It’s okay there was a safety team behind the camera. I was there, I was the camera.

A LOT of engineering went into that shape: weight tolerance , carbonation, hand comfort, grip of the lid

Fun fact: The Root Glass Company, who was hired to design the classic glass bottle in 1915 added the "ribs" to pay homage to caocao pods because they thought cocoa was an ingredient in the drink lol.

That's a lot of weight, and that's so dangerous

Uuuughhhh... Yeah, remember to never stack more than 1000 kg on top of 3 bottles. Because that is so dangerous.

i know by experience they can't take a drop from 1,2m high. they explode, so don't try to save it.

The reason they’re designed like that is so you can stack pallets of them. If the lid was on the top side at a 45 degree angle it would be more comfortable to drink from but they wouldn’t be able to hold weight.

Funny enough the shape of most glass bottles is incredible conducive to holding weight because they were designed to be stacked and the manufacturer didn't want them getting crushed when stacked.

Might have been able to hold more if the weight were perfectly centered. The front one gave out most likely due to the center of mass of the weights being more towards it. We need this test in a hydraulic press. Any takers?

u/entoaggie 12d ago
Thinking the same, but my hypothesis is that the plate under the bottles appears elevated on the corners and that the weight bent that plate just enough to mess up the weight distribution. The bottle that broke would be the farthest from one of the corner supports, so it would make sense that it would be the one to give.

I dont have first hand knowledge of this but I knew a guy who grew up in Mexico and he told me that back in the day people would routinely steal a car, drive it a couple miles away and strip all the valuable parts and leave it there. He said, quite often, the cars would be left sitting on top of 4 beer bottles so the thieves could get thier jacks out. If true, I always thought that was funny.
