I think you're underestimating how strong a Snapple bottle is, in fact, most beverage bottles. 1)the shape of a bottle (as opposed to a jar, which is what the guy in 1cup1guy used IIRC) redirects force to the bottom of the bottle, which is very thick. It works on the same principle as a Roman arch: redirection of force
2)the glass in beverage bottles is formulated to be fracture resistant (again, unlike something like an olive jar). Especially true of carbonated beverages, bottles take tremendous abuse in the filling and shipping processes, and seldom break without extreme force (far less frequently than 1 in 100).
3) If you smash a beverage bottle and take note of how it fractures, there aren't usually any long fractures (long cutting edges), and there are usually few pieces that break off. Again, the glass is formulated to break in certain ways, in the case of beverage bottles, the glass usually only gives where the force was being applied, precisely because there are no long fractures. Push on spot A and spot A breaks, without spreading the break to spots B,C,D, and E.
Just like training circus lions, fucking bottles is absolutely safe if you know what you're doing.
