Google is celebrating Bubble Tea day today with a special interactive doodle game.

New Delhi: Google is celebrating Bubble Tea today, January 29, 2023 with a special doodle having an interactive game. Users can create their own bubble tea which is also known as boba tea and pearl milk tea. The Bubble tea became popular globally during covid-19 peak in 2020 and it was officially announced as a new emoji on this day in 2020.

“Tangy and fruity or sweet and milky? The combinations are endless! Today’s interactive game Doodle celebrates bubble tea, also known as boba tea and pearl milk tea. Honeydew, matcha, raspberry, mocha – no matter the flavor, don’t forget to mix in some bubbly balls made with fruit jelly or tapioca,” Google wrote in the blog.

"This Taiwanese drink started as a local treat and has exploded in popularity over the last few decades. Bubble tea has its roots in traditional Taiwanese tea culture which dates back as early as  the 17th century. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the bubble tea as we know today was invented. As waves of Taiwanese immigrants over the past few decades brought this drink overseas, innovation on the original bubble tea continues. Shops around the world are still experimenting with new flavors, additions, and mixtures. Traditional tearooms across Asia have also joined in on the boba craze, and the trend has reached countries like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and more!," Google added in the blog.
