The number 88 holds significant meaning in Chinese culture, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Here’s why:
"8" Sounds Like "Wealth”
In Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation of "8" (bā) sounds very similar to the word "fā" (发), which means "to prosper" or "to make a fortune."
Double Prosperity
The repetition of "8" in "88" amplifies this symbolism, signifying double prosperity and abundance. This association has led to "88" being considered an extremely lucky number.
By incorporating "88" into the name "Prosperous 88," Boomchaz Kombucha taps into this deep-rooted cultural belief, inviting consumers to share in the promise of good fortune and prosperity during the Lunar New Year.
