The masterful design of the two-liter plastic soda bottle

Bill Hammack of engineerguy explains the design of the two-liter plastic soda bottle, looking at how its shape and structure are suited to holding a carbonated drink and to being mass-produced.

HN people submitted it as a fine example of the design thinking hidden in an ordinary object, in the manner of Hammack's earlier video on the aluminum can.

Who is this guy? He has a very similar voice and delivery to Bill Hammack [1] (aka Bill the Engineer Guy of the famous aluminum beverage can video), but I don’t think it’s him. 1: ▶ this video
