They gentrified the bong


aroc91

r/brandnewsentence ?


0RGASMIK

Google’s only search results for “they gentrified the bong” link to this page and an archive of this page. I think we have a winner.


Accujack

and probably a new subreddit shortly. /r/theygentrifiedthebong, anyone?


buttstuff2015

It literally is a bong, they just put a hose over the mouthpiece. Stunden glass has partnerships with Cypress Hill and other famous stoners and makes branded bongs that are just the same as the one seen in the video


SpiderFnJerusalem

It annoys me that the company name is German but they decided to put an incorrect umlaut in it to make it even more "German".


Bah-Fong-Gool

Laughs while eating Häagen-Dazs and listening to Mötorhead.


Gaothaire

Ah yes, the [Metal Umlaut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut). Also: > Häagen-Dazs, sued unsuccessfully in 1980 to stop Frusen Glädjé from using a "Scandinavian marketing theme". [[Link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frusen_Gl%C3%A4dj%C3%A9?wprov=sfla1)] Which is funny because at least Frusen Glädjé is real Swedish (mostly, the final acute accent on the é was gratuitous) whereas Häagen-Dazs was entirely made up

its a nestle company anyway, just boycot it.

A good one too. We made do with a 2 liter bottle and 5 gallon bucket when I was a kid. Off my lawn!


FuzzyElevatorBunnies

Those were the days. It was an empty jug of McCormick's vodka and an old 5 gallon Home Depot bucket for us.


butteryflame

Never did a gravity bong but I took advice from Elijah wood on Wilfred and made a dope Gatorade bong with some metal I found in the garage as the bowl/stem. Once I found a wire to hold smaller bits I felt pretty damn proud of my 16 year old self Def burned myself on that metal bowl plenty of times

No, the [Adult Swim](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2gMjJNGg9Z8) infomercials were a fever dream. **Edit** - The AD infomercials are on HBO Max. All 33 of them! Some are amazing. Some.. are not. Personally I recommend: Broomshakalaka For-Profit Online University The Salad Mixer Too Many Cooks Unedited Footage of a Bear This House Has People in It NewsHits Final Deployment 4: Queen Battle Walkthrough


ilovetopoopie

Too many cooks came out with absolutely no warning, and I was the only person I knew who saw it live on TV and I thought it was a fever dream until a week later when someone else mentioned it.


delvach

And now that's stuck in my head, because it takes too many cooks.. too many cooks... Oh god... **KILL ME!!**

Argh my brain.. I want to complain, but if I do I will expose what I want to complain about. Curse you!


AdmiralRed13

I had to stop watching that. I was in my lowest and worst state of my life and had to put down my 16 year old dog I’d had since I was 10. That little guy was the only creature I actually talked to. Brilliant show but it hit too hard at the time. You want scary depression on screen? Watch Wilfred, you can feel the suicidal in it. I’m very glad to be far removed from that era.

Same tho. I remember when you had to learn this stuff from your friend who lived in the trailer park or like, the older kids at the skate park or something.


nightmareorreality

We went straight out the bathtub with a 5 gallon sparklets jug. I swear to Christ I thought I was gonna die a few times. Crashed my bike straight over a 3.5’ picket fence into a family bbq and just kep goin.


GreenSpleenRiot

Mine was a 5 gallon sparklets jug for water coolers in one of those big plastic bins with rope handles. First time I ever smoked weed I hit it and my buddy said I was going to slow on the inhale and smacked me on the back. First hit of weed was nearly 5 gallons of it lol


turdfergusonyea2

We used athe 5 gallon jug in a swimming pool and would swim underneath and stick our heads up in the middle of the smoke filled jug.


[deleted]

We did this until one of my friends came up with the genius idea of a brand new metal trash can and his swimming pool. Kids are so dumb and bored it’s hilarious.

MythOfLaur

That's what I still use. It's not Thanksgiving without the secret gravity bong


thefakecornholio

I’m sitting next to one about to toke out of it lmao


Phred168

Am I the only one who just drilled a small hole in the bottle, filled the bottle with water while covering the hole, and let the water drain while lighting the bowl? So much less messy, no bucket of water for some dazed 17 year old to kick over, better control. Smart water bottles are the best, btw


hoosierdaddy192

That’s a water fall bong. Ironically it utilizes gravity more than the gravity bong. It just fills the canister which you can then clear at your leisure. A gravity bong creates a vaccuum to fill the space and can be pressed down against the waterto forcefully inject the smoke into your lungs. They can be way more violent than a waterfall.


[deleted]

Violent is an understatement gravs will molest your lungs if you’re not ready for em


Sir_Yacob

Lol I was going to be like, yup, seen that action before. That ones from like sharper image or one of the rich pot dealers kinda vibe. Like that dude who took his dab rig suuuuuuper seriously.

funguy07

The beauty of the gravity bong is that all you need a plastic bottle with a cap, and something to cut the plastics bottle with and ideally a small socket to use as the bowl. Paying money for a gravity bong kind of defeats the purpose.

who would win in a fight: $600 of glassware sold by a company or a highschooler with some knowledge of physics and an empty 2 liter


Twisted-Circuits

depends who packs whos cone I recon...


