Shelby? dont ever taste a Bubble Tea then! Your waistline will thank you.

It should be good to note in the eGullet index that as of June, 2007 a bottle of Orbitz was fetching $25.00 on eBay.

Yeah, but you're in the Philadelphia area. ← Exactly, but the majority of the country (sans metropolitan areas) have never heard of Bubble Tea. Hell, I once asked for a Perrier at a small cafe in the Philly Burb of Malvern, Pa and the "Chef" behind the counter asked, "Whats that? a salad?"

Andisenji? I agree. I think where there is smoke (in this case LOTS of smoke) there is fire. I know a few people in my sons special needs groups that have had seizures because of Aspartame and my former MIL used to get blinding migraines because of Aspartame. I do not think its safe.

Pan? Theres a big country between NYC and LA

MizDucky? Would ya drink this one: http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2...say-oh-hell-no/

Those tapioca balls are filling cause they they are about 600 calories a drink on top of the 500 in the tea. They make Konnyaku boba pearls that have virtually no calories. Orbitz Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbitz_(soft_drink)

I just went to H-Mart in Upper Darby, Pa and bought 3 assorted flavors of Jelly Papa jelly drinks. These are a 4 oz plastic cup with very very soft carageenan or agar jelly and finely minced nata de coco with a straw. Im addicted to them. Its fun to drink the jelly and chew the sweet nata de coco. I dont understand why these types of things havent made it big in America. That beverage Orbitz with the chewable balls never caught on, but that was over 13 years ago, we have Bubble Tea now, but even that isnt widely known. Why do YOU think drinks with texturizers or a slippery feeling havent caught on in the USA the way they have elsewhere?

The plant Im buying is 30" tall, its a given Ill get tea. The woman told me they are great houseplants in sunny windows and she gets tea all year

My son enjoyed the Froot Loops Straws. I took a sip, but it had no flavor so I think hes gonna eat em like cookies

Why would it be more perishable? If regular chocolate BLOOMS its still good to eat and isnt spoiled... And I guess thats why my Chocolate Angel Food Cake didnt rise as high as plain, I added Valrhona.

Valrhona is silky and sumptuous! I always joke that Im gettin' a Kilo from South America. Has anyone had the Hersheys Spa Chocolate Bath Products? http://www.hersheypa.com/shop/spa/index.asp

No and I havent in 14 years... I find it odd that autism, CFS, ADD/ADHD etc have all risen exponentially since 1980 when it was introduced.

BTW anyone who wants a source for Konnyaku Jelly Mix: http://www.veryasia.com/fisojepo.html (Choose Strawberry) Also these ARE Konnyaku Jellies (in spite of the labeling as Seaweed extract!) http://i9.tinypic.com/6d0hetf.jpg and they are delicious and if anyone finds the purple yam ones let me know.

Okay Ill buy 3 things from H&D, Peaches, Pears and Nectarines... Ill buy the Pears at the H&D store. HHmm, Maybe Ill buy the pears at the store and JUST peaches from the catalog. Is it hot enough for you Sheena?

I really want some GOOD peaches. I am thinking of buying some Harry and David Oregold Peaches. My Dad used to give 12 month H&D subscriptions as xmas gifts. But I havent had any H&D fruit in years... Is it still perfect? I noticed that even the "donut peaches" in stores, suck now. I think they gas them too.

Lets grow our own tea! Camellia Sinensis is the Tea Plant http://coffeetea.about.com/od/preparation/a/growingtea.htm (its actually a Zone 7a not a Zone 8) Im going to buy one and keep it in my front bay window and make my own.

If you open the sand sack, clean it out and look inside there is porn inside. God has a sense of humor. Tell me what you think the boney shell looks like. I got this from Julia Child by the way...

It does... I just looked on the ingredients of WHOPPERS, and there is Baking Soda in them. Here is a cross section of a Maltezer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MaltesersOpen.jpg

http://www.nestleusa.com/PubOurBrands/Bran...87-10893D174FC2 Why not just use the stuff above?

http://www.countertopdishwasher.com/caroce..._dishwasher.htm Whatever you do, do not buy the one above. It is useless and the thing wont stay attached to the faucet and while you are in the bathtub, your kitchen will be flooding!

http://www.kilian-nakamura.com/blog-englis...isu-beer-jelly/ Is it gelatin, Konjac, or Agar?

I throw out anything thats sat out accidentally. I immediately put stuff in the fridge, and nowadays Im washing my produce more. I toss out cold cuts and pizza after 3 days. I disinfect EVERYTHING. I rarely eat out, cause I worked at a hole in the wall seafood place and I know how things get in the kitchens and I quit over bad hygiene. Ive never had food poisoning. Ive had a tummy flu though due to my son bringing it home from school. I say, "Just put it in the fridge or you will be praying at the porcelain altar, cursing yourself for NOT doing it"

It just looks less then opaque to me and thats what makes it revolting to me, Like its been spoiled prior to boiling.
