I did this as a kid with a syrup bottle. I had thoroughly cleaned it out and kept refilling it with water.

She’s not lying. The looks on others’ faces each time you take a drink are priceless :)

I remember in school a friend drank out of a glass vodka bottle. He was always so nonchalant about it too hah

[-] NoneYa@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Reminds me of my best friend bringing a tequila lollipop with a worm in the middle 😝

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

How did you manage to clean out all the syrup

[-] NoneYa@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

Dish soap and warm water and just keep swishing it around. Also using a brush, specifically a skinny brush for a bottle. But many syrup bottles have that little handle which can be hard to get to but the warm water and dish soap help to get in there when you swish it around for a while and rinse a few times.

[-] Proxima_Centauri11@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I recommend filling up the bottle about 1/3 to 1/2 full with a good ratio of dish soap to water, capping it, then shaking vigorously! That usually dislodges anything hard to reach, especially like those handle areas.

Add salt to the mix and then you don't even need to use a brush.

Salt + water + dish soap, close the bottle, shake, rinse.

Wait, it's weird to eat mayo out of the tub? Is it also weird to eat mayo packets as well? Asking for a friend

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I mean, it's all food so, no? But also: yes.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Yes. And, since this is a hypothetical and you don’t do it, I can be honest with you: it’s a vile act akin to genocide and may god have mercy on your soul. Or whosever soul would do such a thing.

I knew a guy who would drink Windex Gatorade in college. He also often drank water from an opaque chocolate milk gallon jug.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Reminds me of a story from high school where a teacher claimed some chemistry teacher cleaned a beaker out really well to use it as a coffee mug and ended up collapsing or something one day. Hope Mr. Windexorade is healthy.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

I've done the mayonnaise jar trick and it was glorious. If you can get it, jello white chocolate pudding is a perfect color match to mayonnaise.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Thank you, you who are so wise in the culinary clown arts

Methylated spirits, aka denatured alcohol in former commonwealth

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

If in the US or Mexico you could swap it out for a Fabuloso (floor cleaner) bottle, but it looks so much like juice anyway most people wouldn't notice. And you're never going to get the Fabuloso smell/taste out of that bottle. It's like 98% fragrance, 2% cleaner.

It's what meth dealers sell meth in.

[-] smotherlove@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Alcohol + nasty shit so you dont drink it

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No idea. Definitely not where I store my meth

I was in the Boy Scouts when I was a kid. Camping stoves attach to little portable propane tanks - I had a 'large' one that was about 1 liter total volume.

On a campout, I managed to break my water bottle, and about 15 mins after that I ran out of propane.

Used the pliers in my multitool to pop the valve off the opening (still had an outer lid that screwed on when not in use - made a surprisingly good seal).

Cleaned it out really thoroughly, and that was my new water bottle for a good year or so.

The looks of horror were pretty great.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 23 points 4 months ago

That's great, haha.

[-] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 months ago

Well it is Hershey's, what did she expect.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 21 points 4 months ago

It works better if it's a mayo bottle.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 4 months ago

Sunscreen. That would be even worse.

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 4 months ago

It gets you all euuugghhhh

My friend forgot to bring a water bottle when we stayed at his parent's cabin so he attempted to clean a small bottle of vegetable oil to bring on a hike instead

He vomited later that night

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

a small bottle of vegetable

Was 'vegetable' intended to be an adjective for an omitted word here? I can't think of many vegetables which come in bottles...

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Vegetable oil*

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That was the jar of poisoned vegetables, what kind of jabroni doesn't know that?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

It was given to them by some queen dressed as a witch

[-] CyberDine@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

I too am full of microplastics

[-] Hootz@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

The only downside is how badly these bottles seal when using thin liquids

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I used an empty wiper fluid bottle as s drinking bottle in a party. It wasn't the best idea since people were worried I was chugging denatured ethanol neat and getting an alcohol poisoning.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

people were worried I was chugging denatured ethanol

Most windshield wiper fluid contains methanol, not ethanol. Methanol is much more toxic than ethanol. A few milliliters can cause permanent blindness, and a few more can be fatal.

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Those are illegal to sell here. Proper alcoholics here used to drink the strongly denatured ethanol based windshield wiper fluids, but now they prefer the less strongly denatured hand sanitizers.

[-] peyotecosmico@programming.dev 8 points 4 months ago

Once a guy brought a 2 liter coke to the gym, gotta admit that was tempting

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago

Also a good idea to use vodka bottle for water in the office

[-] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

I read Genuine as Guinness at first and was suddenly very interested in Hershey syrup

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 4 months ago

If you see me guzzling down the pickle juice, I assure you: it's pickle juice not water. Mmm... Pickle juice... 🤤

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Man, that can not be good for you in large quantities. Better share some with me just in case.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

You guys really love vinegar, don't you?

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 6 points 4 months ago

At ugly sweater parties I put my cocktails into a syrup bottle and dress like an Elf 🙂

[-] macrocarpa@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I used to head to the local pool before work to do a few laps. There was a dude in his fifties who would do about 150 laps (4km /2.5mi) drinking regularly from a masterfoods tomato sauce bottle

(it was filled with water)

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I saw a YouTube video years ago where someone replaced the mayo in a mayonnaise jar with vanilla pudding and then went out in public to eat it. The looks they got were hilarious.