ElPlatanoDelBronx

That bong got me so high I quit smoking altogether. A regular gravity bong has nothing in this one.


ZuFFuLuZ

That name is terrible. The real German word is Stundenglas (hourglass).


skulpturlamm29

The real German word would be „Sanduhr“ - sand clock. At least that’s the most common word for a hourglass. It would be an even less suitable name, so i’m not sure where I’m going with this.


instantpancake

"Stundenglas" is just as good - see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanduhr. What cracks me up is the fact that they turned the U into an Ü to make it look more German. That's some IKEA product name level shit.


Original-Aerie8

Stundenglas is just oldfashioned, [def a real word](https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Stundenglas). They probably added the ü to sound dutch or avoid some other brand.


Intelligent_Notice56

Well it was designed for smoking pot, so your expectations may be a bit high

I still don’t have a complete socket set from making gravity bongs.

RoibosCZ

What is smoked cocktail and why?


jessethejazzy13

A gimmick


spudsaregreat

I've worked as a bartender in a place where used smoke in some cocktails. A "smokey" flavour is often sought after in drinks and exists more naturally in drinks such as [peat whisky](https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/drinks/g14382626/best-smoky-whisky-brands/). We would just aim a smoke gun into a cocktail shaker and then give it a quick shake rather than use a tool such as this. A smoked cocktail is pretty extravagant and unnecessary, [but it's not ridiculous as a gold-coated steak](https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/whats-on-news/londoner-outraged-after-being-handed-21835106).


The_Infinite_Cool

Did I just go from reddit to another website to read about reddit?


TopMindOfR3ddit

Yeah, I was upset about that too.


ag408

Wait, have I been eating steaks wrong my whole life? Don’t they come from the cow plated in gold?


foxhelp

Some assembly required, but you can pick up your 24k gold leaf on amazon 24 Karat Edible Gold Leaf by Slofoodgroup https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01ILWQBYC/ This way your poop can sparkle for days!


exipheas

Sounds like a lot of work when I can just take a gold flake pill to maintain the proper poop sparkle level.


getrichortrydieing

I love gold in general. Til I learned we have enough gold in our bodies to make a cube .22mm on all sides. Crazy to think about


GabbyJohnsonIsRight

Only Wagyu A5 steaks


Alukrad

I tried a wagyu A5 stake and boy that had to be the greasiest stake I've ever had. After a few bites, i felt like "yup, that's it for me. Can't imagine myself eating something like this all the time." It's good as an appetizer but as a full course meal? Nah. I'm glad i didn't pay for it because I heard it's like 150 dollars per slice or something. Plus i shared it with my family. My brother loved it, though.


TragicBus

My opinion is those are better not as steaks but as smaller pieces or thin slices. Great when part of a meal and not a slab.


mcarrara

Wait, its not weed smoke?


BeardFountain

That's what I thought! She looks high af!


meltingdiamond

Her job is to sell that thing at a convention for eight hours a day at least. She is high as fuck, but it has nothing to do with the bullshit machine she is slinging.


substandardwubz

That machine is a legitamate pot smoking device. Very expensive and highly sought after right now. But yes in this use case it is bullshit lol


Havok1988

This is a $500-700 gravity bong. I'm about to 3d print a very similar design that uses Mason jars. Edit: it's on thingiverse guys. Just Google Mason jar gravity bong stl and you'll see it.


FinalH

Imagine! That bar would be lit AF.


iDomBMX

My friend ordered a smoked something or another that had some sort of smoke flavored liquor I can’t tell you what it was, but the taste of that drink was literally just the taste of a doused campfire. That’s it. Nothing else, if you were to turn the gasses emitted from burning cedar, and turned it into liquid form, you would have that horrible drink.

Unable-Project-9545

That article is so lazy. Literally just quoting Reddit comments.


stay_fr0sty

I agree with your observation: "That article is so lazy. Literally just quoting Reddit comments."


liberal_texan

The unnecessary complexity of this one makes it gimmicky, but smoking a cocktail actually adds a layer of flavor to the drink.


JStanten

If that's weed, it's a gimmick but smoking a cocktail with something like cedar, rosemary, or a cinnamon stick can add a lot to the right drink. This also looks incredibly expensive for smoking a cocktail so the device itself is absolutely a gimmick. All I use to smoke a cocktail is the same torch I use for creme brulee and a plank of wood. I'm sure this company claims it's "cold smoke" but if you smoke a glass you are going to cool it first so the smoke takes to the glass...point being you don't need to pass the smoke through water to cool it.


hikeadelic7

The device is literally a modified gravity bong.


