Those buying bubble tea @ SS15...saw some people line up for more than 1 hour paying RM13.50 for a cup filled with brown sugar and starch..

Seriously? This drink only cost RM3 to produce and the owner is profiting the shit out of it yet people are lining up to get themselves a good dose of diabetes type 2 and high amount of trans fat.

It's like these people have so much time, money and health to spare.


Edited : Not 1 hour queuing.... 3 HOURS as per https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4771670/+60

Well, they are young. So health is there. FAMA to sponsor them. So money is covered. And again, young.. time is on their side.

So, hope that answers it

Not worth to spend your time to think about this....

not true.

biar betik.....queue 1 hour? The hype still so strong?

how long is the queue until 1 hour need to be served?

and.... why u butthurt?

SS15 is a clusterfuck thanks to these stores...

chill la dude.

enjoy Boba tea while watching this video.

Bobba Life!

Q 1hr for a drink ?

Damn ... something must be wrong with me.

wahlau leh.....how long liddis oledi? 6 months? 1 year? Owner oledi recover the cost lor, now laughing all the way to bank jor

All trying to show off to amoi. After drink back to her place.

-Queue 1 hour to get boba
-Post on insta, kuda attensi sikit

if so easy can get amoi.. i wouldnt mind buying few for her..

Ayam scared diabetes don’t dare to drink all these. Only mineral water or watermelon juice.

Then ask me sister why buy all these. She said for insta -,- seriously.. buy it to flex?

Some people spend on bubble tea and are regarded as stupid

Some people spend on headphones, handphone, PC games, and other electronic gadgets, and are regarded as stupid

Who's to say who is stupider?

At least bubble tea only costs Rm15 compared to multi hundred dollar high tech gadgets

Why you got problem with people's personal preference? Their money and time.

Last time I used to queue up for Snowflake at Kota Damansara when it first launched and it was worth at that time. But now the price is scarily high, have to reduce already.

Of course high tech more costly. But it’s “there” which can be useful.

Bubble tea once you drink it “that’s it”. Regulated to urine and flush away.

lol that KD store closed down 5 years ago

Using an item also incurs cost. There's depreciation and maintenance - in other words, you pay e.g. Rm1000 upfront and then slowly use it over a period. This is a "hidden cost" that is not often noticeable

Take the following example:

Ktard A spends Rm3,190 on a phone that he will use for the next 2 years

Ktard B spends Rm1,000 on a phone that he will use for the next 2 years, and Rm15 on bubble tea every week

Normally on /k you will see ktards deride Ktard B for "wasting money every week", and envy Ktard A for buying "godphone"

But in reality Ktard B ultimately spends less than Ktard A

This is what I notice: people tend to glorify buying godcar, godphone, other godgadgets including headphones, laptops, Hifi stereo, etc

These things are rich man's toys; they are hugely expensive for the little benefit obtained, no real different from poorfag buying bubble tea to drink

And they barely use the super expensive functions which they pay so much money for, so in reality the "benefit in use" is even less

Yup, it died when the trend died. Probably the same fate for bubble tea.

Why are you sakit bontot?

Their money and their time, biar la..

Nowadays is just viralkan, said from Taiwan mana apa cha. Then all Tom dick hairy pigi.

bikos they don habe ielts cert

u already mentioned it, they are young... no drink now, drink when u are 40-50yo with all sort of health issues?

Buy one free one. You get free diabetes when you drink bubble tea. And the owner enjoice since the profit margin is high.

You gotta work hard to get those insta like

They dont bother me so yeah, drink boba all you want

Why u whine so much abt people lifestyle.. their money their health. It’s not like people dont do stupid when they’re young.

Janji ada gaya
Can post in insta and kuda 🐴

YOLO

siapa buka tered dia.......

When these kids grow up n become daddy n mummy.. they also will complain in /k about what youngster at current time do..

woi bodoh

what TS meant to say is why ppl spent money for something that is harmful for their health

and you keep on yapping about handphones and so on

u sure are retarded

so if u're smart, then u should have already taken advantage of that stupidity

TS if u think the actual cost is rm3....i have bad news for u

Added : remember last time i mentioned my fren was being asked to set up chatime as pioneer but he rejected? yup..the cost.. LOL

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4770928

what kind of dumbass comparison is that?

same la like pc gamers.
dev create a problem and SELL u the solution.
sohem gamer complain,when they them self wan to BUY thier drug.
the only ok for microtransition is on a Free to play game
fak dev and stupid gamer

they kind spewed out by "tea enthusiast" that doesn't know a cup of teh O' only cost 10 cents to make. Add sugar + gelatine + milk magically makes it worth RM20

No ts, it's not something new. This tactics already there for ages, even before your grandfather time. People willing to pay for their WANT if the name and price is right.

Why people rokok

Why people overeat

Why people overspend

I don't know who is more retarded, people who say these things and think they are smarter than others, or the people who actually believe and protek them

Simply a fairly trite observation that different people have different vices, you and me included

What is so dumbass about that?

I think what is really dumbass is people who do not understand or practice this common sense themselves, and then have the temerity to call others "batshit stupid" as if they are somehow superior

Or maybe what is really extremely dumbass is people who think that these hypocrites are really smart for looking down on others

coz YOLO n kuda, basically the general mentality of youngsters nowadays

Chill la TS, wait another few years when they reach 30s.

