Popular Science on Ken Domon’s drinking feat

The blog for Popular Science magazine has an entry analyzing Ken Domon drinking the contents of a plastic bottle in less than five seconds on Food Battle Club. The blog believes he would not have been able to repeat the stunt using a glass bottle:

The plastic bottle is critical. If he were just holding it upside down, gravity would be doing most of the work, and that’s just not fast enough. Instead, he squeezes the plastic bottle, forcing half the water out. Next, he wisely pauses for a moment there in the middle of his chug, allowing air to creep up through the water and into the space between the new, lower water level and the interior bottom of the bottle.

    OR you can swirl the glass bottle, which would cause the water to pour out in a steady stream. Though the mess caused by doing that would probably keep it from being a realistic choice. Science!
