VSCO girls: Shield your eyes while this hydraulic press crushes a Hydro Flask
Hydro Flasks may make VSCO girls around the world feel unstoppable, but sadly the stainless steel water bottles themselves are not invincible.
As it turns out, a Hydro Flask is no match for a menacing hydraulic press machine. The Hydraulic Press Channel's Instagram account recently proved that bottles are capable of being utterly crushed by putting a beautiful blue one to the test.
VSCO girls, brace yourselves.

The bottle stands strong at first, and things look hopeful, but after a few seconds of intense pressure the cap caves downward and it begins to fold in on itself. About halfway through the process some so-perfect-they-look-fake ripples form in the stainless steel, and the bottle begins to leak water and eventually burst. Before you know it, it's nothing more than a flattened former VSCO girl companion. Sad.
The video is hard to watch simply because the water bottle is genuinely good, but it's also an oddly satisfying experience, too. (Especially with the sound on.)
VSCO girls, if you watched this, please take care of yourselves. You've seen a lot.
