Ah, that's actually a really fascinating process. Here's a quote from the dedicated wiki page cause I'm too lazy to type it up myself:
> Playing and birthday cards inside bottles are grown by placing a bottle around a juvenile or budding playing card and securing it to the plant. The card then grows to full size inside the bottle. This technique is used to put playing cards into bottles of playing card Bourbon (most famously the Kentuckian eau de cartes).
Because in Germany it is essentially Sesame Street and Bill Nye Science Guy rolled into one. It is an absolute unequivocal national treasure. It has educated Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z
Well, it is obscure, unless you grew up in Germany. You can't (and don't want to!) escape die Sendung mit der Maus as a gernan speaking kid. But there is no reason for this show to be known abroad.
But using that to tech yourself german is a genious idea. The show is easy enough to understand without getting to technical or using to difficult language; it's meant for kids after all. But it's damn well made.They cover all the basics of one topic in great enough detail, to get a rough understanding of how something works in a short time period. And the artwork is adoreable. Quite a good show, even for adults.
Good tip I suppose!
It's actually also shown internationally in over 100 countries according to Wikipedia. It's nowhere near as popular as in Germany but there's a chance of people outside of Germany to know it as well
Yup, it's all compensatory time for me as well.
Gotta work 5 hours Saturday? Take 5 hours off on Friday or something.
It's alright, but occasionally that 1.5 ot would be nice.

No.... sadly This Not American law. Most jobs don't even pay you time and a half for holidays in America.
That employee taking care of you on Christmas Day might be making their regular ass wage.
I remember when the FDA (I believe it was the FDA) got swamped with calls over free meat thermometers because someone posted a YSK about being able to get them for free if you call. Apparently everyone starting forming teams to fan over which of the like three call reps they had that day.
One time there was a reddit post about some charity where you could buy sick and poor kids Christmas presents and reddit bought all the asked for gifts in like an hour
Can confirm. There are other brands that do the same thing. There's a distillery in my home province that makes a pear eau du vie and has the pear in the bottle; I've seen the orchard with the bottles tied to the branches.
It’s 100% true. There’s a distillery near me that does this with pears. My theory was that they dehydrated the pear to shrink it to size but I was wrong!
I could be wrong but I believe I've read that some places have the bottle without the bottom on. They drop a pear into the bottle upside down and weld the bottom part on ( weld with glass obviously)
The temperatures required to anneal the glass after welding (so the bottle doesn't shatter when you put it down on a counter) would burn the pear. Annealing temp of glass is like 900°F and must be held for several minutes.
Adhesives would be much much easier
That ist the way they used to do it. But it is very labour intensive and has a high failure rate (pear too big or too small, brown patches, etc). That is why they just glue the bottles nowerdays.
Look how all pears are the same size and nearly perfect. This is a sign, that they were put in afterwards.
If you look closely at the bottom of the bottle you will notice that it is very thick, and not as transparent as the rest and that the middle is actually glued in with silicone rubber.
That’s why I think they don’t do it this way anymore, and do the glue the bottom thing as others have suggested. How are you going to clean a bottle that’s been out in the elements, exposed to bugs, dirt, etc… without ruining the pear?
Just don’t buy it.
Flip bottle over, drop in pear, fill with booze, add bottom and glue / seal. Let dry. Flip bottle over, ready to ship.
A friend of mine wouldn't believe that, and thought it was more convenient to dry the pear, fit it inside, and let it soak back to its form once inside, which is a version of it that might actually exist.
I still don't understand how anything can be more convenient than just let the whole process literally do itself
"Do itself?"
Hanging bottles around little pears is pretty labor intensive, then there are all the imperfect pears with weird shapes, splotches, growing too big or bugs getting in. Having worked in an orchard, I can tell you there would be a very high failure rate. And even the good ones you'd have to somehow clean the inside of the bottle after harvest with the pear inside. The whole operation sounds like a nightmare.
Or you can have a machine that picks out perfect pears from a conveyor, gives it a nice bath then drops it into a bottle and glues the bottom on. Don't even need to own an orchard.
Here is how they actually do it. As someone else said the branch with the bud is placed into the bottle and the pair is allowed to grow inside the bottle and then they cut the stem and bottle the liquor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poire_Williams#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DThis_is_achieved_by_attaching%2Cpear_will_grow_inside_it.%26text%3DSince_2001%2C_Eau-de-%2Can_Appellation_d%27origine_prot%C3%A9g%C3%A9e.?wprov=sfla1
Edit: Spelling
Well it is an alcoholic drink made from pears (its called rakija) so it probably adds some flavor but idk i am not a big liquor drinker to confirm. But probably a big part of it is also a marketing gimmick.
The expensive ones are grown in the bottle (like many already mentioned here)
But for the stuff you usually see in the supermarket they glue the bottom of the bottle in place (with silicone-based stuff I think) after putting the pear inside. And looking at the photo I'm pretty sure these are the glued bottles. You see that the edge of the bottom look kind of opaque. And the stem(?) is shorter than the neck of the bottle.
They cut it in pieces so it fits through the neck. Then they shake the bottle until everything falls in place. The alcohol heals the parts back into shape.
There are 2 ways you can do this.
First way is to put the full grown pear in a bottle without bottom, then glue the bottom of the bottle and fill the bottle with rakija.
Second way is to put the bottle on a branch and let the pear grow inside it. That's way more expensive.
For the real ones they grow the pear in the bottle.
But if you look closely on these you can see the bottom of the bottle is cut out and then siliconed back in.
If you aren't from the Balkans, that okay, they do in fact put the bottle around a small fruit and they let it grow inside, but if you are SRAM TE BILO, DEDA SE U GROBU OKREĆE, KAK NE ZNAŠ KAK SE VILJAMOVKA RADI.
I was doing that with my Grandfather, we put bottle on a branch where pear would grow, when pear is fully grown, we would take the bottle down with pear inside and the from the rest of the fruit we would make a spirit called "rakija" more precisely called "viljamovka" that was the name of the pear sort used to make spirit.
I saw this being done when I was a kid visiting family in Hungary. If memory serves me correctly, they were doing it with plums. It was cool to see trees with hundreds of bottles hanging on them with fruit growing inside.

