Unusual-looking drinks spark trends and are all the rage. Ever since drinks like "little fresh meat milk tea" and "coffee emulsion" became talking points, the "lightbulb milk tea" from Yilan’s Pearl Milk Tea Museum has been especially eye-catching. Many businesses across Taiwan have joined the lightbulb milk tea trend, adding plenty of creative twists. For example, Tainan’s “Cheng Zai Hu Ya Zhu” is a traditional baozi shop. In addition to giving its baozi playful names, its launch of lightbulb milk tea has repeatedly caused rushes and become a hot topic. Especially with the introduction of blue, pink, and instant noodle-cup-shaped lightbulb milk teas, it has drawn in adventurous consumers.

Originally, besides milk tea flavors, “Cheng Zai Hu Ya Zhu” also offered an apricot milk drink (called "Bubble Apricot Milk"), creating a fully white lightbulb appearance. It then introduced the rarer blue and pink lightbulbs, which were also available in limited quantities. They sold out instantly as soon as they went on sale, with a one-per-person purchase limit—you couldn’t even buy more. Each bottle costs 60 NT dollars.
