McBoba

I missed this exciting news when it came out last summer: McDonald's in Germany and Thailand are now serving boba, and it's being branded as the "McBubble." Personally, I think the "McBoba" has a better ring to it, but what do I know? I've just been the world's foremost expert on boba since 2007 -- which, as my two loyal readers know, is the year I started this blog.

I wonder if McDonald's in the United States will ever do this. I can't say I'm dying to try what I assume is a bastardized version of my favorite non-alcoholic beverage. But it would give boba some nice mainstream attention.

By the way, Google tried to correct my search of "McBubble" to "McDouble." No, fool, I meant McBubble. But that rhyme has the potential to make a great rap song, no? Or a fun jingle for McDonald's at the very least.

Thanks to a co-worker for tipping me off to this story. Co-worker shall remain nameless, lest I embarrass them by linking their name to my boba rants.