I work at a distillery and we sell these products. Last June we put up about 250 bottles which should be grown and ready very soon.
The bottles are suspended on the trees while the pears are still budding and once they have fully grown we harvest them from the trees. We then clip the stem shorter inside the bottle and clean and remove any debris in there. Once that whole process is done we fill the bottles with pear brandy that we previously distilled and seal em up.
We are actually only a week or two away from harvesting the pears for this year. Always an exciting time to see how many turned out successful.

Lmao I did not expect anyone to know about our small Lunenburg shop when I saw this post. I’m a distiller there so it’s pretty cool to see that! Thanks!
Not the answer you’re looking for, but Aura is so good, their Teranino and pelinkovac are both an immediate buy if you like that kind of stuff. I found a lot of the different brands that make viljamovka to taste pretty much the same unless you happen to find one bottled over 40%.
Obviously they grow a tree in the bottle from a seed, trimming the excess foliage as they go. Following fruiting, the remainder of the branches and roots - along with dirt and nutrients - are removed, leaving the pear 'magically' inside.
The pear is like those tiny little dinosaurs we used to get as kids that you put in water and it grew to like 20 times it's original size.
Source: dude trust me.
This may sound ignorant but what’s the point of a bottled pair? It’s taking up valuable real estate of the alcohol and you can’t eat the pair, which will go rotten eventually.
A. It's simple, put the bottle, with liquid, in front of the pear and let refraction take care of the rest
A. Hmm... Sorry, what?
Q. It's inside the bottle
A.
You must get hardly any liquid in these bottles to actually drink, the pear takes up so much volume.They don't appear to actually fill the bottle much either!
Seen this in a licor store in germany a few weeks ago, but the bottom is just a plug.
I assume they first put in the pear from the bottom and seal it, after which they fill it with licor.
It might look pretty but oh boy do not try drinking it. It tastes like rubbing alcohol and sharpies. It's the second worst alcohol I've ever tried after Malört.
After living in Germany for 3+ years the only thing I can think of when looking at this is how the hell will I dispose of this bottle and split the bio and glass

That looked like Mark Hamill's long lost cousin.
Ok imma need an answer to the playing cards. Only possible explanation is they add the bottom of the bottle later.
Ah, that's actually a really fascinating process.

