Sis, there are 30-40 different brands of bread in the aisle!! They all serve the same purpose, but people will still buy their favorite!! Keep doing what you’re doing 😉🥰
Boba was what it was called originally, but it was referring only to the balls, the term boba, later became slang for boobs. The bubble name came from what you must do before consuming the drink (shake it). By calling it bubble tea you have a much wider category of the drink (it could be fruit tea, creamy tea, or just pearl less tea) Boba tea though refers only to the one with the specific type of pearls in it. There for meaning the most accurate and broad name for it will obviously be bubble tea 🧋
Just because it's not an "original idea" means that it's not original to you. You put your talent into it and nobody can replicate anything exactly. I love the soap!! Keep doing a great job!!
Definitely agree with this , tho back in High school my teacher always told us " humans existed for so long every combination of stuff even the most random ones have been done or at least thought of by someone " . that was like his quote which he mentioned a few times and everytime it would just kill the motivation for the class to work xD he sure is just a very realistic guy . he wouldn't give you any hope if there is none to have . he would just speak on things exactly the way they are personally while he also offended my homework and many others calling it un original garbage I still liked him a lot as a teacher he gave a different feeling and so he was my favorite xD also I never care to be original if it gives me a good grade that's more then enough . while the girls in my class absolutely hated him and the entier class even planned to skip his classes multiple times . I git dragged by the other guys as well . tho one time I sneaked away and was like " yeh teacher everyone left cuz they don't like you " xD and yes I'll say it now I didn't have any friends after that LMAO but choosing good grades over friends was the right choice .
If you go to the store, there's fifty different brands of bread. But it's all loaves of bread. If they can all make money doing the exact same thing. We should be able to create our own versions of things with no problem. And honestly, to know that someone else has already done similar afterwards is just confirmation for me that it's a good idea. I just make my own version of it.
@@starietiger9927 I think you'll be fine as long as u just don't claim urself as the first creator of something that already exist. As for originality it's still original if u customize it or have some idea yourself
Before the famous range came into my country, it was called bubble tea. But then they came and everybody called it boba tea. But I’ll stick to bubble tea. A way to thanks those few local drink shops that used to sell them
@@_.-._.-. bubble or the pearls had been around since early 2000. Those popping pearl was just came out recently. I don’t think the shop that brought the bubble tea into our country from where it was invented would simply call it whatever. I’m sorry if you come from the inventor country. My mistake then
@@rosieposiepuddingandpie yup. Since my early 20’s I’ve been introduced to it as bubble tea. That was decade or more ago. Stores want to create new name to commercialize them I guess
@@nisaame in the US on west coast they say boba more and in the East the say bubble tea. In Taiwan where the drink originated if they refer to it in English they call it Bubble Tea and in Mandarin they call it Boba. So it can be either and people just get mad for no reason.
Taiwanese here. Bubble Tea/Pearl Tea are the better English translations in my opinion. Boba was just one store owner that called it this way and it became trendy over time, he got the idea from an Hong Kong actress Amy Yip, she was famous for her large breast in the 80s-90s, so he named his bubble tea Boba, which means “large breasts” in Taiwan. It’s like The Big Mac really is just beef hamburger, but McDonald want to give their beef hamburger a name. You can call it bubble tea or Boba tea either way we understand it.
@@beandle4428reminds me of how in my elementary school we renamed gaga ball to bubble ball cuz a lot of the kids i went to school with were filipino and they didn’t wanna say a bad word xD
My mom is Taiwanese. “Boba” is Taiwanese slang for “large breasts”. There are different sizes of tapioca pearls, so the larger pearls are referred to as “boba,” while the smaller ones are referred to as “zhen zhu” (aka the literal translation of pearl).
From my understanding, it’s more that “boba” means huge spheres/balls, so people referred to large breasts as boba. And large tapioca balls are called boba for its original meaning.
It really doesn't matter if someone else has done it before you, you came up with this idea on your own, and you should be proud of yourself because this soap looks beautiful. I especially love the clear ice cubes.
When I was around 7-8 I had this super cool idea and a bunch of ocs that I was planning to write comics and make cartoons and even dolls about. It was about the teen girl versions of a bunch of different monsters and stuff, and it was very much playing into my early and generally kidified interest in alternative fashion. Anyway, Monster High became a big thing less than a year later. I was so mad because "this was LITERALLY MY IDEA!! :C" Little me felt so robbed. On the boba/bubble tea question, though, I call the black tapioca pearls drink boba tea and the fruity popping drinks bubble tea. I know it isn't "correct," but that's how I was taught to call the two so that's how I tend to say it.
When i was a kid, like age 9, was obsessed with nature documentaries and decided to design my own realistic animal to fit a niche in nature. Spent a good bit designing it to root around for roots and bugs and I called it the ground pig. Mom pulled out the encyclopedia and showed me that i just invented the ardvark. Later in highschool i invented a flying weasel with fore and back limbs as bat like wings... not long later during a doctor's visit a national geographic mag in the waiting room had an article of a dino/bird fossil recently discovered with the same fore and hind leg feathered wings... darn it....
