Boba Milk Tea at Jack in the Box?!
Boba Milk Tea is now being served at select Jack in the Box locations!
Is it a sign of cultural acceptance and integration? Or does it concern you that as traditional dishes become more widely available via fast food chains, the uniqueness and authenticity will get a little lost?
I’m curious if we can have a civil discussion about this because I’d love to hear your thoughts and feelings! Would it be better if they called it Taiwanese Milk Tea like how we call Thai Tea, Thai Tea? Or does everyone already know the origin of boba, therefore deeming it redundant. 🤔
As far as the taste, I give it a 7/10! The flavor of the milk tea was not bad at all, and surprisingly the texture of the boba was nice and chewy, contrary to what I’ve heard! Some pearls were really sweet while others weren’t, so there was a lack of consistency there. This is probably very similar to the microwaveable packets you can get from the store.
