I’ve been drinking boba for 10 or so years now, always suspecting it wasn’t good for me, but loving it too much to stop.  Recently, I found a few different sites which give the calorie content in milk tea boba. Lollicup’s 16 fl. oz boba is 440 calories. Oh no!!!!

Its Honey Green Tea (16 fl. oz) without boba is 181.6 calories:

Boba balls are reputed to have 7 -15 calories each!  Typically there are 20-30 or so balls per drink.  Adding milk is a no-no too:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16540633/

Finally, be wary of high fructose corn syrup:

Drink your boba responsibly folks! ===ooo=oo==oo (That’s boba in a straw.)

P.E. for Adults, entry #2:  Table Tennis in the SGV

Ever feel like a game of badminton or table tennis at 4am?  Well, there’s a place for you. It’s the San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club on Telstar in El Monte.  Open 24 hours a day, with bad-ass looking coaches, this center is for both serious and recreational players.  For non-members, it costs $7 for all-day play (you can leave and come back); however if you want to reserve a court, it costs $20 an hour per group.  The place is open 24 hours a day for members and for non-members closes at midnight (opens 9 am). 

I’ve been here twice and have almost thrown my shoulder out both times.  My friends had fun though.  AND there is also access to ping pong tables, which is included in the $7 entry fee, or just pay $5 for ping pong.  So if you’re really jonesing for some pong action, you can drive yourself over here. They have vending machines too.