They will be like TS comment those sugar drink drinker "Ewww" "Potong Kaki"

Why TS no sound those old unkers chugging cigars one box a day? Selective bashing

Those cigars cost close to rm20 a box and can give cancer lulz

Ok la. Rather them drink this potong kaki drink than drink liquor and langgar here langgar there after.

It's okay. We want to beat Murica in obesity rate! That's a sign we're a developed country.

No need to look far.

Ayam went swimming and saw bunch of young kids learn swimming. Out of 10, 7 is obese.

Its about hype, everyone wanna show everyone they q to buy sugar water on FB

Why are you so worried about things you have no control over ?

Somehow I think outdoor activities and sports are no longer being paid attention by young people these days.

kuda

IG

amoi

Op jelly he unkerliao n many responsibility n ño longer can be as carefree as those Yung ppl. Kesian.

Haiya who ask u use branded shiet... learn from papa Loob - tipu seribu daya guna caina supplier - win, then habis habis kena court case also still win becoz sudah kaya and chatime know they will ggwp in a environment dominated by bubble tea cheapshits who control majority market.

Inb4, I drink cheap tealive bubble tea still dgn syarat <RM5 - but the only thing I get is a ruined diet and regret a few hours later - every - time. Yet I dunno why I order it at RM5 topkek.. At least being a cheapshit prevents interest for those scams beyond that price.

Not true.

Many young chap doesn't exercise, give them blood test LDL sure fail one

youngster dont care that much as long as sedap and syok sendiri

Money dedikasi

The residents there must be raging day and night due to the heavy traffic.

well, some people think those who pay to join running/cycling events are stupid

some people think playing games at home is stupid as well

so, whatever floats your boat. jangan jadi gay menyusahkan orang sudah.

we need them to push our economy on. Don't la call them stupid.

Just because TS is health conscious and more sensitively to own time management does not mean TS should be means on those that choose not to. In the end it is the freedom of the world. Learn to accept individualism

Stupid TS. U think drink bubble tea will get diabetes? U drink those teh tarik at mamak will have a higher chance to get diabetes dipshit.

Besides owner of bubble tea shop profit , u jelly?

Instead of opening stupid threads, y dont u go open a bubble tea shop?

influencer ma...

because stupid tealive have failed the people

i prefer grass jelly with milk and brown sugar.

they do

you blow?

walk past them and laff at their stupidity

kautim

RM3? More like cents only la

To each their own. If people don't consume, you say economy no good.

Biarlah drug addict just wanna get their fix.

they r lucky brat, free, got money, nothing to do...that y can q for long.
inb4 ecomoni manyak vagus

Then don't complaint when govt impose sugar tax. Need to prepare our hospitals for more future diabetic patients.

Is this shop local company? Not Taiwan or China? If its local then whats wrong with such business? Its not like those Cha Time need to outflow money due to licensing. All USa fast food brand also outflow money. Yet no one complains. Just this 1 shop that probably would max out a few branches if the hype is still not dead.

Diabetes or not, most of you guys are the PETA of health. Talk like saint, yet still using leather goods and all those non environmentally friendly shit.

youths in 2 sentences:

1) Complain wedding expensive, blame elders for upholding ancient customs .
2) go and queue 1 hour on expensive shit drink.

If being pioneer also high cost, imagine now when the popularity is high

no stupid bukan young people.

We need stupid batshit pipul. Otherwise some pipul business won't survive. Kecian those hip cafe owner want to feed family of 5, have to rely on batshit bodo.

unker rase tua ehhhhh

jelly lihat mereka carefree

I didn't, as a matter of fact

maybe we should open one too

Are u sure u havent done something similar? Paying for an expensive meal that u can prolly cook yourself(if u tried)?

LeL ts

You may not, but there is overwhelming voice of protest against it. Same as smoking ban.

Many people don't realise how bad our situation is, fattest in SEA, unhealthy lifestyle here and there, overcrowded hospitals draining our resources that could be spent on development.

Unhealthy lifestyle? 😂 and yet here u are in unhealthy k. Owai

The power of social media and wannabe hype + kiasu

Syukur 'bodo' ppl Keep economy floating.

Frankly it's the curry rice. Huge amounts of oil and carbs

And I don't know about draining budget; do we have real financial data of how much our healthcare costs the Govt annually?

its like some other young ppl waste time posting in kopitiam

Human thing are actually very interesting.
They behavior group life settings. They will always follow people to do their things, they will felt behind if they missed out anything.
Eg trends like salted egg, Endgame, get rich MLM and queing up to buy bubble tea.

LOL BURNED

Maybe they make their time useful at /k when queing up to buy those bubble teas.
Fair enough?

Then time are not wasted right?

xp ROAST TOAST!

hmm, maybe peer pressure, or wanted to be included in the social context...so pay the price.
if everyone reason like that, then pasar kopitiam RM1 kopi will huat =)

Indeed. If everyone are smart, then no one will simply buy. In development country like SEA, we need them to boost the economics.
Everyone are independent thinking person then who will be the rats?

can open cafe 1st floor there?

In one end students no money to buy food until have to ikat perut, in one end can waste money buy boba

Actually Ipoh white coffee is one of the serious branding there. They brand it right, but not so lifestyle/hip as bubble tea.
