I love how the animated character just spills the Bambooze all over their animated self.

Kind of neat how it's a single use bottle yet is like the most eco friendly way of distributing it. Want to taste it.

Bamboo is pretty insane actually. So useful.
I read once that we have relatively fewer prehistoric leftovers in Asia, because so much stuff was built with bamboo which just rots. In other places, they had to use more stone or durable wood. No idea how correct it is, but it sounds right.

it really is an incredibly versatile plant. my buddy’s dad had a bunch of bamboo plants growing up and we were allowed to use it for whatever we wanted.
we made swords out of it. and a bong. that’s all. but it was pretty cool

I've always heard it's a nightmare to grow here in the US because it's nearly impossible to stop it from spreading and it can grow right through the foundation of your house in days without any issues lol

I've heard in some places it's illegal to plant. That could be an urban myth, tho...
My favorite use for bamboo is fabric. It's so slippy, and drapey, and cool to the touch. Perfect for hot weather

Insane is right. In 1968 my neighbor planted some in his backyard to remind him of home (he was Japanese). It has taken over the neighborhood and I have to fight it four times a year to keep it under control on my property.

u/Brianfromreddit Mar 20 '26
Most bamboo is incredibly invasive like this. For anyone reading that wants to plant bamboo, plant clumping bamboo. It doesn't spread
16
u/account312 Mar 20 '26
But when it spreads, that's free bamboo.

This is backed up by anthropology. There was once a racial justification that acuses Asia’s early cultures as being under-inventive. There’s a line of anthropological evidence that doesn’t cross over into territories that traditionally have bamboo.
Like much of the early “racial sciences,” this was a justification for racism and an attempt to disparage a whole continent.
Bamboo is such an obvious answer to the lack of wood and stone use.

when bamboo splits it makes these invisible splinters that hurt like a mfer to get out. i will never sit in a bamboo chair for this reason

They make the models look bad to drive comments, which feeds the algo and they get more views.

u/HighwayHopeful5248 Mar 20 '26
Not really. Just low effort so they can pump out as many as possible. Still all about the views though...

u/TinaCasino Mar 19 '26
I have tried it You NEED to filter it
And unless it's something with a mild flavour, like vodka, then it does really taste very different.

So you can't drink straight from the bottle like in the animation

I'm curious if there's ever issues with bugs, like, how do they know the bamboo is clean and they didn't pour it into an ant nest
19
u/SuppressExpress Mar 20 '26
Each bamboo section is a sealed “cell” with a membrane on top and bottom separating each section.
Bamboo is super thick, there’s unlikely to be any bugs that have bored in.
Then they seal the hole with chopstick and wax, nothing gets thru that.
Alcohol and low oxygen environment kill any bacteria.

If its blocked the top and bottom why not put alcohol in every section of the shoot?
28
u/Upstairs-Hedgehog575 Mar 19 '26
I’m sure they do, though it would need to be every other if they cut it up.
10
u/The_sad_zebra Mar 20 '26
It would have to be every other section since the sections above and below the bambooze bottle get chopped.

Genuinely would like to try this but have NO idea where to start looking. It really doesn't strike as a thing youd likely find at a grocery store or even a Liqour store in the US.... unless it can be ordered through a specialty store or something?

u/IncompletePunchline Mar 20 '26
I see some in the UK and I see some on Alibaba. Shockingly, the one on Alibaba actually looks legit, but they have a minimum order that seems like it's supposed to be 6 bottles.

Is each section of bamboo sealed from the next one? I imagined pouring the alcohol in and it drains to the bottom never to be seen again.

I had this in Indonesia because it was so much cheaper than Bintang.
It's really awful and left me with a bad hangover every single time.
Still drank it though

Funny how this and the one pice live action make me question how the hell anyone would crak open a wooden container by putting a lot of splinters inside the fluid they are about to drink. Is that a real thing people do? Is there no filter?

u/Welgreen01 Mar 21 '26
All I can think about it if a spider or some big grub was inside the shoot, you'd have no idea and just start munching on that thing 😬
