a bit shocking but not surprising. there is absolutely no vetting on vendors, a doubt in the previous admin this would have gotten by.
technically not mini soda bottles, they are pre-soda bottles meant to be molded into 2 liter bottles.
The Trump administration paid millions for test tubes—and got unusable mini soda bottles.

Preforms, the small tubes also known in the plastics industry as “baby soda bottles” or “blanks,” have a following among elementary school science teachers and amateur scientists, but they don’t meet rigorous laboratory standards. They’re much cheaper than glass vials and can be sealed off with a soda bottle cap. When inflated with high-pressure air, the soft plastic expands to the size of a 2-liter soda bottle.
