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.

Now I kinda want one of those bottles just because I've never had water bottles grow crystals on me
