“The threads on this device must be really tight.”

Yes.

Think about the coefficient of expansion difference between Aluminum or Stainless Steel and plastic?

You could do an experiment sealing one of the bottles with ice cold soft drinks. Put it in the sun, and the pressure will increase with temperatur and the dimensions of the plastic will change less than that of the metal.

It will go Pop.

Another thought.

I am pretty shure that the bottles are “made in China”.

I’m not saying we should kill all the stupid people. I’m saying we should remove all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out.

As much as I loathe Bette Midler these days, Ruthless People is still a guilty pleasure.

That has to be from Ruthless People “GIVE THE BAG TO BOZO”

No need to worry. Someone stupid enough to drink house paint isn’t going to pay attention to a warning label.

Joy Behar & a younger looking Bette Midler: separated at birth.

Midler is about 80 now.

Was the bottle plastic or metal?

I see a handle on it and a screw on cap. Getting injured from this sounds like those hospital ER stories where they remove something from someone’s butt who “accidentally” fell on it in the shower.

Hard acrylic plastic. Three sections, bonded with a glue. The glue won the battle of strength over the plastic.

Doesn’t take much. We’re in that time of year in Tucson where water bottles get pressurized just moving from inside (70 odd degrees) to out (many more than that) for an hour or so. I’ve had plenty of bike bottle showers from that. The lid shouldn’t become a projectile. Like another poster said, a little groove in the threads to relieve pressure with the lid still seated enough to not go flying will do.

So a moron puts milk or juice in there, and it ferments and builds up pressure and hurts the idiot when they open it? Unreal. Can’t wait to see what the new design is.

This is what happens when the gay folks drove scouting out of existence, and women's lib drove housewivery and women's magazines dedicated to housework and "home economics" out of business, and the globalists drove industrial work out of the country. None of the past three generations have learned practical lore, basic physics, biology and chemistry, nor survival skills. Why take STEM classes when they can just get a degree in alternate kink or "grievance studies" and "feel educated"?

It sounds like you described a pressurized sprayer, such as I use for insecticide.

Yes, we have one for weedicide. It builds up a lot of pressure. Thankfully it has a release valve -- that yellow button.

That picture looks like Justice Thomas and Tucker Carlson! What is it from, a movie?
