The Fastest Way to Empty a Bottle | Everyday Awesome

Have you ever found yourself frustrated by the slow process of emptying a bottle? Alex Dainis has taken on the challenge to determine the fastest way to empty a soda bottle.
She experiments with different methods: inverting the bottle, swirling its contents, using a straw, and even cutting a hole in the bottom.
But what's the science behind it all? Alex breaks down the mechanics, unveils the secrets of air flow, and discovers the method is the quickest.

Swirl is by far the best option, fast, easy, doesn't damage the bottle, and doesn't need extra tools, absolutely no down sides

[@sopalen]

yep, but she failed. She does not seem to understand how it works.

[@Astrocat-od5cy]

​@sopalen how did she fail? I don't understand

[@lightning423]

I always just... At an angle. Air goes in through the top half of the hole and the water flows out the bottom

[@mikhaillvov6892]

It's actually the slowest method of all, because you don't use the whole opening to its maximum capacity. Iirc

[@yes_iam_bather]

what do you think happens when you use a straw or swirl it?​@@mikhaillvov6892

[@ardonjr]

I always swirl bottles that I need to empty.. it's not hard at all. Just make a single hard swirl and voila: vortex

[@stevenspencer5948]

I repetitively squeeze the bottle, ejecting large quantities of fluid between bottle-mouth-air-gulps, as I would can them, if we don't have a fancy scientific name for that action.

[@irteza84]

A problem that never existed in my mind before. Now it does !

[@wmfwoodworking]

If I had to guess I think a hole in the bottom of the bottle that is the same diameter or larger than the opening that the water is coming out of would facilitate the quickest flow of water. Fun stuff. I love your content so far!❤❤

[@feelthevern26]

The shape of the bottle!! Test test test!

[@shauas4224]

turn the bottle upside down while not letting water to flow out and give it a good shake(up and down), then let the water flow. by far the fastest from what I tested

[@museumofscience]

What everyday challenge would you love to see us tackle next?

[@Daveeeeeeyhowyoudoing]

You didn't even successfully create a vortex. Maybe don't push out content if you can't do said task. Lazy RUclips content tbh

[@LiquidPepsiCan]

How do you have a hard time swirling the bottle?

[@pooroldnostradamus]

Heavy bottle

[@mhingankar2]

What about a bottle with two sided opening with a cap/lid on both sides?

[@Bone220]

That's why you just angle the bottle, don't put it upside down at all.
You need to keep the air gap.

[@AzNightmare]

*That's slower than all the other methods besides the first one.*

[@zacsattackable]

The boys ‘whirlpool it’🎉

[@a.d.leerentveld8980]

Swirling gets easier when the bottle is more rigid.

[@riduck]

Missed the hydraulic method, just crushing it like a toothpaste tube
No vacuum, no air transfer required.

[@rotaruiulian]

Wait, you thought about cutting the bottle, but not squeezing the bottle?

[@sallykirby4907]

Tip the bottle more on it's side!

[@kaing5074]

Why on earth was the bottle deformed

[@towerofresonance4877]

She got angry

[@420sakura1]

Cutting a hole. Beakman already did it

[@museumofscience]

But then you're unable to reuse your plastic bottle!

[@michellecornum5856]

Laying it on its side then gradually tipping it up.

[@zobanpreetsidhu3746]

Swirling with a straw is more efficient, don’t ask me how I know that

[@ramnarayanmishra1310]

When you will blow air into the straw it will be faster.

[@Leland-y1d]

squeezing is the correct answer

[@joeslinky]

Actually the correct answer is the straw, but blowing in the other end. So you push all the water out with your lungs

[@Leland-y1d]

@@joeslinky Nope. It is scientific fact that a squeezed bottle will expel its contents faster than a bottle with a straw. If you dont believe me then I will laugh at your ketchup bottle with a straw in it.

[@digitalknight5227]

So why would you wanna do this anyway?

[@fireinfused9142]

Straw

[@laurendoe168]

Next... I'd use a non-newtonian liquid.

[@Tala-zn2xq]

A vacuum would empty it the fastest

[@aashrithak]

I think side ways

[@mrdanger4851]

50cal

[@fwgigan7848]

Stab until water comes out fast

[@foreverrockinout]

Why couldn’t my science teach look as cute as her? 😂🤷🏽‍♂️
