Netizens enquire and appreciate the product
“Can we clean these carriers like other utensils (liquid wash and water)?” asked a curious commenter. “Appreciate the fact that they're eco-friendly, known for their durability, and have the potential to support local artisans. Bamboos are perennial plants and they grow fast, so we shouldn't run the risk of depleting the resource,” wrote the second, supportive of the idea. “Support it. We were rich in these types of activities in the pre-independence era, retweet it again and again so that it reaches every Indian in India and the world,” motivated the third commenter.
