What is a Bologna bottle?
Original: Bologna Bottle
A Bologna bottle is a glass bottle with unusual properties: it can withstand being filled with water or used as a hammer, yet a small drop of material inside makes it shatter instantly. The glass is rapidly cooled during manufacture, leaving surface compression that holds it together until disturbed. It is often cited as a classic demonstration of tempered glass behaviour.
Why now: The odd physics of a bottle that can hammer nails yet shatter from a small internal impact makes it a popular curiosity to share and discuss.
