    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    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
