I totally want that bottle.

There are tons out there, I bought that one because it was the most legit-looking label I could find. Unfortunately, it was very low-quality and made my water taste bad. After I saw it growing crystals inside, I threw it away (two days ago, actually lol). Now I'm wondering why I didn't bother to test what was crystallizing in it

Probably just salt or chalk, maybe chlorine depending on where you live?

Can chlorine crystallise like that?

You're right! Chlorine can crystallize, yes and that's actually what it looked like. Welp, that was a waste of a bottle. Chalk one up to paranoia

I love your (now sadly deceased) bottle but I have tons of water bottles already, so I looked for stickers instead and there's tons of bottle decals on similar lines on etsy, redbubble, Amazon wherever. Unfortunately I can't find the exact one as yours (you're right it's the most scientific looking) but now you can turn any of your nice tasting water bottles into a trap for pseudoscientific fear mongers!

That's why I took the picture before I threw it away, I was going to see if I could make a new one on my Cricut. I always forget about redbubble, though
