## The story

Tapioca Tornado was the first bubble tea most kids ever tried, served from a little mall kiosk with a sealing machine that went chunk. The wide straw had to be stabbed through the plastic top. Then the pearls shot up into your mouth, chewy and surprising. Half the mall loved it, the other half was very confused.

## Fun fact

Kids who sucked too hard sometimes launched a pearl across the food court, which counted as a personal record.
