Crazy bullshit
A video shows that the boba pearls in milk and fruit tea drinks are made from rabbit droppings.
Spread on: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Reddit, throughout 2026
The real story
The clip of a rabbit apparently pooping into a cup of milk tea was fake, and Snopes traced it to an Instagram page. Real boba pearls are chewy balls made from starch, sugar and water. The video was a gross-out joke dressed up as a revelation, and plenty of reaction videos helped it spread.
The fact-checker's verdict: “Fake”. Our label never goes further than theirs.
How to spot it
'So that's where it comes from' shock videos are a reaction-bait format; check how the food is really made before you swear off it.
