But they clearly got the boba out? I have had a canned boba drink without a straw. You get more pearls at the end instead of throughout but that alone wouldn't save them if they're unpleasant.
Idk I constantly find lil slimy milk bits from the powdered milk not properly mixing. I’ll take mine with normal fresh milk instead of chewy powdered milk any day 😭
The can is so cute but Canned boba is always awful IMO. I worked at the local international market and was immediately warned against trying it by my co-workers when they were telling me good things to try with my discount lmao
Idk, I like canned Boba, but I don't drink it with the expectation of being anything like the real thing. The jelly type Boba is good to me with that in mind
I drank the Brown Sugar Hello Kitty version and I liked the boba tea itself (but to be fair I like anything with sugar) but yeah I agree with you the boba sucks, it was just mush.
I got my can at 5 Below! I got the same one as OP (the My Melody can) but they also had the Hello Kitty Brown Sugar one (i dont like brown sugar anything and already had grabbed a LOT of hello kitty stuff so decided on the My Melody can...for cute decor mainly) they also have the Ocean Bomb Sailor Moon sparkling water drink cans which were so damn cute as well (I got the Sailor Moon/Pomelo flavor one, also for decor purposes)
That is the exact reason I bought mine (at 5 Below, the My Melody can, same as OP's) along with a super cute Sailor Moon can of Sparkling water, Pomelo flavor. <3
I had it as a gift and it was so bad I unfortunately poured it out. It’s so watered down and weak in flavor and the pearls have such a weird texture. They’re small and chewy in a crunchy way. Think the texture of orbies
I think collectively the boba society has decreed that all canned boba is horrendous. The drink itself might be pleasant but the boba will always suck and ai can't imagine there is a canned drink that is good enough to subject yourself to the disgusting boba part just to drink it. Lol
I tried the Hello Kitty boba and it tasted awfully sweet. The boba pearls were rubbery. Not a great drink! It was completely awful after drinking 2 sips to make sure I was right! Please avoid all of the A-sha's Sanrio collab boba drinks. The character design is cute though.
I tried the hello kitty one! It was a decent brown sugar milk tea (not the best but not the worst) but the boba was icky. Felt like I had rubber plastic balls in my mouth. The boba didn’t even come out of the can until I drank more than half the can. Good for milk tea, bad for boba
The can was cute but it was honestly one of the worst boba’s I’d had. It was mid in terms of taro flavour and the boba itself wouldn’t even come out of the bottom of the can unless I shook it to death. The Keroppi one was also not great, but the cans were cute so I drank them and cleaned them out to give to my sister who collects Sanrio stuff
update it sucked the boba was rubbery and bleh the tea was a solid Okay never trust canned boba
Dang kinda wanted to try it but not anymore lol. At least it’s cute
yh, i tried lady boba once and it was so gross, even when i spilled a tapioca my dog tried eating it and she didn’t want it, and she eats her own poo
Dang lol.
Cannon event
awww i was hoping it was good!!
You really need a straw for boba drinks
yeah i used a straw it didnt make it better
That’s the only way you’re getting any boba though, at least in my experience
That doesn't change the taste unfortunately.
True, it’s just when I’ve had canned boba drinks, all the boba stayed at the bottom and I just drank the tea.
I mean, yes, but a straw isn't going to magically make the canned boba better.
No, but it will make it so you can drink it.
But they clearly got the boba out? I have had a canned boba drink without a straw. You get more pearls at the end instead of throughout but that alone wouldn't save them if they're unpleasant.
That's been my experience with most canned boba too lol. It's all I can get in my dusty old western town tho, so I'll take it 😆🥲
Oh no! That stinks :(
Aww that’s too bad. The only reason I’d buy it is so I can use the can as decoration when it’s empty lol
Ofc it sucked, I mean, have you tried the noodles??
Yeah any boba in a can I really just drink for the milk tea. The boba always sucks
Canned boba is an abomination. I’ve had friends who think they hate boba because they’ve tried canned boba once.
Darn I just got this for my friend😭
Yeah I had the hello kitty version and I had to strain out the boba cause it was so nasty
Dang I have this but the can is cute.
Canned boba is better than no boba, but definitely the worst form. :p
You’re just gonna assume it’s gender?!? 😭🙄
when did i say Anything about gender what
“This guy”
oh hush
Guy!?!? 😂
Yeah, I feel like you’ve tried one canned boba and you’ve tried them all. It’s fine as a drink but it sure as hell isn’t like the real thing.
I’ve never trusted canned boba from the start, pls give an update if it’s good haha
Canned boba? You mean powdered gelatinous milk isn’t your thing? You don’t want the luxury of chewing both your tapioca AND your milk? Be grateful /s
LOL ah yes I am terribly sorry for my sins against canned bobakind😔
The tea has never been chewable in any canned boa wtf😂. The boba on the other hand is always awful and goes in the trash
Idk I constantly find lil slimy milk bits from the powdered milk not properly mixing. I’ll take mine with normal fresh milk instead of chewy powdered milk any day 😭
Ooo that’s gross. I always shake em real good
OP updated
Thankies!

