I wonder if there would be a way to make holding these easier. I have very small hands and I couldn't hold it without dropping it, I'm sure. :P

[sokamiwohali]

you can fashion a handle out of the barrels of cheap pens that you can take apart (usually the BIC pens with that endcap of the color of the ink (ie. blue/black, etc) and then thread parachute cord (AKA...550 Cord) through the barrel and tie the rope to the neck of the bottle. ;) thank god for 550 Cord...saves the day again...lol

[Venemot]

instead of one you could use 2 bottles and stick a wood(or pipe) through them. To hold the bottles in place you can drill a hole right through the bottle(at the place where the cap is)and the wood(or pipe) and and put a nut and bolt through the hole. I once made a barbell from jam tins. It weighed like 10 kg. That was more than a decade ago.

you could hot glue straps of cloth or super glue depending on the weight.

You could use a bottle that has a handle prebuilt into it. Perhaps a half-gallon milk or orange juice bottle? It would weigh almost the same, a half-gallon is only a small fraction smaller than a 2 liter bottle.

[knexfan9182]

No, one gallon is slightly less than two liters.

[ecarrilloalbarran]

Actually 1 Galon = 3.78543 Liters

[canadianlibrarian]

you are all aware that there are two types of gallons - Imperial and US
1 imperial gallon=4.54609188 liters
1 US gallon== 3.78541178 liters

Tie rope handles around the lip of the mouth.

[canida]

With a piece of narrow-gauge PVC pipe around the rope as an actual handle.

[DIYerr]

As soon as I saw this instructable I thought of the exact same thing...

[Chicken2209]

rope would be the best way to go...

[Delo97]

Whew... Bodybuilding... I though i had to DRINK it...

[Ysabeau]

You must drink it before, that's the problem.

[Delo97]

I mean: Lose weight DRINKING Coca-Cola (maybe adding something inside...)

[bailey_bails]

what if some one mistakes that for soda because when you shake the soda you get brown fizz

[Grey_Wolfe]

Hopefully they'd notice the odd consistency when they poured it into their glass. lol >.<

[hydrnium.h2]

Wouldn't the sand eventually grow mold?
