I have this strange habit of stacking empty water bottles. I’ve managed to balance and stack up 4 bottles max to date. The round Aquagulf bottles are better than those square Rawdatain ones. The image to the right shows two bottles balanced on my wife’s knee. The stuff she has to put up with! I [...]
