對習慣英文邏輯的人來說，台灣獨有的「冰塊甜度」客製化就像是在解謎！為什麼「正常」甜聽起來一點都不正常？在這集節目中，John老師要回到當年，用外國人的視角來解釋為什麼客製化流程會嚇到他們，克寧老師則是帶大家回顧珍奶從 30 元銅板價到現在精緻化的進化史，大家也可以學學怎麼跟外國朋友介紹我們的國民飲料。
Do you like drinking hand-shaken beverages? Taiwan's Boba Tea is now popular worldwide, but when Teacher John first returned to Taiwan, standing at the drink shop counter was quite the educational shock! This week on English Cafe, John and Klim talk about this Taiwan pride that gives foreigners culture shock and leaves them both loving and confused.
For people accustomed to English logic, Taiwan's unique "ice level and sweetness" customization is like solving a puzzle! Why does "normal" sweetness sound not normal at all? In this episode, Teacher John goes back to that time and uses a foreigner's perspective to explain why the customization process scared them, while Teacher Klim takes everyone through the evolution of bubble tea from a NT$30 coin price to today's premium versions. Everyone can also learn how to introduce our national beverage to foreign friends.
