Comment on Tethered Bottle Caps
qevlarr@lemmy.world 4 days agoHave you ever heard about the Exota affair in the Netherlands? In 1969, journalists uncovered the glass bottles of Exota soda were explosion hazards and their scathing TV episode about it drove the company to bankruptcy. It became a whole ordeal after the journalists and broadcaster were sued.

I think what I saw was the full version of this segment: youtu.be/Z9PM14qKhe4 Although, I think it may have been about the 1.5L/2L bottle as well, and this video is about the dangerous bottles that remained after a bunch of them got off the market.
The shots in the video you linked seem rather fake (and kind of artsy, I love old Dutch television sometimes), the video I recall had bottles treated rather normally.
