    If we want to get pedantic here it didn’t technically “shatter”, it just broke cleanly in half… at least that’s what they’ll say when you try to return it lol

      Yeah it is basically a safety ruler. Plastic ones that shatter can have a lot of sharp jagged edges, which isn’t great for kids.

        You need to drink the bottle’s contents to stop the tears. Just to be certain, stir 8n some Draino first.

    It’s already been said, but shatterproof does not mean it’s indestructible. It means that when it does break it won’t shatter into a hundred jagged edged pieces that go flying into the air and lodge themselves into some kid’s eyeball.

    This one broke cleanly in twain and did not shatter. The packaging’s claim is accurate.
