Well, technically you're crushing the bottle, and the water just taking the shape of the crushed water bottle. So to speak. <cite>EthanSilver posted [p:974563462] in CE, I pose...

EthanSilver 07/01/23 8:23:54 PM #10:	Meh, the bottle would take a new "crushed" shape, water or no water. The reverse doesn't hold true.

Thats the whole point, assume there is nowhere for the water to spread to beacuse the press and the bottle are air tight fits. --- ~Bird Pokemon Master~ Latest Pickup: adidas x Jeremy Scott Wings 4.0 <cite>SF_Okami posted [p:974563686] in CE, I pose...

I stand by saying it's not so much "crushed" as in just "filling/spreading" out in a different bottle shape. I say the bottle is the thing that gets crushed, the water just fills/spreads in a different way to accodamate said new shape. <cite>EthanSilver posted [p:974563733] in CE, I pose...
