Lollicup, lollicup, oh lolli lolli cup

First, let me start of by saying how TIRED I am. I woke up at 7:45, came home at 2:30, ate, and now I have work in an hour from 5-10. FML.


So anyway...I love boba. I think most of us do. It's just yummy and the place that I trust and go to the most is Lollicup in Walnut across from Mt. Sac. Well, there's more than one boba place there, so I figured that it wouldn't hurt to switch things up a bit. All boba places taste the same right?...Wrong.

The place across from Lollicup is called "Upper House" and as mentioned before, I figured it'd be alright. As I was walking to Upper House, I noticed the health grade they received on their door. This is B grade place. IMMEDIATE turn off. But I thought...maybe they recieved that grade based on how ugly their place is and not on how good their boba tastes so I said who cares? I want boba. I walked into the strange smelling, ugly shade of pink place and ordered a taro milk tea with boba, something I get often at Lollicup and LOVE. I expected Upper House to have the same quality taro milk tea as lollicup...it's situations like these that have made me realize to never, ever have high expectations in life.

I received my taro milk tea, which is supposed to be lavendar colored, as most people would know taro is a purple fruit. This drink was beige?? Light beige. It looked like white milk with half a tea bag dipped in it. My mood went from anxious to angry in like 3 seconds. As I received my drink, I said in my head "WTH is this?" and I was scared to take the first sip, but with a prayer, I did. Eckkk....first of all, not only did it taste NOTHING like taro, the boba was like jelly, boba is better harder, and this drink was sooo sweet. I felt sick after the 4th sip. I was so mad. I had already wasted $5 on junk food at mt. sac that I didn't even end up finishing, and now I had just wasted another $3 on bad boba that doesn't even taste like it should.


Point blank, DON'T GO TO UPPER HOUSE. It's not just the fact that they are a B grade place that should make you not want to go, it's the atmosphere of the place and most importantly, their yucky boba drinks. I'm telling you...listen to me. There's a reason they got a B...and I think that was generous. Lollicup is a place you can trust and it's guaranteed to be good. And it smells fine.

Wow what a lame day. Bad weather, $2 on cookies I thought would be good, but were gross, $1.50 on water I haven't even opened yet and probably won't finish, $1 on hot cheetos that I thought I could finish, but didn't and $3 on Boba. LAME!!!!!!!!!!! What a waste of money and food and I feel fatter than ever with the amount of junk I consumed today. This is horrible. Early New Year's Resolution: Make better food choices!!





Upper House...more like Lower House to me!