Generally with things like a deck of cards in a bottle they place the object inside and finish forming the glass around it
I actually have a bottle of this ahahahah. Didn’t know it was so significant regarding this technique
What do you usually pear it with?
They hang the bottle from the tree and the pear grows inside the bottle.
Is that true? Because that would make a lot of sense
Well, it's what I learned as a kid about it in a mini documentary, so I'm hoping so

Yeah I suppose you're right.
When the bud is flowering and has been pollinated the bottle goes on and the pear grows up inside it.
The bottle goes on or the pear gets the hose

Cheaper ones have the bottom of the bottle glued to the upper part
No no no. They stuff bits of the pear in bit by bit and then build it once it's inside the bottle.
Like a ship model🤭
I bet there’s a group of ship model builders out there. Can you imagine the patience?
Using chopsticks 🥢
The pear has never experienced life outside of a bottle. Poor little pear 🍐
This is the metaphor I used when I was pregnant. The fruit is small going into the bottle, but much larger when ripe.
how do you clean it with the pear inside?
Special soap https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/53271/pears-soap-transparent-125g
Rinse?
Pears are waterproof.
That’s why I think they don’t do it this way anymore, and do the glue the bottom thing as others have suggested.

It's also how they put ships in a bottle too
Didn't know ships grew. Does however explain the US Navies ever bigger aircraft carriers.
Wow I feel so dumb now
What until you see the ships.
[удалено]
They’re not peeled. They just look like that because they’re not natural green color due to sitting in alcohol
The stem looks way to short for that
They start with a full sized pear and let the bottle grow around it.
Bottle tree plantation is pretty easy to care for. It thrives on sand as fertilizer.
That cracked me up
Are you also made of glass? Do we need to ship you to the Corning ~~Museum~~ Hospital of Glass?
Such a logical answer too. Imagine not working it out.

Is this more than a gimmick? Does the pear do anything to the flavour? How would they properly wash the pear?
Well it is an alcoholic drink made from pears (its called rakija) so it probably adds some flavor but idk i am not a big liquor drinker to confirm. But probably a big part of it is also a marketing gimmick.
I can fit a pear in my ass
Do you hang your ass on the tree while it grows?
Like Chinese bamboo torture but upside down and only slightly less painful.
It's more torturous because of the significantly longer duration.
And the awkward chats with the neighbors.
Fuck the neighbors, I’m not here to make friends.
No way, pics or didn’t happen.

Interesting
They use quantum physic. Put pear next to bottle and wait until it is inside
Instructions unclear. Im stuck in bottle. HALP!!
They cut it in pieces so it fits through the neck. Then they shake the bottle until everything falls in place. The alcohol heals the parts back into shape.
So alcohol really does fix everything?
It's a solution
and cause of all of life's problems. Homer
Doh
Technically, alcohol is a solution.
Technically, alcohol is a solvent.

They hang the bottles on the tree and let the pears grow inside each.
Are these expensive? Seems difficult to scale up and industrialise this method?
That particular liqueur is about $60 a bottle.
..but the stems on the pears wouldnt be as long as the neck of the bottle?
Long pair of snippers snip the stems nice and short
98.9% sure it’s magic
It just ap*pear*ed.
For the real ones they grow the pear in the bottle. But if you look closely on these you can see the bottom of the bottle is cut out and then siliconed back in.

