DeepSummary
Randy Scrubwammy enthusiastically promotes a revolutionary cleaning product called the 'scrubwammy' that can absorb liquid and clean up messes like barf. To demonstrate its effectiveness, he asks wildlife biologist Laura Kojima if snakes barf, and she explains that snakes regurgitate their prey when stressed or surprised by predators.
Laura provides details on the snake regurgitation process, noting that snakes swallow their prey whole and can later vomit it up undigested and sometimes still alive if threatened. This allows the snake to escape danger without expending energy on digesting the prey.
Randy reiterates that the scrubwammy can clean up even tough messes like snake barf and has multiple other uses like a bookmark or wall art. He urges listeners to subscribe to the podcast and check out other shows in the Brains On universe.

Throwing up isn’t fun, but it happens to everyone. Sometimes we vomit if we’re sick with a virus or an infection – and other times, it happens because we’re feeling dizzy or carsick. But do other animals barf too? Like snakes? We asked wildlife biologist Laura Kojima to help us find the answer.
