highlyeccentricScene: a family (white), drinking bubble tea, except for the pater familias, who has ordered hot chocolate from the same place I'm ordering coffee.
Child, with bubble tea: I don't like it
Mother: well it's different to the other one, it's not as sweet. This is the more authentic way.
Child: I like the other one better
Mother: what I'm saying is, this is how it's supposed to be made, with more bubbles and less syrup
Child, patiently: I don't like it as much as the other one.
Mother: But it's more /authentic/.
Lesson of the day, humans: your kid doesn't give a shit what's authentic, they just want sugar.
