Opinions on bubble tea (Boba)

I had my first (and definitely last) taste of boba while in California this week. For those not familiar, it is tea, infused with milk that is served cold. So far, so good. And this portion of the drink I actually liked.

Now for the bad part. There are slimy tapioca balls at the bottom of the cup. (In this case, they were chocolate tapioca balls).You use a really wide straw, and these nasty things end up in your mouth. The entire time, I thought a) I do not have a cold....and b) I'm about to barf.

Finally, I could take no more of this calamity.....and vowed never to drink this again.
Does anyone out there like this?
