.

It's all just sugarwater whatever the latest branding mission implies. Soft drinks -> sugarwater, fake healthy drinks in plastic bottles -> sugarwater, notiony coffees -> sugarwater, bubble tea -> sugarwater.

With that in mind, all i can see is how shitty the packaging is, so i just drink stuff from aluminum tins because they've a very high recyclability.

Ranked: the environmental impact of five different soft drink containers
