# Habos Babos Habos Babos is a Hungarian TikTok trend where creator @norman_patzek bounces glass bottles off the ground and catches them mid-air while mumbling the whistling phrase 'habos babos.' The bit blew up in mid-2024 and inspired copycats who often shatter bottles trying to replicate the rebound. ## Overview Habos Babos, sometimes stylized Habosh Babosh, is a Hungarian TikTok bottle-bouncing bit from creator @norman_patzek[1]. In the signature clip he grabs a bottle of Kőbányai beer, mumbles 'habos babos' with his S sounds whistling, slams the bottle into the ground so it rebounds back into his hand, then flings it away[2]. The phrase roughly translates as 'frothy beans'[5]. The bit is instantly recognisable thanks to the exaggerated pronunciation, the specific Hungarian beer brand, and the physics-defying rebound catch. As the format spread, imitators either pulled off the bounce or spectacularly failed and smashed glass on the floor, which became half the fun for viewers[3]. ## How It Spread The bit started travelling off TikTok in autumn 2024. On October 4th, 2024, Instagram user @ibeatmyson_ reposted a failed attempt by an unknown creator, and the clip picked up more than 4.9 million views and 10,000 likes over the following six months[3]. Four days later a mirror landed on r/2visegrad4you and pulled roughly 750 upvotes in the same window[4]. TikTok user @szarlenboss ran the format on December 4th, 2024, successfully bouncing a Coca-Cola bottle inside a shop for about 6.7 million views over four months[6]. By early 2025 the trend was big enough to sustain compilation edits. On March 27th, 2025, @kebabaskibinas cut together five of the best 'habosh babosh' attempts and hit 18.4 million views in a fortnight[7]. A similar compilation by @tiktok_miix landed on April 12th and cleared 2 million views in two days[7]. ## How to Use The template is short and physical. Creators typically hold a full glass bottle, deliver the 'habos babos' line with a whistling S sound in imitation of Patzek, then throw the bottle at the ground and try to catch it on the rebound[1]. Common variants include swapping in different drinks like Coca-Cola or other beers, staging the toss inside a shop for extra stakes, or purposely smashing the bottle as a comedy failure[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Habos Babos?
