屏幕前愛喝奶茶的你,真的會插吸管嗎?
請看題:以下四個選項,評論區(qū)做出你的選擇!
Are you inserting your bubble tea straw the wrong way? Here's a quick test. Which way do you insert your straw?

這里,以珍珠奶茶為例,若從杯蓋正中間插入吸管,如上圖B、C、D所示,在飲品滿杯的情況下,吸管戳破封口的一瞬間,你很可能會遭遇奶茶“飆出”的攻擊!
If you pierce the center of the lid on a full cup of bubble tea (options B, C, or D), you risk an immediate tea splash.
如果你僥幸躲過了,并且選擇D項,將吸管垂直豎立于杯中,此時,奶茶內部空間被一分為二,杯中的珍珠也隨之進入兩側,最后想要徹底將杯內的珍珠吃完,恐怕只能借助搖動杯身或轉動吸管來完成了。

而對于B和C選項,它們的不同之處在于吸管切口的位置,若是直接將吸管切口處對準杯底(如C選項)可謂“天崩開局”!若不嘗試多次轉動吸管,怕是很難“捕捉”杯內的全部珍珠。
而B選項相比之下,則略勝一籌!
Option D (straw straight down) splits the drink in two, making it hard to get all the pearls without shaking or rotating the straw.
Option C (cut end facing the bottom) is even worse — you'll struggle to catch the pearls. Option B is slightly better.

當然,最佳方式還是A選項!
The best method? Option A.

具體做法:
傾斜杯身,選擇上面留有空隙的地方將吸管緊貼一側杯壁插入,吸管切口朝向另外一側杯壁,這時候,吸管切口與另一側杯壁之間形成一個最大的間隙,此刻,流體流動阻力小,珍珠隨奶茶能更順暢進入吸管。
Option A is tilting the cup and inserting the straw close to the side wall, with the cut end facing the opposite wall. This creates the largest gap for pearls to be sucked up smoothly.
你選對(學會)了嗎?

可能也有網友會想:“有時候,奶茶吸管也不是我想插哪里就插哪里的啊?有的奶茶蓋開口孔都已經固定好了。”

像上圖這種情況,別擔心,文中的B選項就是你的最佳做法示例哦。
But what if the lid has a fixed hole? Then go with Option B — it's your best practical choice.

你知道嗎,奶茶杯蓋不止是防漏設計,上面的小孔小凸起,全是設計師們的小巧思!
"The right way to use a bubble tea lid" went viral in recent days. And those lids are smarter than they look.

日常生活中,我們常見的奶茶杯蓋大多設計有3個大小不同的孔——大圓孔用于插粗吸管,方便吸入珍珠、芋圓,不易卡殼;橢圓孔用于直飲防燙,喝奶蓋茶時還能喝出分層口感;針尖小孔則是透氣閥,避免產生負壓真空,也可以防灑漏。
Three holes serve three purposes:
- Large round hole → for thick straws (pearls, taro balls)
- Oval hole → for sipping (prevents burns, keeps cheese foam layered)
- Tiny pinhole → air vent (stops vacuum, reduces spills)

還有一些奶茶杯蓋在設計上帶有“字母孔”(如下圖),這是為了方便店員在出餐時標記飲料用的:比如A是奶茶,B是熱巧克力,把杯蓋上相應的字母按下去,那么即便杯蓋不透明,店員也知道要制作和傳遞的是哪種飲料了。
Some lids also have letter-shaped perforations (A for milk tea, B for hot chocolate) so staff can mark drinks without opening the lid.

值得一提的是,很多冷飲杯的透明杯蓋,其實反扣還能當臨時杯墊,可以防止杯子上冷凝水的滴落。
And one more trick: Take a clear cold-drink lid and flip it upside down. This makes the lid double as a coaster for condensation.

不少網友直呼:天啊!“啞巴設計師”終于出了說明書!想不到,奶茶杯蓋竟藏有這么多“小心機”!
看到這里,是不是生活小技巧又多了一個?快轉發(fā)給你那個買一送一的奶茶“搭子”!
