inventors studied the bubble solutions of Tantrum Toys and its competitors. Tantrum Toys wanted to compare their solution in a neutral setting free of bias.

on a daily basis. Boba is not usually eaten by itself; it can be added to tea or smoothies. It can also be used as the main ingredient for a sweet soup.

1.) In the realm of public policy, some individuals argue that “bubbles” are not the problem, but they are the solution. I must firmly disagree with that belief. Before I state why I disagree, let me first define what a bubble is in this context. The bubbles we are talking about are not the ones you have in a bubble bath or the ones that form when you blow into your toy you had as a child. Bubbles, in an economic sense, are an economic cycle characterized by rapid expansion followed by a…
