Pi Day: Irrational Ice Cream Flights & Bubble Teas

Pi Day at The Hop & Pop
Irrational Ice Cream Flights & Bubble Teas + Marvelous Math Club Fundraiser

Saturday, March 14 | 640 Merrimon Ave

On Pi Day (3.14), we’re celebrating the beauty of the irrational — the unpredictable, the unsimplifiable, the wonderfully chaotic.

🍦 Irrational Ice Cream Flights
A four-scoop journey determined entirely by chance.
Using a random number generator, we’ll map numbers to flavors and let mathematics do the scooping.
No substitutions.
No simplifying assumptions.
Just delicious uncertainty.

🧋 Irrational Bubble Teas
Pop Bubble Tea is joining the fun with drinks built the exact same way — assigning numbers to flavors and toppings, selecting at random, and constructing your beverage in real time.
Much like π itself, these seemingly chaotic creations make perfect sense when you stop trying to control them.

📐 Supporting Marvelous Math Club

This year, Pi Day is also a fundraiser.
10% of all sales at The Hop & Pop Bubble Tea (640 Merrimon Ave) will benefit Marvelous Math Club.

Marvelous Math Club is an after-school program at Pisgah View Community Center that uses a unique model integrating math and psychology. The program centers the lived experiences of students, parents, and guardians, and celebrates its elementary-age participants as Math Leaders — building confidence, curiosity, and community through mathematics.

Keep the Pi celebration going!

In honor of Pi Day, UNC Asheville is hosting a community 3.14-mile fun run starting at exactly 3:14pm.

Run. Walk. Skip. Trot.
Just cover 3.14 miles and celebrate the magic of circles.

Registration:
$10 for students
$31.41 for all other participants
There will be delicious Pi(e) at the finish line. 😋

Proceeds benefit the Asheville Initiative for Math at UNC Asheville, including Marvelous Math Club — supporting programs that use math as a catalyst to build leadership skills, create community, and provide spaces where elementary school students can grow academically and socially.

Come celebrate:

• Non-repeating sequences
• Chaotic decision-making
• The joy of letting go
• Circles, constants, and community
• And treats that refuse to converge

Because sometimes the most beautiful things in life are irrational.

And sometimes they come with tapioca pearls. 🧋🍦🥧