When I was a kid, I enjoyed writing short stories and sometimes they would be like 50 pages long. I once wrote a very long story im about 7th grade. A few days later, I picked up The Hunger Games and realized my plot of the story I wrote was so similar even though I never read or seen the hungry games
I also had something similar happen in 7th grade. I made a "rap" and thought I was so cool. Then I turned on the radio and heard Lil Scrappy basically rap my verse slower in Head Bussa. I also wrote a piece of a song called Ordinary Thing but it's basically Temporary Thing by Zhanè. The melody is even very close. I gave up on writing after that 🤣
Wow that's beautiful! I've watched this several times and it's still just as beautiful as if I'm first seeing it. I would LOVE this soap. I promise I've never seen bubble tea soap look anything like this!
I tend to call it pearl tea as being from Taiwan (where 手搖杯 originates), I can’t bring myself to call it boba when it’s slang for a busty woman. In Taiwan, pearl tea is typically called 手搖杯 or 珍珠奶茶, translating to “hand shaken drink” and “pearl milk tea” respectively. Bubble tea refers to the way the pearls look in tea and the small bubbles formed when shaken, boba tea stands for the shape of the pearls, and the name pearl tea comes from the round shape as well. All are correct!
In my country, boba is a stupid woman. Bobo is stupid man, although its more common to refer bobo to both men and women. So most of us just call it bubble tea or milk tea 😁
I am not Taiwanese, but when I was in middle school I had a best friend who was and referred to bubble tea as pearl tea whenever we got some. I think it’s a nice name for it and have called it that ever since then! ☺️
When I made my art insta account i tried to think of a name and I thought like "oh, sam does arts is a good name, cus my name is sam" but I thought it sounded so familiar, keep in mind I had been watching sam does arts earlier that day...
reading your comment made me try and come up with a username that starts with " Sam " ( thinking just for fun ) and the first username in my head was Sam-onella. ( like salmonella) yeh .... I don't think I succeeded here xD
The way i as an artist perceive that kinda stuff is “wow me and this other person are equally and amazingly creative!” And I’d take it as a compliment cuz it helps reinforce that my ideas are actually good and there’s no rule saying I can’t make my own version of that idea. Art is about expression and no matter what, someone will relate to it cuz it all comes from our human experience :3
Bro one time I came up with song lyrics and the next day I heard a song that had basically the same lyrics 💀 I was so confused and felt do dumb, because I'd never heard that song before lmaoo anyways I scrapped those lyrics
So boba tea is the chewy tapioca pearls, but popping tea or popping boba has a juice in side of thin skin but there both delicious.( tapioca pearls or the chewy kind is my favorite)😊 Edit : omg thx for the likes I’ve never had this many 😱
Just because it has been done before doesn’t mean it was executed in the best way! You can always still come out on top even if it wasn’t the most original idea
Instead of individual balls, you could long cylinders for the embedded boba instead. It would be much more time efficient and the cross section will mostly be the same. Same for the ice cut into long blocks too.
Back then, when I grow up I want to create a knife sleeve / cover for the sharp end and I also want to create edible water balls that has a thin layer outside of it n water inside but then a couple months later it exists and is trending lol
@@_.-._.-. Not necessarily true! You can think of it that way, but that's not what the actual difference is. It's quite literally called "popping boba." Boba is still in there. They're just different ways to say the same thing. Boba comes from the Chinese word for breasts, resembling the spherical shape of the tapioca pearls.
I'm an in-house graphic designer for a bubble tea shop and this has me so cheesed 😁 I think your execution of the taro milk tea concept is original and am interested in seeing how you could make other tea-inspired soaps.
I relate TREMENDOUSLY!! I for ONCE had a great costume idea this Halloween and decided to show up as Kim Possible for my schools Halloween party, and lo and behold, like 20 girls show up as THE SAME THING!! There was a costume contest too and the only thing that made me stand out was the fact that my sister was her best friend, but we didn’t win the contest, my cousins friend did as she was a clown.
@@royalshyler4268 If you are introducing a sentence or talking about a certain location, the correct word is there. If you are describing a noun that is owned by someone, the correct word is their, which is the third-person possessive form of they. (Copy and paste, but let's face it, that is too long to type out! I hope this helps you in the future!!)
i used to tell my little brother stories about a man called the "bye bye man", and i used to say how he would come into people's houses at night and kidnap children from their homes. this was when i was like 8 and he was 5. a few years later i was talking to a friend about it and how it used to freak him out when all the sudden she's like "oh you know that's an actual movie right?" i was flabbergasted. honestly i still can't get over it.
OH! That makes sense!! I got bubble tea once at a burger shop near me and was confused as to why I had fruit juice filled pearls instead of tapioca ones
It's actually the same. Boba tea originates from Taiwan, and the term Boba comes from an 80's Hong Kong sex symbol whose nickname was Boba, which literally means big breasts
They refer to the same thing! Boba, pearls, and bubbles are all referencing either the way bubbles form in the drink or the shape of the tapioca balls. As another commenter noted, boba is slang for a large chest, hence the nickname for the round pearls.
