Google is Celebrating Bubble Tea with Interactive Doodle Art

Google has selected January 29 to celebrate bubble tea, as on this day in 2020, it was announced that the iconic drink would be given its own emoji.

A cute and interactive doodle created by Google today honors the growing global popularity of bubble tea. A non-alcoholic, non-carbonated cold tea beverage, bubble tea is also referred to as boba tea and pearl milk tea. The tapioca pearls in the drink, which resemble bubbles, have a jelly-like appearance, which gives the beverage its name. During the Covid-19 epidemic, the beverage became quite popular, especially with Gen-Z and millennials.

In honor of bubble tea, Google has chosen January 29. On this day in 2020, it was revealed that the well-known beverage will have its own emoji.

Google has created a fun, interactive doodle that lets internet users make their own milk tea concoctions and manage their own shops in honor of the milky and sour beverage. Users only need to click the doodle to start an animation playing on the screen. Netizens may play as Formosan Mountain Dog in the interactive doodle as they run a bubble tea business in the middle of a wet forest. Users merely need to fill the cup with each ingredient like in the game to make tea, which is simple.

Before the shop closes for the day, players must complete five orders, each of which is harder than the one before it. The consumers line up their straws and satisfyingly poke through the cover after finishing each drink.

The interactive doodle for today contains Taiwan's native Formosan Mountain Dog as well as a cast of well-known Doodle characters, according to the doodle page. "Satisfy your craving and prepare a tasty cup of bubble tea in today's interactive Doodle," it says. The Official Page: 

Google said on its Doodle page about the history of the beverage, "Over the last several decades, the popularity of this Taiwanese beverage has soared from its humble beginnings as a local delight. The ancient tea culture of Taiwan, which dates back to the 17th century, is where the origins of bubble tea may be found. However, bubble tea as we know it now didn't exist until the 1980s."

It went on to say, "Innovation on the original bubble tea has continued over the past few decades as waves of Taiwanese immigrants have exported this beverage internationally. In stores all around the world, new combinations, additions, and flavors are continuously being tested. The boba craze has spread to nations like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and more, and traditional tearooms all around Asia have joined in!"
