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.
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.
On its Doodle page, Google explained the history of the drink, saying, “This Taiwanese drink started as a local delight and has surged in popularity over the last few decades. Traditional Taiwanese tea culture, which dates back to the 17th century, is where the origins of bubble tea may be found.
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 flavours are still 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!”
