For context: a year ago Simu Liu called out a Quebec Canadian company on Dragon's Den for cultural appropriation of Boba. They claimed they radically re-invented boba (they didn't).
Since the scandal, they originally promised to do better. Except, they've pretty much done worse:
- Removed all mention of Taiwan on their site's About page
- No mention of Taiwan or origins of boba on product labels/marketing/socials
- Continue claiming they're the first to mass market boba and re-invent it to be healthier.
- Removed their original apology
Sigh…
Disappointingly, it looks like the company has continued to grow and reach more shelves.
