Hiding tapioca balls at the bottom of beverages has proven much more successful than Jello's initial attempts to enter the beverage world by hiding Bill Cosby inside soda machines. May the only beverage surprise be the amount of pleasure gained with today's Groupon to I Heart Boba, valid only at the Houston location. Choose between the following options:

• For $6, you get two smoothies and two sandwiches (a $12 value)
  
• For $12, you get five smoothies (up to a $24.95 value)
  
  

I Heart Boba's beverage chemists synthesize an array of tapioca-laden refreshment alongside a slate of savory Vietnamese sandwiches. Straw savants forge refreshing smoothies from a menu of over 25 varieties, blending an arsenal of fresh fruit to fill cups with flavors such as blueberry banana, taro coconut, and beaded pear ornament. After making flavor choices, customers select from a menu of add-ons to decide on creative boba selections, special sweeteners, and their drink's Facebook profile picture. The café's mélange of Vietnamese sandwiches perfectly balance fruit-filled beverages, as bakery bread fetched fresh each morning bundles barbecue pork, chicken, or meatballs grilled to order. While satisfying palates, impatient brains bask in free WiFi, a computer station, and DirectTV, and electronic dance music keeps customers busy doing the running man in tandem.
