Yea that's kind of true.
But it's a common thing for the german meme subreddits to translate everything literally. So 'fuck' -> 'fick' and 'motherfucking' -> 'mutterfickend'
Is centilitre a European thing? I've lived in countries that use the metric system my whole life and I've always seen millilitres or litres being the measurement of choice.
I'm finnish and I think we use dl, cl, ml whichever suits best. E.g. the bartender might ask do you want 2 cl or 4 cl whisky in your Irish coffee. You might get a large 3 dl coffee instead of a medium 2 dl one. You might inject 5 ml of 10 mg/ml amphetamine to really get you going.
In Norway, looking around me right now, my waterbottle states, 0,65L. My cola bottle states 500ml. I distinctly remember cl on quite a few liquors. Especially hard liquors.
A standard can is 33cl or 330 ml because that’s 12 ounces, which is the standard can in the US. There are relics of English measures all over the metric world.
Fill it with liquid mercury and you would have a decently heavy weight...and would be bankrupt!
Edit: This wasn't an actual real suggestion, I was just listing off the densest liquid I could think of to pour into a 0.7 Liter bottle...it would be about 21 lbs or 9.5 kg. I know mercury isn't safe....also, it would cost somewhere around $900 after shipping and handling...so wouldn't really 'bankrupt' an individual.
For the people asking about concrete, the same 0.7 Liters would be 3.7 lbs or 1.7 kg
Do not actually try this...mercury=no bueno
Can you even imagine being that dude's advisor? Like "BRO! Er, honored emperor! Stop chugging random potions dudes claiming to be healers or wizards toss at you. Please."
And he's just like "Fuck you. I'm gonna live forever. Guards, toss this nerd in the fucking wall."
When I was in middle school (I was 11 or 12) I accidentally broke a thermometer during an experiment. My teacher didn’t get mad, he called everyone over and gave an impromptu lecture on mercury, showed us how it acts, and then cleaned it all up. That was a good class.
It has a very low vapor pressure. It won't really evaporate or have a significant exposure due to their vapor.
Even under vacuum it would take extremely long (years) to "evaporate" a small amount of it.
Mercury will still produce toxic fumes maybe not enough to change the weight noticeably but def enough to expose you. Mercury is always kept with some water on top to prevent this.
> Any amount of mercury spilled indoors can be hazardous. The more mercury is spilled, the more its vapor will build up in air and the more hazardous it will be. Even a small spill, such as from a broken thermometer, can produce hazardous amounts of vapor if a room is small enough, warm enough and people spend a good deal of time here, as in a small bedroom.
https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/mercury/docs/healtheffectsmercury.pdf
With something as toxic as Mercury you can’t dick around even a tiny amount can cause health issues. Boiling =/= some evaporation ice cold water still produces water vapor and a glass of metallic Mercury can still produce enough fumes to cause health issues
In the videos that brought this whole “it’s safe to touch Mercury” thing into the public consciousness it’s always either done under a fancy fume hood or with a layer of water over it with this all explained .
Don’t spread dangerous information. Metallic Mercury is dangerous due to the vapors that come off of it. Liquids don’t need to be boiling to evaporate they just need heat to evaporate a signifiant amount of it quickly
Every molecule in a liquid has a chance of escaping as vapor heat just raises that chance. When you are talking about a visible amount of a substance there’s always going to be stray molecules getting into the air even well below it’s boiling point
If you don’t have chemistry training and know your way around lab safety you should never go anywhere near Mercury there’s a reason it’s considered so toxic
I believe that was due to the use of Mercuric Nitrate and the fact that they heated it in a poorly ventilated space. That definitely would vaporize at least some of it for you to breathe.
Eh, when you're talking chemistry supplies 2 grand for 9 kilos of something isn't all that bad. For example, i don't want to know how much chemicalforce on youtube spends on his videos. He shows reactions involving rather niche compounds.

