I'm assuming another unwritten rule is that there must be no trickery with the bottle itself?
I.e. no taking a "wide mouth" bottle, filling it with some stuff, then somehow heating/narrowing the bottle? (Perhaps that isn't physically possible anyway, without leaving visible evidence)
- noman-land 6y agoYes exactly. People's first guess is often (the very boring) "did you just glue the bottom of the bottle on? What?? No! Did you blow the glass around the baseball? Um, no. "Everything goes through the neck"
- aj7 6y agoOf course that’s what they do, in most cases. The real trick is to get your mind enrolled in the intricate fiction of how.
- ganafagol 6y agoThing is: it's not fiction.
- noman-land 6y agoI've personally made some of these and I can assure you the salsa jar came from a grocery store shelf. Everything goes through the neck. Gluing the glass back together would be so incredibly boring.
- sandworm101 6y agoThere is trickery. Note the imperfections in the glass. The distortions created by the glass mask imperfections in the contents. For instance, those rubrics cubes look well bent, like they have been stretch and partially disassembled.
- risos 6y agoI don't think those bottles have been altered in anyway, a lot of standard glass bottles will have imperfections in them that look like that, amplified by the thickness of the bottle itself. You don't see this with jars because they tend to be thinner than bottles. The rubik's cube inside a bottle is a fairly easy one, if you've ever seen a disassembled rubik's cube then you will clearly see that it's possible to just feed each piece in one at a time and put it back together with some tweezers and a lot of patience.
