I love those trees that have tiny ships on the branches
woozle
ManOfEvil93
half empty the bottle, stick something in the tear up the pear thats probably soft as shit right now, shake the daylights out of the bottle, and have a pear flavoured drink, while it's intact, the pear flavour is sealed into the pear
Rupertc1
This seems unsanitary
WardSharlow
Also, it fucks you out of like 1/3 of a bottle of booze.
pomax
That's not the same bottle.
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
True, as the top imagine is cheap stuff right from the metal shelves of some discounter. It doesn't even have a brand name. The bottom picture is probably from some small distiller. But as the idea of the post is to illustrate the technique it doesn't really matter.
artie500
We once broke the empty bottle in a bar I used to drink at and divvied up the pear. I haven't got the background to describe the pear's taste, but it wasn't the least bit reminiscent of either pear or alcohol.
Hammertulski
If I recall right from having been a part of a similar ceremony, it was like if an alcoholic threw up a fruit salad and shaped the resulting mess into something you’d think would be edible but in fact was not.
Herebychoice
I thought this was ap-pear-ant
enartloc
Not really, the bottom is glued on.

Calvados with apples also...

Ok now show me how they get 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag?
notsurewhattocallthis
Someone told them to "grow a pair" they misheard, but did it!
DoctorWhoovesReads
Now I know how they make ships in a bottle!
allclownsareevil
This has always annoyed me, it's just an optical illusion created by the curved glass, the ship is actually full sized. You people need more science.
Eidodk
You're not wrong. it's just a much more involved process.

So if I stick my dinghy in there...
MCNewYorkLives
Or a cylinder, attached to a larger cylinder
thomn8r
Minus points for not using "appearently"
BronyDanza
The pear in the bottle is a generally a sign of a Williams-Christ you’d want to avoid. Great drink otherwise.
Watchadave
Takes up valuable alcohol room.

And they know it!

I cannot find any information about this particular brand of Eau-de-vie which is brandy or liqueur made from fermented fruits and or vegetables. You can make the vegetables or fruits. This all I could find https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/goldhauch+edler+william+christ+birnen+brand+germany/1/usa-ny-y
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
Since this is the cheap stuff from Lidl, I'd be very surprised if it were actually listed somewhere: https://www.lidl.de/p/goldhauch-williams-christ-birnenbrand-mit-frucht-40-vol/p100205123

I am worried the company is out of business.

That's what they want you to think... Question everything.... This is SATIRE. Something that seems incredibly lost in here
Gunslinger2071
It might not be true but it's not satire. Satire: A literary work in which human foolishness or vice is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
MightyIink
So many bugs are crawling in that bottle...
FoxyEllie
I would assume they have a process that washes the pear before they add the alchohol
distraingotnobrakes
A pear rinses may be deceiving
FoxyEllie
pfff

Wait until you see how food is grown. Normally outside and in dirt!

The alcohol kills them

Everyone likes a nice pear.

I have a pear tree, I may have to try doing this

That sounds a bit dirty.

