Unusual-looking drinks are sparking conversations and becoming a trend. Ever since drinks like "little fresh meat milk tea" and "coffee lotion" made headlines, 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 their own creative twists. For example, Tainan’s “Cheng Tsai Hu Yao Zhu” is a traditional baozi (刈包) shop. In addition to its fun baozi names, its launch of lightbulb milk tea has repeatedly caused rushes and drawn attention. Especially popular are the blue, pink, and instant noodle-cup-shaped lightbulb milk teas, which have attracted adventurous consumers in droves.

Originally, “Cheng Tsai Hu Yao Zhu” offered not only milk tea flavors but also an apricot milk drink (called “Bubble Apricot Milk”), creating a completely white lightbulb appearance. Later, they introduced the rare blue and pink lightbulbs, also available in limited quantities. As soon as they went on sale, they were snapped up by long queues of customers—limited to one bottle per person, no bulk purchases allowed. Each bottle costs NT$60.