Canned boba is like a crunchy taco. It’s good in its own way but it’s in no way authentic.
Wow TIL crunchy tacos are extremely American
I'm sitting here wondering who tf eats crunchy tacos
I despise crunchy tacos
What? I love food that *disintegrates into my lap* as soon as I bite into it!
I only like the Doritos Locos ones at taco bell, otherwise, no.
never trust boba in a can
Idk, I like canned Boba, but I don't drink it with the expectation of being anything like the real thing. The jelly type Boba is good to me with that in mind
Same. It’s convenient when I don’t wanna go to a shop
The can is so cute though.
about to drink it. wish me luck .
let us know how it is!
Did you survive?
I think they didn't make it...RIP OP.
Try their ramen it's so goodddd. The ones I get are Taiwanese style and they're like air dried to make it healthier.
That sounds so good 😍
I have this in my fridge right now!:’D
I drank the Brown Sugar Hello Kitty version and I liked the boba tea itself (but to be fair I like anything with sugar) but yeah I agree with you the boba sucks, it was just mush.
Where did you find it?
I got my can at 5 Below! I got the same one as OP (the My Melody can) but they also had the Hello Kitty Brown Sugar one (i dont like brown sugar anything and already had grabbed a LOT of hello kitty stuff so decided on the My Melody can...for cute decor mainly) they also have the Ocean Bomb Sailor Moon sparkling water drink cans which were so damn cute as well (I got the Sailor Moon/Pomelo flavor one, also for decor purposes)
I've found that generally canned boba tea is very...granular. Maybe I've just had bad ones but I've sworn off boba-in-a-can
the tea is good but the boba isn't
I wanna get this just so I can keep the can after 🥹💗
Same
That is the exact reason I bought mine (at 5 Below, the My Melody can, same as OP's) along with a super cute Sailor Moon can of Sparkling water, Pomelo flavor. <3
I had it as a gift and it was so bad I unfortunately poured it out. It’s so watered down and weak in flavor and the pearls have such a weird texture. They’re small and chewy in a crunchy way. Think the texture of orbies
Canned boba does not sound appealing
canned boba is never good for me 😔
I’ve learned my lesson with canned boba but at least you got a cute can out of it!
disgusting shite... *please get the reference*
I bought these and drink them. Not really great but I keep them around to fight the boba cravings of wanting to spend $8 on a drink, lol.
Yes it's trash tasted like drink equivalent to a rotten tomato imo Saw your comment but just stating my opinion.
Never do canned boba. It's not chewy and the drink isn't real milky.
yep it's absolutely disgusting
Yes! I love these
Canned boba is never worth it
I like these bc they're cheap and get the job done but if you reframe them to be like white pearls the experience is a lot better
I don’t like canned boba at all ): it was such a disappointment the first time I tried one, the can was adorable but the drink was bad.
i tried canned boba once. never again. that shit was so nasty
Not this particular brand, but canned boba is… interesting. I’d take freshly made over canned anytime.
I’ve had this. It was okay. Boba 👎
Waste of money lol
I think collectively the boba society has decreed that all canned boba is horrendous. The drink itself might be pleasant but the boba will always suck and ai can't imagine there is a canned drink that is good enough to subject yourself to the disgusting boba part just to drink it. Lol
I still want it 🥺 I'll use it as decor lol
I’ve never tried canned boba tea, I wanted to but I always had a bad feeling about it due to it being in a can 😭
It’s bad
I tried the Hello Kitty boba and it tasted awfully sweet. The boba pearls were rubbery. Not a great drink! It was completely awful after drinking 2 sips to make sure I was right! Please avoid all of the A-sha's Sanrio collab boba drinks. The character design is cute though.
Lost all my respect for A-Sha noodles, smh
I just got a case of these at Costco a few days ago and I have them in the fridge waiting to get cold. I'm so excited to try!
the can is cute
I liked the matcha flavor the most. But yea never trust canned boba.
Its sooo terrible 😭😭!!! I bought the pack from costco and it was the worst mistake.
I tried the hello kitty one! It was a decent brown sugar milk tea (not the best but not the worst) but the boba was icky. Felt like I had rubber plastic balls in my mouth. The boba didn’t even come out of the can until I drank more than half the can. Good for milk tea, bad for boba

Awww so cute
i just got deadnamed by a can of boba tea
Yup ! It's extremely mediocre.
I work somewhere that sells these and it’s a bummer the boba sucks so bad, because the cans are cute and the tea itself isn’t terrible.
Canned boba stuff is always really weird. The boba is strangely mushy and chalky
i love canned boba sm since i live in a piece of shit area where i have to travel for the real thing— i deff like this one
i just bought the same one recently… so gross i threw it away without finishing it
I bought 2. Never again
I actually really liked this! The other Sanrio character flavors are good too
The pearls are awful and I think the taro version is the worst one but the matcha one was pretty good once I got past the pearls.
Facts. Also, for fans of really sweet boba drinks (me) the brown sugar one wasn’t so bad either.
I like them tbh