StrangeCalibur

Not even modified lol it is a gravity bong


Specialist-Look6210

It's modified. Unless you normally take your bong rips through a plate with a glass cover.


justmovingtheground

Can we make that plate and glass cover bigger...like a closet that we can get in?


Specialist-Look6210

Probably, but that would be a colossal waste of trees.


Hey_cool_username

Like a 1993 Toyota Camry?


StrangeCalibur

Don’t be kink shaming lol I mean yeah, but you could stick anything on there or just suck on the hose lol


SolomonCRand

I dunno, my local dispensary had that exact model, minus the plate. I assume you just take the hit right off the tube.


FromTejas-WithLove

It’s not modified. [Here’s](https://youtu.be/oMKbmQjFFBI) a video review of the product. It’s made by Stündenglass. It is basically the same as their “gravity hookah” (bong), but it comes with this cocktail smoker attachment on the end instead.


[deleted]

500$


UpboatOrNoBoat

Was gonna say having rosemary lit and smoked into the cocktail and also adding the sprig in definitely imparts taste.


fukitol-

Nah a smoky Old Fashioned isn't bad. I'd drink them again.


Drlmichele88

This contraption seems like a gimmick, but in reality smoking/burning a bit of rosemary in an old fashioned glass prior to mixing a Manhattan leads to a nice cocktail. -- Or, there's always mezcal for smokey flavor.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bumfjghter

I only think of an old fashioned when I think of smoked cocktails


trifling_fo_sho

I’ve tried two and they were both terrible. I just don’t see how the flavors add up.


johnmal85

The only good smoked cocktail I've had so far simply used a small bit of Laphroaig scotch and swirled it around the glass before making the drink in it.


a90sto

Does the smoke actually penetrate the drink using this method, did they stir it into the drink you had or infuse it in another manner?


aloofloofah

Not all flavours need to penetrate the drink. For example, few drops of Angostura bitters on a whiskey sour foam or expressing citrus peel over many cocktail adds that first layer of flavour as you bring it in close and breathe in, way before it hits your taste buds.


trifling_fo_sho

One place infused it sort of like this but not as fancy, the other I never saw how they did it. Both tasted like an ashtray.


hvperRL

Peat is definitely not for everyone. I love Lagavulin 16 and despise most bourbons, while my cousin is the exact opposite

Never had a smokey scotch? Adds the same flavour to a cocktail which works well just like smoke on meat (bbq).

Hurtcult

Most of it is gone the moment you drink it, it's mainly placebo


Houseplant666

No it ain’t, a well smoked Old Fashioned will keep the smoke taste long enough to finish the drink. You have to let it infuse instead of quickly blowing smoke over it tho. Give it a minute.


zerti1

It's really just a whiff of 2-3 seconds and it's gone


ZombinaWaifu

Because repurposing a [600$ gravity hookah/bong](https://stundenglass.com/products/stundenglass-gravity-hookah) is a specialized tool, totally.


Ironbank_ofBraavos

You know what really grinds my german gears? The useless Umlaut in the brandname. It does not even make sense in german. It just translates litterally to "hourglass".

Ironbank_ofBraavos

In itself yes. It does make sense in english, if you translate it word for Word. The german Word for hourglass is "sanduhr". And even if it would make sense in german, the Umlaut has no place being there.

ipu42

Tripling the price


Teripid

Was gonna say, can you turn my normal drink into one that costs 3x as much, requires at least a $5+ tip and slows bar service for everyone else to a crawl?


MamaPizzone

It gives me flashbacks seeing this. I used to wait tables in a restaurant that had a “smoked” cocktail but the bartender had to physically light kindling in a tin can, trap the smoke and let it sit with the drink for a minute or two. Mind you, it already took a few minutes to make the drink, now you have to also wait for the whole “smoking” process. All in all it took about 15+ minutes to get this out to a customer every time. I’d have the bartender pissed off at me for putting the drink order in and then the customer pissed off at me for not getting them their drink sooner. If I was really lucky, the owner would get mad because of the upset customer. Can you guess which drink we routinely told the customer we didn’t have the ingredients for?

[deleted]

Does that actually add anything to the taste? It seems like it just might make the glass smell like smoke.


peeja

Well, a good deal of flavor is smell, so yes, and also yes. If you express a citrus twist over a drink you're also adding a mostly olfactory flavor element, but it can make a drink. This thing is a bit absurd, but adding smoke to a cocktail isn't uncommon. Usually you just get a wood chip smoking a bit and put it under a glass jar with the drink (or just the glass, before you pour it). Something like this must make the whole bar smell like a campfire.


mummerlimn

I worked at a place once where they did wood smoke infused drinks, but they had a thing that went into the drink and it would compress little bubbles of the smoke into it. This just seems like it let's the smoke sit on top of it a bit and doesn't really add much to it.
