To those who squeeze single use water bottles (think Aquafina, Dasani, Sam’s Choice, etc.) - WHY? Is gravity not fast enough for you? Do you enjoy the crinkly noise? Why squeeze when it’s literally falling out of the bottle?

    • Not the person you asked, but at least the automatic deposit machines I know need them to be somewhat bottle-shaped and with a printed on code on the lable readable. But I still crush those, and blow into them afterwards, to get them roughly into shape, if I need to return them. But for single-use bottles as described in the OP post, crushing all the way.
