  • There used to be a show called Street Cents on CBC that focused on consumer and media awareness. On one episode, they torture tested Nalgene bottles.

    It’s been a while but if I’m remembering right, I watched them survive:

    • being thrown off a building
    • being run over by a bulldozer
    • being dipped in liquid nitrogen and hit with a hammer
    • being heated with a blow torch

    The lids broke in some of the tests, especially if they had liquid in them, but the bottles themselves are basically indestructible.

    I’ve seen a knock-off bottle break when somebody set a backpack down on it too hard.
