how to turn a beer bottle into a glass

[radbag]

STEP1

Pick a brand with a sturdy but attractive bottle. (Try Grolsch or Darling Brew’s dumpie-style bottle. Corona’s also good, because the bottle is especially thick.) Tie a string tightly around the empty bottle just above the label.


STEP2

Slip the string off and soak it in lighter fluid. (Keep your fingers dry!)


STEP3

Put the string back on the bottle and light it. Hold the bottle horizontally and rotate it so the flame spreads. Wait to hear the bottle crack slightly, about 10 seconds.


STEP4

Pour cold water on the string. The top of the bottle will fall off.


STEP5

Sandpaper the edges until smooth.

I am skeptical.

Yeah, me too.

Always wanted to know how they shrank the corona bottles to make the little salt and pepper shakers.
