then what the fuck is the bag made out of? and why couldn't they have made the bottle out of it?

MUCH better than any liquid crap you can use. Take the screen out, shove this guy in there, attach a hose to it. This thing expands to 2-3 times is normal size, creating a seal, then it jets water into the pipe, bursting any crap away with it. I had a clogged sink, i put this in the cleanout and ran it for 5 minutes and done. Also has an attachment for a kitchin sink. Multiple sizes too, in case you have a big sewer line you need to clear.

at walmart or the hardware store they sell a plastic snake thing. looks like a long narrow plastic strip with nicks cut in the sides all the way down so there are little hook barbs. stick it down the drain and it is flexible so it goes in easy..and it grabs a surprising amount of hair. good to have. and cheap as well. work better than drano in my experience.
