A few years ago, we receive an email at work to inform us someone has died after drinking from an unlabeled plastic bottle that was filled with toxic chemicals.
Wow. What was it? Why did they drink it?
We attempted to reach out for comment, but they were dead.
I don't remember, I don't think they gave more information. I just know that the chemical should not have been in such bottle and it should not have been placed there. Maybe the victim just thought it was water.
I learned my lesson not to drink from strange bottles long ago. Thankfully it was because me and all my underage friends (hol up this was back when I was underage too! Haha) used to hide our vodka in water bottles, and on more than one occasion someone (once or twice me) would pick one up and take a huge swig mistaking it for water. Thankfully nobody died from that, but it felt like you were going to at the time!
