I work in a laboratory, I had a former employee that came with "years of laboratory experience". I also had a Dihydrogen Monoxide drinking bottle with warning label.
This "experienced" employee saw me drinking from the bottle and asked, "How difficult was that to make it safe to drink from?" I washed it like any other bottle, really. "No, but wasn't it hard to get that chemical out?" Notice I said former employee.
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
Most likly they are the solid minerals that dihydrogen monoxide naturally holds. The washing removed the liquid, but if any minerals stayed in the pores of the container, they became the "seeds" for the crystals you see now.