I thought they blew the glass around the bottle cool

How to sell 400mls in a 750 ml bottle.
Willowknowsall
Brilliant
Skumbo
well you also get a pear
phalanxausage
In the beverage industry, the bottle cost is far & away the greatest expense. The cost of what goes into the bottle is frequently incidental.
psychologisttheologist
That depends entirely on the beverage in question, of course
CelestialSea
It's actually 800 ml in a 750 ml bottle. Because... it's a... oh nevermind, I'll show myself out.
Tarmaccian
Beautiful. I hate you now. +1
DeformedBalls
coderay
I think its safe to say this is NOT a cheaper way to make booze.
Lassannn
Yup. And who wants to eat a pear that tastes I assume like vodka?
AbrasiveKrab
Probably have to smash the bottle to get it out, and swallowing glass isn't fun.
zagibu
Williams is very tasty pear brandy, actually.
bernardthehermit0
And glass
LapsisBeeftech
And glass?
allmj
Put apple slices in rum for a week. They its like an edible shot. the sugar in the fruit gets replaced with the alcohol so the outside alcohol takes a bit better and you can eat apple slices at your in laws and look healthy and not like an alcoholic
allmj
Also works really well with apple pie moonshine or a 50/50 mixture of everclear and apple cider
Malkiot
It's pear spirit.
LoudBirb
*slowly raises hand*
rbudrick
Raises hand. Depending on how long it's been in there, it's great. Example: pineapple slices soaked in rum lose their pineapply flavor after 1-2 mo. (Rum tastes best thwn tho). A nice treat at 1 mo. Flavor then is best. A fruit like this that is whole with skin still on it will last far longer.
whyexactly
Vodka infused fruit can be pretty good. Check out yukka flux. Don't do it with watermelon though, that was like trying to chew a shot.
UncleVenoM
Y'all are not getting it and you're not close either lol
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
This might come a s a shock to you, but this isn't about the pear. You are supposed to drink the booze.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
I mean, the Absolut Pear vodka is VERY yummy.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
They usually only do that with fruit brandy.
RoyalWithChz
As a purveyor of all sorts of alcoholic spirits, I highly doubt the pear is supposed to be eaten. It will just impart a likely very subtle pear flavor to the booze. (I know putting alcoholic in front of spirits may seem redundant, but I wanted to avoid anyone thinking that the ghostly spirits were in my profesional purview)
Cthulhuonabike
How would you even get it out to eat it? Break the bottle?
Serqet1
saddamsbestgoat
Who wants to eat them at all, pears are dusty man, never heard someone talk about a great pear they ate, thank god they don’t come in pairs
MrsConnorMcManus
I ask for pears from Harry & David every year, they’re the best fruit ever
LateNightBunnyParty
Pears are delicious and underrated.
Slashenaar
Could be a 'red delicious apple' thing, where the pears that make it to stores near you are the 'tough' ones?
WardSharlow
Pears are really good stuff, man. A very ripe bosc pear, just days before it goes bad, is the softest, smoothest thing you can eat, except maybe a perfectly ripe mango. It's pure velvety deliciousness.
RedAppleSoda
Psilocybinaut
Exactly. They better show some R.E.S.P.E.C.T
harryht
You sound like a man who has not experienced a great pear. in my top 3 fruits.
JerryCan7331
Mango, persimmon, pear?
johnspeck2
I still find even Harry and David gold wrap very grainy. Juicy and sweet sure, but pear texture is meh.
swedeonamoose
Nothing like a sweet super juicy pear.
saddamsbestgoat
Alright so didn’t realise pears were so respected in the community. What’s the other 2?
GenuineBeamm
I too want to know the top fruits
Gerdalearnedme
Dried pears are to die for.
WardSharlow
You ever had the plum from Japanese plum wine? Same sorta concept, I'd guess.
tctallon
Those umeshu plums are pretty good in rice. Choya is a great one to try.
MerriMod
Those plums are fucking intense, is what they are. Great if you're eating something oily and rich along with it.
SirenBrick
Choya you say?
MangOpana
Super sweet, one of the few drinks I’d actually take with added ice. But otherwise pretty good
slack3rdav3
freeze the plums and use them as ice cubes
tctallon
Definitely, I normally use a mixer to thin it a bit as well. Clear American flavored water is a good mix and so are tart juices like cranberry/cherry.
ShaolinPanda
worse actually, since all the sweetness is sucked out of the fruit, and replaced with the bitterness of the booze.
Demaio1
Yeah but I like bitter food
Badprenup
That's what they said. A pear that tastes like vodka. I've never heard anyone describe straight vodka as tasting "good". It mixes well and a high quality vodka is basically just smoother and has a less harsh flavor/aftertaste
LordOfThePenguin
Vodka is legally required (in the US, at least) to be “colorless and devoid of character” so basically must have no distinctive flavor of its own. Just alcohol and water.
DrMarioSThompson
Try Grey Goose with a pickle brine chaser. Delicious
Strategicgnomer
Ooohhhh no my friend. You need to try some actually good vodka. My favorite can only be bought on a small island off the coast of BC, it's called salt spring shine, tastes of chocolate and fruits and it's amazing. I need to go back there and get a few bottles some time ... It's not even outrageously priced at $50, as it's better than a lot of whiskeys I've had.
Strategicgnomer
And I should add, it's just straight vodka, the flavor is from the brewing and distilling process.