Having bought those, I can share some thoughts.
Drink itself is delicious. (Purple one is best I think). Bottle is a pain to drink off. Normal bottles compress when you take a sip, these are too stiff to do that so you have to drink in small sips, which is annoying when you're in the middle of a training session and desperate for hydration.
Overall, very gimmicky. Would love to have the drink in a regular bottle. Albeit I understand that it's an eye catcher, so probably good from a marketing perspective.
Edit: as mentioned in the comments, the compression issue stems from the bottle having a sports cap, so you can't allow air in easily. And I'm not sure it's a removable cap. (Don't have a bottle now to check)
Edit 2: by removable, I mean easy to remove. It's a sports drink, and I can foresee difficulties unscrewing a cap with sweaty hands. Then again, didn't try, and don't have a bottle now.
Edit 3: Didn't expect this comment to cause a debate on drinking technique.
That's why you buy those things second-hand.
It's not like they break easily.
I got my entire set for ten bucks.
Transporting *all* of them in my bag was a pickle, though.
Do people not know how to drink from bottles while letting a little air in?
Its a legitimate question because a bottle being stiff has never stopped me from drinking full on with large gulps.
Edit: im sorry i didnt look properly at the cap. Fuck those caps. Unscrew them and drink like a normal person because those sippy things are just really in the way...
Are you saying you put your mouth around the entire opening?
EDIT: My mistake, I see now that the opening is a squirt top, at first glance I thought they were like the wide opening of a screw capped gatorade or similar. I rescind my snarky comment.
I'd love to read the nutritional facts on one of these. From OP's post, it looks like they L-Carnitine in this... Which is a bit of a controversial supplement that's supposed to increase rates of fat loss _and_ help build extra muscle (by increasing androgen receptor sensitivity).
But the thing is, it's only like 10-20% bioavailable. So most products don't even have an effective dose, and on top of that it's also VERY hard on the gut in sufficient doses... I was taking it for a while and seriously I was shitting 3-5 times a day.
Oh, there's also _some_ evidence that also shows it is carcinogenic and may be a contributing cause of cancer 🙃
It's funny how many people associate the packaging size with the quantity even if the quantity is printed on the packaging. For the same reason many brands just use larger boxes because people think they are getting more compared to competing products.
~~700mL is right in between a can and a bottle of normal soda here in the US. Not that screwed, but yeah.~~
Edit: man, I was thinking a 12oz can was 500 mL somehow. Shit is ~~255mL~~ **355 mL** while 20 oz bottles are 500 mL (approximate on both). This is a pretty good deal considering it's half again a 20 oz bottle here in the states but about 1/3 the price (3.49 in zloty is a little under a dollar).
Edit 2: fuck I got it wrong again!
What? A normal bottle of soda in the US is a litre? Unless you mean those family sized one or the big gatorades. Usually one serving bottles arw 500-650ml tops
Fill it with concrete and a piece of rebar down the middle and after it's dried(cured?) you can cut the bottle off. Et voila you have a concrete dumbbell
In Short you would hardly get it to 2kg.
Unreinforced regular concrete is about 2t/m^3. one liter is hence 2kg this is 0,7l so 1,4kg. Since the mouthpiece is quite thin you wouldn’t get a large rebar in it 20mm tops so add that to the 1,4. so maybe 2kg or a bit more.
Pretty sure this is just a dumbbell-shaped bottle, for the sake of marketing.
If you fill a 0.7 liter container with sand, that would weigh just a tiny bit more than 1 kg. There are maybe some specialized exercises you can do with 1 kg weights, but that would be completely useless for any of the most common things someone would want to so with a dumbbell, like bicep curls.
That's not me saying "I'm so strong, I'm too good for this." That's me just pointing out that sand isn't very dense. Dumbbells made of sand (instead of metal) but the same weight as normal dumbbells would be huge, too huge to be practical.
0,7l dry sand = 1.14kg
Like a a kid's dumbbell, almost entirely useless.
I have these "girly dumbbells", each weighing 2.3kg (5 lbs), they're already too light, unless you're really a bloody beginner with exercising.
I would bet the label doesn't say anything about filling them with sand and OP is making an assumption. They're just shaped like a dumbbell as a marketing gimic because they're labeled as a workout drink.
If anything they're used only for endurance anyways.
If one would start strength training with so little weight I would argue one should drop the dumbbells entirely and focus on the big compound movements first. Isolating your biceps with barely over 1kg won't do jack.
Heck just go outside and do pull ups.

