    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.

        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!
