The Boba Guys result is a real kick in the nuts. Using a shitty paperish straw for the environment but the core product being so high in these tests.

The "paper" straw, that's still coated in plastic and becomes unusably soggy long before the product is consumed.

i mean you're lucky if it's just coated in plastic, most are PFAS.

20x variation in their measurements of "Black Tea Pearls" (and 8x or so in the tea juice). Would have liked to see more reflection on that.

(I feel like I'm still seeing plastic straws for boba everywhere in San Jose; but I'm far from a frequent consumer)

Plastic straws are natural predators. Removing them from the food chain will simply cause overpopulation in turtles.
