Bubble Tea

Bubble Tea, also known as Boba Tea, is a drink made of tea, syrup, milk, and tapioca pearls.  This combination can include different flavors of tea and pearl, and not all of them include milk.

The drink is usually served cold, and the lid is often sealed so that the customer can shake the drink to mix up the flavors.  An oversized straw is punched into the cup to allow for the delicious "pearls" to get through.

Bubble Tea was created in Taiwan in the 1980s and spread to the US in the 1990s. 

Google created a game to play to celebrate Bubble Tea.  You can play it here:

This fun fact comes from 3rd grader Joey Wandel :)

A frog uses its eyes to help swallow.

By pulling its eyeballs into the roof of its mouth, a frog can help push the food down its throat. 

Thanks for the fun fact, Joey!
