Taste Like Nothing

It’s hot in the Florida sun, especially at the beach.

So, I was interested in ordering a cup of Thai bubble tea with Boba.

I ask the lady:

What does it taste like?

Lady answers:

The boba [taste] is like nothing!

I ask:

Can you put in a lot of boba?

She says:

Tea sweet, but no more boba.

I ask:

Why?

She tells me:

Because it’s nothing.

I try again:

But if it’s nothing, why can’t you put in some more?

She says:

It’s tapioca, but it taste like nothing and I can only put in a handful.

My final try:

Ok, give me some Thai tea with the boba in it.

Lady:

Are you sure? It tastes like nothing.

Me:

Yes, yes, yes. I love boba with nothing taste, just make sure the tea is plenty sweet!

Like my dear dad used to say:

The food here is terrible, and on top of it the portions are too small! ;-)