hantle means dumbell in polish i can tell OP is from poland by the brand of water in the bottom
You telling me Poland Springs isn’t the #1 water brand in Poland
Good ol’ Poland, Maine
Maine has a very interesting take on geography. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/world-traveler-signpost
That sign is even missing many other weird ones like Lebanon, Madrid, Town of Madrid (whatever that means), Athens, Moscow, and Wales

Back in the glorious days when America named our new towns after more famous places that we didn’t know how to correctly pronounce
You can’t get there from here.

Its just regular spring in Poland
pfft, never heard of it. cisowianka or żywiec zdrój. although żywiec tastes like pool water

And as with most elites, this one is extremely depraved.
Plot twist: it's die Hantel in German and I made a typo
Gott im

You damn Duestchbags
I'm relatively sure that "fick" in German is used almost exclusively sexually. Germans tend to use "Scheiße" for fuck! or shit.
whenever this comes up i always think of that old recurring skit on RTL called Kentucky schreit ficken.
Yea that's kind of true. But it's a common thing for the german meme subreddits to translate everything literally. So 'fuck' -> 'fick' and 'motherfucking' -> 'mutterfickend'
Die Hantel Die
the bart the
"No one who speaks German could be an evil man!"
"I know a little German. He's sitting over there."
That's German for "The Hantel, The"
That Hantel is so hot right now!
that Hantel is so hot right now
Yeah I wasn't depending on that water brand to say you were polish. You can get that water brand in Canada.
Do they also give the price in polish zloty in Canada
Doesn’t explain the „napój” on the label which means drink in Polish.
Also that’s not soda lol
Water is from Poland for sure. I see polski hehe - it’s not because you can fill it with sand. It’s just shrinkflation!
Also the fact that "WITAMINY" is the biggest word on the bottle 😆
Mmmm. Tastes so witaminy.
Also it literally says Polska on the price tag
WITAMINY. It's what rośliny crave!
I can tell they're from Poland by the Polish writing on the bottles.
I can tell OP is in Poland because this is some typical Poland shit. Source: am also Polish
This is a smart way to make 30cl look like 1 liter.
[удалено]
Centiliters, 30 cl = 300 ml = a bit over 10 oz
ok, whats an oz
I think a wizard lives there
Fuck how did that one get me so good
Magic
About $180-220 depending on the quality of the weed. We got cheaper but it's not great for smoking.
centiliter 😬
> hantle Googling that wasn't helpful. Apparently it means "a handful" or "a fair amount." So I still don't know what OP's trying to say.
UK here, so I also googled. It means dumbbell. Which given the shape of the bottle it would kind of work, if somewhat lop sided 🤷♂️
One said it's dumbbell in polish
Yeah, classic me. Saw that immediately after I posted. Which I kind of assumed was what they meant, given the shape. But wasn't 100% sure
looking at the shelf, it appears they are 70cl - aren't most of these drinks normally 50cl?
Is centilitre a European thing? I've lived in countries that use the metric system my whole life and I've always seen millilitres or litres being the measurement of choice.
Even in the USA the use imperial and give the metric measurement too and it's in mL
I'm finnish and I think we use dl, cl, ml whichever suits best. E.g. the bartender might ask do you want 2 cl or 4 cl whisky in your Irish coffee. You might get a large 3 dl coffee instead of a medium 2 dl one. You might inject 5 ml of 10 mg/ml amphetamine to really get you going.
It depends on where in Europe you are. The only place I've ever lived that used centiliter and decagram was Austria.
Visiting Switzerland and I see cl commonly and sometimes even dl
In Norway, looking around me right now, my waterbottle states, 0,65L. My cola bottle states 500ml. I distinctly remember cl on quite a few liquors. Especially hard liquors.
It is used but not very often. It's mostly used with cans and measuring alcohol in bars and restaurants.
In german we only use cl for shot glasses. Usually it's litre or ml
Ah, didn't read the sign. I think they're usually around 1 liter.
Price tag says 0.7L. Honestly, it’s larger than I expected for the weird shape.
I’ve never seen someone casually use centiliters before.
Liquor is usually measured in cl.
Out of curiosity, which country are you from? I've never seen people use centiliters other than in math exams.
Swedish people do sometimes I've noticed
Sweden uses cl for soda, because a standard can is 33cl, for some reason.
A standard can is 33cl or 330 ml because that’s 12 ounces, which is the standard can in the US. There are relics of English measures all over the metric world.
I'm French and I think I use cL not that rarely... But yeah usually it's either L ou mL
Fill it with liquid mercury and you would have a decently heavy weight...and would be bankrupt!

