bubble tea fad - health + environmental hazard

i really hate this bubble tea craze we are seeing now. 

not only an over-priced junk, it's also detrimental to the environment. 

here's how much junk from one section of the street in ss15, subang jaya, where 9 (at last count) bubble tea shops have popped up like mushrooms after rain.

use once, discard it, then take 100 years to decompose.

to make matters worse, many of these vendors do not allow you to use your own cup/tumbler. reason being?

branding purpose. so that others could see you are trendy and drinking their current hipster over-priced sugary crap.

and this crap has as much sugar as soft drink.

health hazard + environmental hazard all in one neat package.
