Oh The Humanity

 So my 40 liter plastic tub of discards was full, and I thought to myself that I would get a 50 liter Carboy bottle to use next.  Found one a few months back and started filling it. Very carefully mind you. I put a crimped bottom cardboard tube down the hole and filled the tube, then gently pull the tube up to release the crimp. Marbles slowly flow out. Took some time to do but the mound of boxes and bags of homeless discards is gone and I have a cool looking half filled bottle.

 Then out of the blue this happens. We were just sitting there and heard a crack noise and a few marbles hit the floor. I managed to drag it out of the corner but the crack spread big time. It weighs a lot. I also managed to pluck another bit off under the original hole so some could flow out. What a pain in the ass!

The weight just gets to be too much over time.  I have also filled 2 different giant monster glass bottles that broke "by themself" just sitting there days after they were filled.