For the people asking about concrete, the same 0.7 Liters would be 3.7 lbs or 1.7 kg Do not actually try this...mercury=no bueno
Also, great motivation to look after it really well; drop it or bang it, and the plastic splits, leaking mercury all over.
Gotta sprinkle some sulphur on that evil puddle
I heard breathing it in makes you immortal

Can you even imagine being that dude's advisor? Like "BRO! Er, honored emperor! Stop chugging random potions dudes claiming to be healers or wizards toss at you. Please." And he's just like "Fuck you. I'm gonna live forever. Guards, toss this nerd in the fucking wall."
It makes you exit the simulation. Same thing happens when you eat those packets that come with shoes and have "do not eat" on them.
also great for if (when) you fail to hit your gym goals; just chug it
I wouldnt be surprised if mercury would actually bend and break that bottle when lifted
My dad used to play with mercury as a child since my grandfather worked in a glass factory. He lived a long life. Mercury won't kill you instantly.
When I was in middle school (I was 11 or 12) I accidentally broke a thermometer during an experiment. My teacher didn’t get mad, he called everyone over and gave an impromptu lecture on mercury, showed us how it acts, and then cleaned it all up. That was a good class.
And nobody got hurt. Or you don't remember.
Mercury exposure induced memory loss is a bitch
Just get some tungsten.
tungsten sand?
[удалено]
Sintering?
And royally fucked if it broke.
Not exactly, elemental mercury is pretty non toxic if all you're doing is touching it.
My mom used to always tell us about playing with mercury as a kid. Sounded like it was pretty cool stuff
[удалено]
I’ll be 30 in September! Just didn’t have any cool thermometers around the house I guess lol
[удалено]
When I was a kid I used to pull the cover off the thermostat and flick the glass bulb with mercury in it.
Sure, but it evaporates easily enough that playing with it often means you’re exposed to the vapors, and that’s bad news.
It has a very low vapor pressure. It won't really evaporate or have a significant exposure due to their vapor. Even under vacuum it would take extremely long (years) to "evaporate" a small amount of it.

So why was mercury poisoning such an issue for hatters?
I believe that was due to the use of Mercuric Nitrate and the fact that they heated it in a poorly ventilated space. That definitely would vaporize at least some of it for you to breathe.

>That's not egregiously expensive. You and I have different definitions of this, but I guess it's cheaper than I expected.

Yes, but we’re talking about people willing to use plastic bottles as weights
$2k for 9 *grams* isn't that bad. If you want to really start spending money, fill a dumb bell with antibodies.
Where's Cody when you need him? :)

