Best Answer

When you pour hot water into a glass bottle, it heats up the glass very quickly. This causes the glass to expand suddenly and the expansion is not uniform over the surface of the glass. The unequal expansion cracks the bottle.


This will happen only if the temperature difference is quite high and the glass is weak.

It is easier to crack a glass bottle by heating it (like in a dishwasher) and then cooling it immediately by placing it in or under a stream of cold water. Here, the sudden contraction causes the glass to crack.

The milk bottle would crack because the hot water would cause the glass particles to vibrate and move apart, this will make the glass expand from the heat and the glass will then shatter.
