Ten bets you’ll never lose

If you spend a lot of time in bars, you’ve probably seen some of these bets before, but if you haven’t…

The tomato in a glass bit is pretty clever. My favorite bet of this type is seeing who can empty a 2-liter bottle faster. The trick is to swirl the water to create a vortex in the bottle. That way, the air can quickly enter the bottle through the middle of the vortex while the water shoots out around the edge…no slow glug glug glug. (via ★interesting)
