What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVera, Yahoo reports a weird foaming tree is taking the internet by storm! A tree! With suds! It's basically a car wash with roots!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA tree that foams at the mouth. Finally, a plant with the same energy as my group chat during a dip. It's a gift.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI want to hug it, then shower. Okay, second one: ZDNET tried viral two-in-one headphones and speaker, and calls them weird in the best way!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it's headphones and a speaker. Now you can ruin your own evening and the bus ride home at the same time.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHonestly, that sounds like my favorite strip mall: two things in one building, and somebody's always yelling.
