Plastic bottle

"This page refers mostly to the container when it is empty. For other uses, see the respective pages for the different liquids that can be carried in this container.""'Disposable water bottle. I can use it for more than just holding water though...' ""-Inventory Description (when empty)"

Description:
Before the outbreak, disposable plastic bottles were manufactured to be a common and cheap way to store drinking water in conveniently sized vessels for use. They're portable, lightweight, and versatile - even when they are empty they can serve a variety of purposes. They have came to be a staple item and valuable tool post-outbreak for their many uses.

'''When filled with any amount of a liquid, the name will change to add the liquid tag following the words "Plastic bottle". For example, if filled with gasoline, the name of the item displayed in the inventory will be "Plastic bottle (gasoline). This will remain until ALL of the liquid is gone and the bottle is empty again, and then the tag will be removed. The only exception of this rule is untreated water, which will contaminate the bottle and any water put inside it indefinitely until chemically treated.'''

Appearance:
A plastic half-liter bottle with a white label that says "Purified drinking water". On the label is also a satisfaction guarantee and the words "enhanced with minerals for taste".

Plastic bottles of drinking water can also be found in cases as a large item that can't be put in backpacks but can be carried in hands or in vehicles/transports. Opening a case will turn the case into a stationary container that yields 24 individual bottles.

Capacity:
Plastic bottles can hold up to 0.5 liters of any liquid.
