This trick requires little resources, little work on the user's part making it family-friendly (minus the sharp piercing tool) and hilarious when someone automatically disobeys the "DO NOT OPEN" sign creating laughs for the victim and the practical joker, and the creation is completely recyclable (you can drink the water and recycle the plastic bottle) which makes it Eco-friendly as well.

Overall it's a four due to:

-Little work, maximum entertainment
-Family Friendly (mostly)
-Recyclable
-Quenches one's thirst
-Can teach us about science
-Discreet and not really suspicious, minus the curiously placed "DO NOT OPEN" on the front of it

Thanks for creating this video, I might prank friends or family with it sometime! Great work and keep it up Steve!
