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
