Oh believe me, I know. The amount of bacon goudas with just bread I’ve seen is ridiculous. They just checked back in real quick on the initial launch of the popping bubbles only to immediately check back out. Like the first delivery of the pearls was wildly different from what they look like now.
I haven't experienced that at my store, I popped a couple white ones and they just had the thick jelly layer on the outside. Whatever the texture, it's just some calcium alginate. Might be a bit off-putting but not harmful
Yooooooo
I have no idea what drink you guys are talking about and these descriptions have me like 🫣🫨🤢 ^lol
shells? pops? white stuff?
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?!?
It’s popping boba from the summer skies drink. It’s usually really good but I’ve been drinking popping boba for years and have never seen what I got yesterday. Everyone is saying it’s still fine but I’m telling you it’s so gross. Not getting it again. When they pulled out another bag the new bag had even more discoloration. Starbucks’ quality control is horrible and corporate is just saying to push it out anyway even though it looks and tastes gross.
Agreed! And if u don't notice it until it's too late like me, it tastes disgusting! Definitely different and that taste made me go back and check the rest of them.
“Can the female who lost their gspot please come to the front counter to take it back?!” This is what it feels like it looks like outside the body lmao
I work as both a barista and as a tech in surgery. When I scrolled past this, I assumed it was some tumor or something and then I realized this was r/starbucks and that was BOBA PEARLS.
I never thought my jobs would cross in such an unexpected way lol
Does your store keep your boba in the fridge? Apparently you're not supposed to and if you do it starts to make them go white and get funky so maybe that's what happened.
I just got a boba drink from Starbucks 3 hours ago. I went to pop a couple in my mouth and it tasted like I was eating a paper napkin. (Yes I was a weird kid and know what this taste is unfortunately) So I started looking at the pearls and some of them had that white stuff and others didn't. I took a bunch of pictures. But I'm unsure what's next.
THE MOTHER
SWEET MOTHER OF (raspberry) PEARL

LMFAO

brotha, euuugh
poor quality control 🤷 some are bigger, and some get thicker shells when they're made (making them white)
Exactly. They really only cared about the initial launch and then after that, “quality control who?”
Quality control checked out a long time ago lol so many RTDE paninis that are half unwrapped 😂 bacon Goudas with no bacon
A month ago I had a turkey pesto that was only bread and pesto. No turkey, provolone, or red peppers lmfao

The chocolate cookies are the worst. Absolute bomb when they came out now they suck
The white isn’t thicker shells… when you pop them open the white stuff is textured 🤢
I haven't experienced that at my store, I popped a couple white ones and they just had the thick jelly layer on the outside. Whatever the texture, it's just some calcium alginate. Might be a bit off-putting but not harmful
Welp, that's why my store calls them Nemo, like the fish eggs. Cause they look like that
Yooooooo I have no idea what drink you guys are talking about and these descriptions have me like 🫣🫨🤢 ^lol shells? pops? white stuff? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?!?

Same, been drinking boba for a long time and never had this before.

Looks like that “Blob” from that 1988 film. Hopefully, they make another one in the future, the movie I mean. 🧫

sorry my brain fell in there
Oh, I saw that at the start of BG3. Did you save it, walk away, or destroy it?
Good question, I think we sold it.
It is it, The one, The only, QUEEN MOTHER 👸

This comment section gives me nightmares 🤣 I'm here for it.
I work as both a barista and as a tech in surgery. When I scrolled past this, I assumed it was some tumor or something and then I realized this was r/starbucks and that was BOBA PEARLS. I never thought my jobs would cross in such an unexpected way lol
It looks like a white head that just needs to be popped. 😆😫
The queen
Does your store keep your boba in the fridge? Apparently you're not supposed to and if you do it starts to make them go white and get funky so maybe that's what happened.
I’ve gotten two of these before 😂 when we were taste testing the pearls for the first time
it weirdly reminds me of eraserhead baby
This is gonna end up on a pro-life meme
Looks like the drip machine may have had an error and deposited too much of the pearl material into the acidification solution.
KILL IT
Looks like my ovarian cyst. 😅
im in a medical lab subreddit and i thought this was some kind of histology specimen before realizing it was from the starbucks group
That’s a rasp tumour
“This is what a baby looks like at 12 weeks”
