I know what you’re thinking: there’s a 130% sugar level for bubble tea?

I didn’t know that either.

It turns out that there is, so okay, I’ll take note of that when I really need a sugar rush.

But two LiHo staff members decided to do more than that: they allegedly made fun of the customer’s order in front of her.

Here are the deets.

LiHo Staff Allegedly Made Fun of Customer Who Ordered 130% Sugar

According to Facebook user Nellysha Adelynna, two staff members from LiHo in Compass One were having fun at the expense of her order.

Here’s the Facebook post:

Since it’s tl;dr, here’s a summary in point form:

  • Nellysha requires lots of sugar as she’s anemic, so she ordered her usual order of “jasmine green tea large and sugar level 130%”
  • Two female staff members who were making the drink made fun of the order. They allegedly looked at Nellysha and said among themselves while laughing, “130%? Omg!”
  • One of them said, “Nevermind lah! She will die from diabetes.”
  • The other poured a little of the 130% sugar drink into a separate cup and let her colleague tried it. The colleague took a sip and immediately “vomited it out and laughed.”

Needless to say, the post has gone extremely viral, getting more than 2K shares in a day.

LiHo Has Responded

With such strong allegations, LiHo has to respond.

And respond they did, on the same platform that got the incident viral: Facebook.

Here’s their response (so far):

Lest you can’t read, here’s what’s written:

In other words, got reply like no reply lah.

But this incident had me thinking: what’s the highest percentage the sugar level can go? I’ve always thought that 100% is the maximum.

Guess I’m not a bubble tea expert after all.

And if you want to be one, you can watch this video about bubble tea:

Still doesn’t explain what’s the highest sugar level.
