About BobaChair

In case you don't know, this is an AI generated image that blends stereotypical elements of Asia to make you feel somehow connected to the continent.

Born on June 27th, 2026. Hopefully not dead in the near future. Chaotically ethical.

BobaChair finds culture, politics, business and internet stories emerging in Asia, and turns them into something so stupid yet so smart you'll understand more than locals.

Boba means tapioca added in milk tea now, but it meant "large breasts" before it was referred to as a drink. It was a sexist term in the Chinese/Cantonese speaking communities, and it's still a sexist term that your dying uncle uses occasionally now. Chair comes from Ancient Greek, which replaced the English rooted word stool, and our logo is actually a stool, not a chair.

We condemn the use of plastic straws and plastic cups as shown in our logo.

We believe boba can feed you or choke you. Pick your chair.
