Cobra wine or liquor is a folk medicine/male enhancement concoction throughout southeast asia. Sometimes it also includes the blood of the snake and/or venom.

Am I the only one who's flabbergasted about how they actually get the snake into the bottle?

My dad told me that when he lived in Soviet Russia and they started importing these liquors with snakes people were never sure what you were supposed to do with the snake. Were you supposed to throw it out , were you supposed to snack on it while drinking? They never figured that one out.

If you want to sleep tonight, don't do a search for "snake with foot".

How horrifying! Those are bottles; not cans!

I have one of those bad boys on my desk at work. We often try and figure out how the fuck the snake gets in there, and then puffed out so beautifully.

I used to think I was hardcore for eating the worm when I bought the last shot from a bottle of Mezcal. Thanks for setting me straight on that score India.

Get down from there, silly bottle- you're not a can!

Schamus · 11 months

I HAVE ONE OF THESE! My friend went to Vietnam and other Asian Pacific countries and somewhere he found a village where all they do is sell these. Not only is it a snake in a bottle...but it's full of whiskey. Whiskey that people drink. I'm dead afraid to for fear of venom (which reddit taught me my stomach can digest). I have a snake one and a scorpion one...and they're both still full of whiskey. Some day.

KravenLupei · 11 months

I actually have a bottle similar to this. It's grain alcohol with a cobra in it that has a scorpion in it's mouth.

It's from Thailand. I've been waiting for a special occasion for a shot.

Something like this, not taking a picture right before bed.

So that's how they make Budweiser's malt liquor brand, King Cobra. No wonder that shit was $1.09 per 32 oz.

Assuming that is a standard 750 mL, they're trying to screw you out of precious booze. Displacement and all.

bitterorca · 11 months

I got one of those from a friend who visited Vietnam. They cost about 75 cents a bottle.

warbastard · 11 months

I heard a story where one of the snakes in the bottle wasn't dead because there was enough air left in the bottle and when the guy in China opened it the snake bit him on the lip.

PenguinOfMetal · 11 months

Hey, this is common in Mexico. You can find hundreds of street vendors selling these all along the highway in a place called Tequila (The liquor is named after the town's name).

I had a sip of this stuff in Japan. It wasn't a cobra, it was another type of the snake. Nevertheless, that shit was STRONG. Not for me.

Lao-Lao is the liquor inside and I can tell you it is strong. In Luang Prabang in Laos there was a guy who sold this stuff by the Mekong river but not in bottles instead he would give you a glass for about 70 cents of at least 70% alcohol. This stuff would come from a water cooler sized glass jar filled with snakes (probably 40-50 inside). Lets just say once I met that guy the rest of the night was crazy.

Was I the only one whose first thought was "why were you googling 'snake in a can?'"

iheartrms · 11 months

I have purchased some of this stuff for relatives in the US while on my many business trips to Vietnam. Weird/crazy gift. Always deathly afraid of the bottle breaking in the suitcase. I have seen it in Tijuana too but in a big jug in a restaurant for drinking (I know because someone ordered it and they brought the big jug out), not in individual bottles like this. Yes, I've seen some wild shit.

LastStickOfDynamite · 11 months

At least they're upfront about their snake oil in SE Asia. In America we brand it and market it as power bracelets.

urmyheartBeatStopR · 11 months

Vietnamese have those, it's cobra wine! Zimmerman, that one fat dude, show case this during the Vietnam episode. He didn't drink it though because he's was an alcoholic.

shanbrosal · 11 months

I've drank that, twice. Never again.

HeyLisn · 11 months

Looks like it might be snake soju, which is a tradition among older Koreans: Hunt and capture a snake, put it in a bottle of Soju (Korean booze, tastes roughly like watered down vodka), wait 10-20 years, drink.
