However, the plastic that lemonade bottles are made of is soluble in petrol and similar solvents; if you rub petrol onto one you can feel a stickiness build up under your finger.

Save it (preferably in a petrol-proof bottle) for gbutting wasps, lighting fires and giving to kids on those illegal mini-scooter or mini-motorbike things. BTW, if you try the latter, add a touch of parafin to the mix; it makes the engines smoke like a chimney as well as eventually dying of plastic clogging.
