The Bologna Bottle Today
Perhaps there are some financial impediments to the free exchange of knowledge on this subject. One is a magical effect based on the principle sold for $1000 a pop, until a recent decimation to $100 (involving the alleged imprisonment of the creator of the original devil's flask, for unrelated charges), and perhaps another is simply selling the bottles for reasonably pricey science demonstrations. Another possibility is that many glassblowers in the world know how to make these and simply don't because they are perceived dangerous or useless, and it is for this same reason that easily accessible knowledge is not forthcoming.

Famous quotes containing the words bologna, bottle and/or today:
“I come from a long line of male chauvinists in a very traditional family. To rebel against my background, I didn’t shoot dope—I married a working woman.”

“Name me, if you can, a better feeling than the one you get when you’ve half a bottle of Chivas in the bag with a gram of coke up your nose and a teenage lovely pulling off her tube top in the next seat over while you’re doing a hundred miles an hour in a suburban side street.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