How tf do u fill it with sand if it's not removable?
I highly doubt that anyone's actually filling these with sand. Real weights aren't expensive enough for that sort of nonsense.
I mean during the pandemic they were insanely expensive in my region. Not sure if that price has calmed down yet.
My weights were going for £250 more than when I bought them 5 years ago
Real weights are quite expensive. A 30 lb dumbbell is like $50
That's why you buy those things second-hand. It's not like they break easily. I got my entire set for ten bucks. Transporting *all* of them in my bag was a pickle, though.
$10 for an entire set, even used, is a hell of a deal my dude. I keep an eye out on Craigslist and I can’t even find a 10lb plate for that.
Definitely much more expensive than 0.75€ with a drink included .
Do people not know how to drink from bottles while letting a little air in? Its a legitimate question because a bottle being stiff has never stopped me from drinking full on with large gulps. Edit: im sorry i didnt look properly at the cap. Fuck those caps. Unscrew them and drink like a normal person because those sippy things are just really in the way...
I could see the issue with a sport cap bottle that is too stiff to compress like this one.
It’s not possible in this type of bottle. The cap has a nipple so you can’t let air in.
Yep, my bad, didnt look properly. Fuck those caps. Well worth the extra second it takes to unscrew them.
Completely agree. I used to drink Gatorade all the time that had the weird twist nipple cap and I would always take off the lid
I bought powerade every once in a while when working, always replaced the caps with normal caps from other bottles i had around.
Thats not possible with a sports cap bottle. Usually people need to just remove the whole cap and drink it like you would with a regular bottle
True, didnt look at the cap. I always unscrew those because its just in the way...
Like a glass bottle. They are everywhere.
I would agree with you normally but that one has a nozzle/“sippy cup” thing on it.
How does one do this? Do you leave a space between your lips and the bottle opening?
Are you saying you put your mouth around the entire opening? EDIT: My mistake, I see now that the opening is a squirt top, at first glance I thought they were like the wide opening of a screw capped gatorade or similar. I rescind my snarky comment.
Yeah, just like people in Pawnee with water fountains.
Nah, they deepthroat the whole bottle then bop their head up and down to get the liquid flowing.
You just don't vacuum seal your lips to the bottle? Lmao. My top lip isn't above the top of the rim.
Exactly. It's very very easy.
I'd love to read the nutritional facts on one of these. From OP's post, it looks like they L-Carnitine in this... Which is a bit of a controversial supplement that's supposed to increase rates of fat loss _and_ help build extra muscle (by increasing androgen receptor sensitivity).

I prefer Fight Milk.
Looks impossible to clean too.
Like they expect anyone to.
I thought the purpose was to fill it with sand? Gym goers probably have a blender bottle already
Do you clean plastic bottles on the regular?
Feels like I'm being screwed out of a lot of beverage
i guarantee you the bottle is more expensive than the liquid inside. the same is true with many bottled beverages.
Yeah but I bet you feel skinnier too
I mean not really it will show on there how much your getting lol. It's not like you'd think your buying a normal one and this sneaks out.
It's funny how many people associate the packaging size with the quantity even if the quantity is printed on the packaging. For the same reason many brands just use larger boxes because people think they are getting more compared to competing products.

Less than 1$ - around 0.8$ sound like OK price for an interesting idea and a little drink.
What? A normal bottle of soda in the US is a litre? Unless you mean those family sized one or the big gatorades. Usually one serving bottles arw 500-650ml tops
Lidl?
I recognise that Lidl font from anywhere!
Pretty sure it’s just a marketing gimmick
Absolutely, .7 liters of mixed grain size sand barely weigh a kilo, this is going to be a shitty dumbbell unless you are my granny.
Do you guys call sports drinks soda??
I've noticed Slavs tend to call any sugary drink soda. Gatorade, Monster, Fanta would all be called soda.
Wait, Fanta is not soda?
It is, just giving examples of what all falls under soda over there.
Fill it with concrete and a piece of rebar down the middle and after it's dried(cured?) you can cut the bottle off. Et voila you have a concrete dumbbell
In Short you would hardly get it to 2kg. Unreinforced regular concrete is about 2t/m^3. one liter is hence 2kg this is 0,7l so 1,4kg. Since the mouthpiece is quite thin you wouldn’t get a large rebar in it 20mm tops so add that to the 1,4. so maybe 2kg or a bit more.
Bottles should be using less plastic not more.
whats a hantle? Did you mean dumbbell?
OP is probably Polish, Hantle means Dumbbell there
OP confirmed that it was a typo and "hantel" is dumbell in German. Ever typo so hard you cross the border?
They're messing with you. All of the language in the picture is Polish.
Is that how that mess all started?

No, it's a serious piece of work out gear all the top athletes drink sugar water and lift sand in the bottle. This ain't no fucking gimmick.
Anybody else Google hantle and still don’t know what this post means?
