The New York Times has recognized that it did not discover bubble tea

That boba in your tea? It's, uh, been there for a while.

The New York Times issued a revision Thursday after publishing a bizarre article Wednesday about bubble tea called "Those Blobs In Your Tea? They're Supposed To Be There." The article itself wasn't much better, implying that boba — a popular beverage stateside for years — has finally hit it big in the United States. (The headline was changed several times before the follow-up was published, and the story heavily edited.) 

One of the funniest aspects of the New York Times not knowing about bubble tea is that it was in Fairbanks fucking Alaska over a decade ago.
