Howdy!,

When I was in School I remember a illustration in a book about Evaporation
and/or Vaporization of Water in a Bottle.

The drawing looked something like this:

After we have dranked the contents in a small plastic Soft Drink Bottle,
we will wash it and lay it flat on the table so the inside of the bottle
will dry.

The next day I rotate the bottle half way so any moisture in the bottle
will have another chance to evaporate.

The third day I figure it has dried completly and put the cap on the
bottle until I want to put water or lemonade etc. in it, to take with us
to the car, so we will have something to drink when we are out.
