Many years ago (like 20-30) when there was such a thing as a pop machine that dispensed drinks in bottles, Ohio St. U. had to remove the drink machines from the dorms. Seems one of the female residents decided to have a go at one empty bottle. Genteel person that she was, she went small end first. Unfortunately a vacumm was created in the bottle somewhere in the process and the bottle became unwilling to leave without more pain than she could handle. Bottle had to be removed at university hospital. Can machines were introduced shortly thereafter. No comment from the glass bottle industry. Perhaps the fellow who went wide end first had heard the story and wished to avoid that problem?