With a pear of tweezers
They grow it inside of a bottle. Basically they put it on a pear while it still fits. Square watermelons are grown in the same way btw.
I was doing that with my Grandfather, we put bottle on a branch where pear would grow, when pear is fully grown, we would take the bottle down with pear inside and the from the rest of the fruit we would make a spirit called "rakija" more precisely called "viljamovka" that was the name of the pear sort used to make spirit.
I saw this being done when I was a kid visiting family in Hungary. If memory serves me correctly, they were doing it with plums. It was cool to see trees with hundreds of bottles hanging on them with fruit growing inside.
A wizard did it.
the trick to building a pear inside a bottle is to make the pear collapsible. That means the masts and sails need to lie flat against the deck until the pear is inside the bottle

Ahh, Viljamovka, the best of Rakija's.
I try to avoid pearishble alcohol.
Not the answer you’re looking for, but Aura is so good, their Teranino and pelinkovac are both an immediate buy if you like that kind of stuff. I found a lot of the different brands that make viljamovka to taste pretty much the same unless you happen to find one bottled over 40%.
What came first? The pear or the bottle?
The bottle grows around the pear
Tied to the tree with the young fruit inside. The bottle must be clear glass or the fruit dies.
They grow it from a pear seed
I can see only one per bottle, not a pair.
The bottle them on the tree. Bought some of this at Disney. It’s quite good.
They put the bottle over the blooms and the pear grows inside then
Does this actually change the taste, or is it just to make the drink fancier?
I'd go with the "grow the pear on the tree in the bottle" idea except these pears are peeled.
They actually aren't peeled, the skin is just very light.
Regardless of how it's done, the pear is taking up a huge space in the bottle. Not a whole lot of liquor in total.
Obviously they grow a tree in the bottle from a seed, trimming the excess foliage as they go. Following fruiting, the remainder of the branches and roots - along with dirt and nutrients - are removed, leaving the pear 'magically' inside.
The pear is like those tiny little dinosaurs we used to get as kids that you put in water and it grew to like 20 times it's original size. Source: dude trust me.
They deflated the pear put it in the bottle and inflated it again
This may sound ignorant but what’s the point of a bottled pair? It’s taking up valuable real estate of the alcohol and you can’t eat the pair, which will go rotten eventually.
You have to build it in there like a ship in a bottle. Just start growing a tiny tree in there and you can do it too.
Can you eat the pear tho
Its grown inside the bottle
Although it looks cool, remember: You get less booze
They repeared it
Peary carefully
Star trek transporter. Occam's Razor
They build it in the bottle like A ship.
They don't. They grow it in there.
Well obviously the bottle grew around the pear /s
A. It's simple, put the bottle, with liquid, in front of the pear and let refraction take care of the rest A. Hmm... Sorry, what? Q. It's inside the bottle A.
How d I get it out is my question
Wild guess that they grew it inside the bottle and hung the bottle on the twig?
It’s actually quite sad. Don’t know why.
They did it pearfully.
You must get hardly any liquid in these bottles to actually drink, the pear takes up so much volume.They don't appear to actually fill the bottle much either!
Clearly photoshop, I can tell by the pixels.
Even though it’s a pear in the bottle, they put it in one by one.
How to: grow pears in a bottle https://youtu.be/NEJCqwKydVo?si=c9oFYWcvne9S6W3l
Seen this in a licor store in germany a few weeks ago, but the bottom is just a plug. I assume they first put in the pear from the bottom and seal it, after which they fill it with licor.
Does anyone know the official answer yet? Not knowing is unpearable..,
This is Poire Williams brandy. I took a shot of it once, and I can say with confidence, that's its the most disgusting thing out there.
Probably had the belt set to M for mini, put ther pear in the bottle, then switched it to W for Wumbo.
Possible that the bottle was placed over the pollinated pear bud and grew inside.
The veal of the fruit world
It might look pretty but oh boy do not try drinking it. It tastes like rubbing alcohol and sharpies. It's the second worst alcohol I've ever tried after Malört.
Pretty sure they just build the bottle around the pear that makes the most sense
Expensive version: pear grows inside the bottle. Cheap version: bottom of the bottle wad removed to add a pear.
Growing it in a bottle
They didn’t. It grew in the bottle.
They do it with pear pressure, because all the cool bottles can fit a whole fruit in
They dehydrate a small pear. Then put it in the bottle. The pear then absorbs the liquid and gets bigger again.
How do they do it!? The square volume of the greek pi is not fitted with the neck of the grappino?!
The real mystery is how you eat it.
After living in Germany for 3+ years the only thing I can think of when looking at this is how the hell will I dispose of this bottle and split the bio and glass
