"...The most effective bottle types are surprising because of the unlikely source but an obvious choice. The bottles are for a flavored imported mineral water typically consumed by assholes...."
Evian? Perrier?
I think that he was referring to Perrier, but obviously he didn’t want to incur the wrath of a large company.
The basic idea is a thin-walled glass bottle, one that will break with very great reliability (99%+) when thrown. Brand really isn’t important. Note that this article is fairly old but, of course, the laws of chemistry haven’t changed in the interim.
From near the end of the article:
“With this mixture of Qua of Oatmeal, Hi Octane gasoline, and a thin French bottles we were able to score impressive and effective blasts that would make any Revolutionary get all misty eyed.”
Perrier it is. Note that I’m not sure if they still use glass bottles. I think that Fiji does...but, again, thin and reasonably small appears to be the best for throwing “heroic freedom fighter distances.”
