I found a drink at an Indian grocery store that reminded me of Orbitz. Had the pomegranate flavor. Interesting it was made in Thailand.

Is that the basil seed drink?

I had one but it was a nasty flavor. Pomegranate sounds much better

>> No.6144863

Yeah. They had honey, rose, and one other one I can't remember.

They're seeds in the op, possibly dragon fruit seeds.

Yeah, I got that. Orbitz wasn't, though, it was little flavorless balls of some sort of gel.

>>6145679

Not even the same thing as what, Orbitz or the seed-based drink in OP?

>>6145816
What benighted hellhole do you live in that does not have bubble tea??

Google it, brah. It's basically Orbitz but with a different beverage and larger balls.

I live in a small city/large town (50kish population) in the American south with a church on every corner. It's pretty fucking benighted.

>it's like orbitz except that it's not at all orbitz
So, let me get this straight... your definition of 'it's like Orbitz' is that it's a liquid with any bits of solid things in it. Well shit, orange juice, aloe drink and grape grass jelly have been Orbitz all along! Who'd have known!!
You fucking moron.

I live in the midwest. Some asian people opened a juice bar in the mall and they had bubble tea. Nothing special unless you enjoy giant flavorless tapioca balls in your juice.

Used to get something like that from a Viet market. Called it frog egg drink and used it to gross out classmates in high school.
It was really just lotus seeds and had a bubblegum/banana-ish taste

I feels yore pain, brah. I lived in a similar place but with even less population (and I was in a rural hamlet a few miles from that) for about two years.

Nothing but meth-addled hillbillies and religious loons.

In fairness, you can get them flavored. They were probably just cheap.

It's cute, it's sort of fun in a way. No different from chocolate easter bunnies or gummi bears or fruit-rollup edible panties. But you're free to live on soylent paste if you want.
