I was really overwhelmed by the response to the tapioca drink. Here's the general consensus:

Its a drink that comes in many different flavours now and is popular throughout Asia and even California. It is referred to as bubble tea/pearl tea and is an Asian-type drink made from blended milk teas, with tapioca balls in the middle.