When I say it with “tea” I use “bubble tea” but “boba” I use on it’s own. I use both bubble tea and boba interchangeably, though, sometimes even in one sentence: “Oh! I see bubble tea! Let’s get some boba!”
i kid you not, i thought up the book idea for the matrix, told it to my parents, and they go "oh you mean like the matrix?" and i go "what?" and they explained to me that my genius book idea had already been done as a trillion dollar movie. i was so mad.
Worked at a korean run boba place for a while and boba are the tapioca pearls that get added to the drink. The drinks themselves are usually just listed as the teas and then you can add whatever you want. I don't think in my time working there I ever called it bubble tea but I know that's the general name for the drinks of a shop that just serves tea with boba.
I grew up saying bubble tea and I still say it in front of family but I say boba tea in front of my friends because that's what I heard them call it. I believe we will never know the right way to say it.
There is a right way. Boba and bubbles are two different things, so Boba tea and bubble tea are not the same thing. Boba is tapioca, bubbles are the ones that pop and have juice inside
I had an original idea for a fan fiction story I wrote once and someone accused me of stealing their work. Like bruh, I just write fan fiction I don’t read many to know yours even exist. Good thing ideas can’t be copyrighted lol
I like how we can see how you make the soap and then cut it up in one short so we can see the soap finished. To many shorts never let you see the end product. And your Bubble soap looks amazing
Yep. I once had a very nice dream which was also very strangely vivid, about a girl who gets a letter from a different world one day and she finds out that she belonged to that other world, and that she would have to go to a different school to learn to live in that world as the world was full of magic and supernatural things..... I didn't realise at that time why it sounded so familiar but I decided to write it into a story. Then one day I was telling my idea to my best friend and it was then that I realised why this idea sounded so familiar. It was Harry Potter. Only with a female character......
@@bittercharmer1591 I know. I'm actually doing that. I still love that idea but I'm just trying to make it very very different from HP and more into a story of my own
You could do so man different flavors and make it your own twist! So many things have “ been done “ before but it wasn’t done by you!! Keep going girl😊 these are so cute
Oh my this video hit so close to me. I had a novel idea down to the characters name and the title of my book, and guess what, the next day i found a book with the same title and the same character name with almost the same premises 😭 i swear i live in simulation bcs my idea wasnt even a common novel book like romance or YA 😭
That’s what happened to 7 yo me when I thought I invented muffin tops. I was very upset to see it on a cooking show a few weeks later and just wouldn’t accept it. 😂
I feel you. when i was a kid i used to make and play with paper dolls. I had accidentally made four when trying to do the angels with the hands stuck togethor, but failed. So i just decided to draw them in. Years later i found out that it was a way of playing dolls during Laura Wilder’s time (1867-1957). If you don’t know who she is, she is a girl who turned her life in to a novel for everyone to read. In one of her books it mentions that they had paper dolls. I feel so original. I think the version i made though was infact original, cause i doubt Laura was making ballarinas and giants 😂
I like to write here and there. One time I had an idea for a character who worked for inter- dimensional corporation that regulates time lines and how times flows. Then Loki came out… it was obviously in production way before I had the idea, but I found it funny that I was thinking about a character like that and then show comes out with a very similar premise.
Well...the car had already been "made" however this has never stopped MANY other companies from creating THEIR OWN. This is your soap, you make it yours by your own twists/ creations...so I say, keep making it as long as the time doesnt warrant it being in your regular line up. As for "an original idea" ...there are very few things out there today that someone else has not already created, that doesnt matter...there will be customers who only buy from you, so, it doesnt matter if 50 other soap artisans are making bubble tea soap, they dont shop from those people so to them, yours is the ONLY one they are interested in. I think this is spectacular.
You should make a pudding inspired soap bar! 🍮🍮And I feel that the fluffy soap at the bottom and be the yellow part of a pudding and the clear soap can be the top drizzle looking part of the pudding!!!
This literally happens all the time, sometimes exactly enough to be creepy. I remember one time when I was younger. I was writing a story, and I named my main characters Serenity and Valor. I'd rarely heard the word valor at all, and used it as a name because it was novel to me. Literally just a few weeks later, a new show starts airing, called *Valor.* I'm sure there have been better, more insane examples, but that's the one I can honestly recall right now!
There’s so many people on earth now that if you can come up with an idea, it’s pretty well guaranteed someone’s already done it. But do it anyway absolutely
Soapmaker here that has a bubble tea soap. 😂 It's easier to fill boba tea straws with the melt and pour and make canes. Then you can place them as you need throughout the bottom of soap so they don't all clump to the bottom, and they stay uniform in size. ❤
Yours is cool because it’s you. You genuinely thought of this type of idea. Someone else genuinely thought of their idea. Do they look identical? Probably. Life goes on. Good job 👏🏽
