SUMMARY

A bologna bottle is a specialized glass bottle designed to withstand significant impact, capable of being used to pound nails. The manufacturing process involves a specific cooling technique where the exterior cools slowly while the interior cools rapidly. This method is crucial for achieving the desired durability and resistance to shattering. The discussion raises questions about the feasibility of converting a standard coke bottle into a bologna bottle, emphasizing the importance of proper cooling techniques.

A bologna bottle is a glass bottle that is hard enough to pound nails with, but if the inside is scratched the bottle shatters.
I know that the bottle is made by cooling the outside slowly and the inside quickly, but is this something anyone can do? how slowly does the outside have to cool and how quickly for the inside? can a coke bottle be turned into a bologna bottle?
